Nov 6 - Acts 17:25 - Everything

He himself gives life
and breath to everything,
and he satisfies
every need there is.
Acts 17:25

How would you describe God?

I don’t ask this question idly. It’s incredibly important. How you define God determines how you act. For example …
  •      If God is a judge, we’re always afraid, always trying to appease him.
  •      If God is a genie, we make wishes and hope he comes through (and grow distant when  
  •      If God is passive (alive, but distant; keeping his hands off day-to-day events), we’re less likely to pray and trust and treat him as if he matters.

Do you see how that works?

Well, I’d suggest today’s verse as a good definition of God if you want to discover more of his power and provision!
  •      If God gives life to everything, we in awe of his power and we worship him in wonder.
  •      If God animates everything with his breath, we depend on him daily for life and breath and daily food.
  •      If God satisfies every need, then we become active in prayer, depending on him for decisions, comfort, help, provision, and blessing.

In Christ’s Love,
a guy who believes
that God is everything!
