Acts 17:24-27 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          24The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human hands.
          25Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
          26From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands.

²⁷God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.
