Acts 17:27

MSG

NIV

27 so we could seek after God, and not just grope around in the dark but actually find him. He doesn't play hide-and-seek with us. He's not remote; he's near.
27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.
