Quotes about God
God sustains you and me: "He himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.... `For in him we live and move and have our being"' (Acts 17:25,28). He supplies our daily food (see 2 Corinthians 9:10). Our times are in His hands (see Psalm 31:15). Every breath we breathe is a gift from God, every bite of food we eat is given to us from His hand, every day we live is determined by Him.
