Daybreak: Acts 17:1-34

Recently, I read today's focus verse, "For in Him we live and move and have our being," and it reminded me of that long ago exchange.

I understand, as did Paul the Apostle, that my true existence is through Jesus Christ.

Paul was speaking to men in Athens.

He had discovered an inscription in their city to the unknown God and declared to them that he knew who this God was, the creator of all.

Paul told these men that God did not need to be unknown to them.

He actually was ready to be found of them.

Before Jesus came into my life, I was breathing, talking, thinking, and functioning in my environment, but my life had no true essence or real meaning.

Now, Jesus is my life.

I know that I live and move in Him.

I am His.

I belong to Him, and I am who I am because He forgave my sins and made me His child.

People who have not given their hearts to the Lord do not understand what causes believers to have such loyalty and honor for Him.

The knowledge of being is the answer.

We can thank God that He is not unknown to us and praise Him for giving us the wonderful, comforting, exciting knowledge of being His children.

And then we can ask Him to help us share with others the love He has for them.
