Acts 17:24-31, New Living Translation

“He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, ²⁵ and human hands can’t serve his needs—for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need. From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries.

“His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ And since this is true, we shouldn’t think of God as an idol designed by craftsmen from gold or silver or stone.

“God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him. For he has set a day for judging the world with justice by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone who this is by raising him from the dead.”

This passage inspires worship. Not only songs, but in my heart and my spirit. I want to invite God in my life more, I'm getting good at squeezing Him out. He belongs here, all the time, more and more.

For the last hour I've been seeking the songs that put words and emotion to my thoughts - but I can't. Here is one song that can begin to scratch the surface of what my heart is gushing with right now: How He Loves Us!
