Why did God create you and me? What is the purpose of our existence? We long to know. The Bible outlines one of our basic reasons for being. “He [God] made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek God.”

All the people of the world stem from Adam, the very first human being. God made him. God brought each of us into the world as his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc.

God brought each of us into the world at specific times and he takes each of us off the stage of life at our appointed time. “In Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me” (Psalm 139:16).

God put us in the world in the particular country, state, and city in which we live. He put us here for a reason. We are to seek Him. That is, we are to look to Him, pray to Him, worship Him, and seek counsel and comfort from Him.

God may be found among His people. Seek Him there in worship. God is nearby, in His Word. Seek Him by reading the Bible. “Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near” (Isaiah 55:6).
