26And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, 27so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; 28for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’
Acts 17:26-28
Acts 17:26-28
Incredible! Starting with Adam God has formed all the ethnic groups in the world, He planned where, and how long nations would exist so that each of us would have the best chance of finding the Lord. He made it so easy that “they might grope for Him and find Him”. He did this by being the very substance we live, move and exist in. We are so connected to Him by creation that we bear His image to such a degree that we are His offspring.
God has designed things so that we don’t need great skills or insights to find Him. We need only to reach out for Him and He is there. God is the very matrix we move through in this life. He is our very existence.
Since God has secured our success to know Him. All it takes is a humble heart that will acknowledge our need and the confidence that He wants to know us so we will try to find Him. Those who seek God will find Him. Those who find God will love Him. Those who love God will seek Him more.
Seeking, Finding, Loving,
Pastor Jason
