Acts 17:27-28

"God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’"

These verses are spoken by the Apostle Paul to the Athenians, who were a group of wise, highly educated philosophers of the day. They knew much, but didn't know Jesus. What Paul does here in his greater speech (which is worth a read) is approach these wise philosophers with great respect and preparedness. He isn't threatened, because he knows God is always at work in ways beyond our understanding. These verses remind me to not be afraid to share the Gospel, be confident, and know God is previently at work

Prayer

Lord, you are the God of the seen and unseen. Thank you that you are always near to us. May I point others to know Jesus in the way I do. Amen.
