No Him, no us.

In Him we live and move and have our being. (Acts 17:28)

Russian...farmers enjoy...the story of the day a commissar...inquired about the year's potato crop. "Oh, it was wonderful," replied the farmer. "Good, good," said the official. "Just how big was it?" "Oh, it was so big it reached up to the very foot of God." ... With a scowl, [the commissar] said, "But comrade, this is a communist state and we are atheists. You must not forget, there is no God!" "That's right, commissar, that's what I mean. No God--no potatos."

A deep truth lives hidden [here]. God is the source of all things. Without Him, we could not draw a single breath, our bodies could not function, and we would have no provision for our daily sustenance.
