God is Not Far Away

The Good News Today Is..."God did this so that men would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though he is not far from each one of us." (Acts 17:27) We are supposed to seek Him. We are supposed to reach out for Him. We are supposed to find Him. This verse came to me as I have been writing my paper seeking commissioning from the American Baptist Churches of Maine. My paper asks me to explain my understanding of the theology of God, The Holy Spirit, Jesus, the bible, baptism, the Lord's Supper, salvation, etc. While writing this paper I have had to seek deeper than I have had to in the past. We can know what all of these things mean on the surface, but when asked what they mean to us personally, we have to look inside ourselves and discern what is really there. It has been a great exercise and I wish I had done this earlier in my life. When we seek, when we reach out, we do find Him, He is not far.
