Nor is He worshiped with men ' s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.

1. Omnipotent - God does not need men to serve Him. God does not need anything. He gives. He does not need us to meet His needs.

2. Giver - The God of Paul is one who gives, not takes. He gives to all of us:

1. Life - God breathed into us the breath of life - We became living souls.

2. Breath - God supplies the things we need - air, oxygen, water, food, meat. Everything we need to sustain our lives - was supplied by God.

3. All things - Even things that we do not fully understand. God supplied trees and grass to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. We breath out carbon dioxide and the green plants convert that carbon dioxide and emit oxygen. As they say, "Who'd a thunked it?" God thought of it before we knew we needed it.
