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

James 4:15 You ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that."

Psalm 104:27-29 These all look to you, to give them their food in due season. When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things. When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
