Acts17:27

27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

The Apostle tells these Philosophers, to whom he spake, the true use of their Philosophy, to improve their knowledg of natural things; to beget in them by it an admiration of the God of Nature: for as from him, so for him are all things. Rom. 11.36.

And although God himself is incorporeal, yet the things which he made are palpable; and did they seek as they ought, they might find a great deal of God out by the creatures, in which his Wisdom, Power and Goodness is manifested, Rom. 1.20.

God filleth all things, especially he is near in the effects of his Wisdom, Goodness and Faithfulness, by which he orders and disposes of all things, to the falling off of a hair from our Heads.
