“For in him we live and move and have our being.” Acts 17:28a (NIV)
Our verse today is a very small part of the speech that the apostle Paul gave on Mars Hill* in Athens, Greece. This speech is recorded in the Acts of the Apostles chapter 17. Paul was teaching about the true God to people who were worshiping many false gods. Some who enjoyed spending “their time in nothing other than tell or hearing something new (v. 21)” invited Paul to explain what he was teaching. Paul took the opportunity to tell them about the one true God. We worship the true God about whom the apostle Paul was speaking. What He said about God is true for you and me today. Our God has given us life when we were born and He gives us life every day. We don't live on on own. And even the moments we make through the day are in the strength that God gives. We need to remember this as we move around each day. As we do remember His involvement in our lives, His presence with us become more precious. For it is in Him that we have our being.
*Mars Hill is the Roman name for a hill in Athens, Greece, called the Hill of Ares or the Areopagus
