Acts 17:27-28 (New Living Translation)
His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. 28 For in him we live and move and exist.
Paul is speaking to the learned people of Athens. He discusses how man often searches and searches and searches for the Creator, the God of Heavens and Earth, and we search and search and search (did I mention that we search?).
The answer?
God is not far from any one of us.
Such is part of the human condition: we want to accomplish great things. Instead of looking in a mirror or looking into the eyes of an infant, we climb mountains and cross deserts and sail the oceans searching for God.
Take a moment, breathe, and see God in the miracle of air and breathing and a beating heart. Please God, help me to stop trying so hard.
