Acts 17:27

that they should seek the Lord The best authorities read "seek God." This was the lesson which God meant His creation and providence to teach, that through His works men should see Him.

if haply they might feel after him, and find him The world was to be man's book in which he should read God's power and love; thus stimulated, a desire to know more might grow, and by efforts, which the graphic word of the Apostle compares to the exertion of one groping in the dark, more knowledge would come, and at last the full discovery would be made. God would be found. He is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

though he be not far from every one of us And so can reveal Himself according to the measure of zeal shewn by those who seek Him.
