- Acts 17:28
For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’
Everything that God created, He connected to a source. As long as the created stays connected, it lives and thrives.
In the heavens, God placed the sun and stars. If a star falls from the sky, it dies; it has disconnected from its source. On the earth, God placed trees and plants. If we pull fresh flowers from the ground, they begin to wither and die apart from their life source.
When God made humans, He created us out of Himself. Made in His image, He breathed life into us. In Him, we live and move and have our being – we are His children! We have unlimited potential because our Source is limitless.
Sin created a soul-deep problem; it separated us from our Source. Every one of us has sinned and is dead in trespasses. Like a fish out of water, we flail and gasp for breath. We are not where we belong – outside of His provision and power.
Without connection to our Source, we are dead men and women walking! Salvation through Christ reconnects us to our Source. We find life, wholeness, and abundance. Apart from Him, we can do nothing. Stay plugged in to stay powered up!
Blessing:
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. As you commit to stay connected to your Source, may you be filled with all the fullness and power of the Holy Spirit to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth. Amen.
