Today we will read the first part of Acts 17:28 which says, “For in Him we live and move and exist.”

How are you doing today? Did you feel great yesterday but today is a different story? Maybe life is more like that than we care to admit. What’s the answer? All too often it seems our go-to is to push through. Pull up our bootstraps and press on. And in fairness, we need to do a lot of pressing on in life to function. But behind the pressing on, where is the energy? Is it from you? The ability to maintain a healthy marriage, kids, and family - is that from you? The ability to earn an income - is that from you? The energy it takes to stay alive - is it really from you?

We wouldn’t even be considering these questions if it weren’t for God. Your life, and all the beauty in it would be non-existent but for God. This world, and the billions of unique lives and stories - nothing - absolutely nothing without God.

At the most basic level, God is all there is. And we exist only as a derivative of His desire. It’s not a surprise then that Paul would say, “In Him we live and move and exist.” We are animated by Him. We are endowed with life, spirit and vigor by Him.

And Paul would argue with you, just as he did in this passage with the Athenians, and say that God is not far from you. He is so near. And your existence is in large part, perhaps entirely, organized so that you would seek Him and find Him.

Imagine that today is filled with extra animating spiritual energy from God. Would you want that? What could you experience, and accomplish, and give to others if you lived today with fresh energy from God? Amazingly Paul tells us what to do to get it. “Reach out and find Him.” You’re doing that now. And as we always say, it’s a brave thing to do. So let’s continue to do it.

“God I boldly, without apology, and brazenly reach out to You now. I need You so much more than I even realize. Give me more. I love You!”
