Julius Scott, Jr. notes that in Acts Stephen emphasises that G-d works not just in Canaan:
God spoke to Abraham in Mesopotamia (7:2 ff.) and to Moses in the wilderness of Arabia (7:30 ff.);
GOd blessed Joseph in Egypt (7:9 ff.), and it is in Egypt that Isreal grew (7:17) and
experienced God's deliverance (7:36 ff.).
Even the law, the focal point of Jewish life, was not given to Israel in her own land but at Mount Sinai (7:38).

Where's God?
There were two young brothers, 8 and 10 years old, who were exceedingly mischievous. Whatever went wrong in the neighborhood, they had a hand in it. Their parents were at their wits' end trying to control them.
Hearing about a priest nearby who worked with delinquent boys, the mother suggested to her husband that she ask the priest to talk with the boys, and he agreed.
And so, the mother went to the priest and made her request. He agreed, but said he wanted to see the younger boy first, and alone. So the mother sent the younger one to the priest.
The priest sat the boy down across from his HUGE, impressive desk. For about five minutes they just sat and stared at each other. Finally, the priest pointed his forefinger at the boy and asked, "Young man, where is God?"
The boy looked under the desk, in the corners of the room, all around, but said nothing.
Again, louder, the priest pointed at the boy and asked, "Where is God?"
Again, the boy looked all around but said nothing. A third time, in a louder, firmer voice, the priest leaned far across the desk and put his forefinger almost to the boy's nose, and asked, "Young man, I ask you, where is God?"
The boy panicked and ran all the way home. Finding his older brother, he dragged him upstairs to their room and into the closet, where they usually plotted their mischief. He finally said, "We're in Bi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-g trouble."
The older boy asked, "What do you mean, 'BIG trouble?'"
His brother replied, "We're in BIG trouble. God is missing and they think WE did it!"
Whoa!
