Thought for the day:

The God who made the world and everything in it
is the Lord of heaven and earth.
He doesn't live in shrines made by human hands,
and He isn't served by people as if He needed anything.
He Himself gives everyone life, breath, and everything else. 
From one man He made every nation of humanity
to live all over the earth, fixing the seasons of the year
and the national boundaries within which they live, 
so that they might look for God,
somehow reach for him, and find Him.
Of course, He is never far from any one of us.
Acts 17:24-27
