Today's Verse

"His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way towards him and find him, though he is not far from any of us. For in him we live and move and exist…" – Acts 17:27-28a

Acts 17 is one of those chapters you have to read all the way through to truly grasp, but the message is clear. "For in Him (God) we live and move and exist." Our purpose in seeking God is not about making a deal or even listening to the message because we have too, it is about living a life that represents who we are in Christ. It's about learning as much as we can about that identity so we can embrace it. Paul's message here is a reminder that we belong to God, not as idol worshippers, but as life changing members of His family. Our faith is meant to serve as a reminder to all we encounter that is never that far from any of us, all we have to do is find him. - Commentary by: Matthew J. Elliot

Today's Prayer

Father God, I know that my purpose in life is more about seeking my identity in you. Today, I pray that you will make your presence known more often in my life and that I will be the reminder of your love I'm meant to be. Amen.

All of us at The Gospel Daily feel so blessed to be able to serve so many in encouraging their relationship with God.

Have a Great Weekend,
David
