O Paul of Tarsus, how you bless me!
"The God who made the world and all that is in it,
the Lord of heaven and earth,
does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands,
nor is he served by human hands because he needs anything.
Rather it is he who gives to everyone life and breath and everything.
He made from one the whole human race
to dwell on the entire surface of the earth,
and he fixed the ordered seasons and the boundaries of their regions,
so that people might seek God,
even perhaps grope for him and find him,
though indeed he is not far from any one of us."
[Acts 17:24-27]
Have you ever searched for, longed for, groped for God? And then have discovered He was there all along? I have.

Let us rise with Him
Hear ye! Hear ye!
"For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin,
it will destroy itself.
But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them;
you may even find yourselves fighting against God."
~Gamaliel, a pharisee and teacher of Jewish law, speaking about the early Christians
While we believers can take consolation on this, given the longevity of our Christian history, we should also take this as a challenge to always root ourselves, connect ourselves, with God and His ongoing work in His Son's Body, through the power of the Spirit.
The Lord is risen! Let us rise with Him!
