Thought for the day:
The God who made the world and everything in it is
the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in
temples built by human hands. Â
And he is not served by human hands,
as if he needed anything.
Rather, he Himself gives everyone life
and breath and everything else.Â
From one man he made all the nations,
that they should inhabit the whole earth;
and he marked out their appointed times in history
and the boundaries of their lands. Â
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.Â
Acts 17:24-27
