From one man he made every nation of men, that they would inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. 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. For in him we live and move and have our being.
In this passage Paul seems to be trying to answer the common question of all people, "What's the purpose of life and why am I here?". And he answers it by saying that we are here b/c God created each one of us and has determined a specific purpose for our lives, and He did this so that we may seek Him out and go to him and He can direct our paths. I think about those I know who do not know God and seem to be wandering around in life not really knowing why they are here on this earth, and I want to tell them what Paul told them. I pray that God will provide me more opportunities to talk about this with them.
