Acts 17:26-28
26From one man he made every nation of men, that they should
inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them
and the exact places where they should live. 27God 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.

Yes, we need to live for God and strive to do His will.
Starting with verse 26- it says that He made every nation of men (creation) that they should inhabit the whole earth (we live on earth) and he determined the times set for them (He made the day and night at creation) and the exact places where they should live (He put us where we are He formed us. We aren't just happenstance.)
Verse 27- God did this so that men would seek him (we are susposed to seek after His will for our lives) and perhaps reach out for him (go to church and be faithful to our God) and find him (if we reach out we will find) though he is not far from each one of us (He is as close as the mention of His name. All we have to do is talk and ask for what we have need of).
I don't know what you believe or anything else about you but you are seeking for God's will. Please heed to the pull of God on your life. I believe with all of my heart that the Bible is God's word (KJV) for our lives!! I go to a United Pentecostal Church and I encourage you to find a church. The only reason I mentioned where I go to church at is because we believe and teach the whole Bible. If you want to email for more information. If I can help you in someway please email me mid22200@yahoo.com.
Hope this helps you!!

God is known in his creation, and he is close to every one of us. But he is not trapped in his creation—he is transcendent. God is the Creator, not the creation. This means that God is sovereign and in control, while at the same time he is close and personal. Let the Creator of the universe rule your life.

It helps me realize that this useless piece of bronze-age fiction need to end up on the ash-heap of history once and for all.
And with better education for the masses, it will.
