My first time to your blog! What a ...Hey Chelsea! My first time to your blog! What a wealth of refreshing meditations! I appreciate what you mentioned about the Hebrew word for Spirit being "ruach", and it reminded me of a brief study I did once on the Greek word translated "saying" in the NT. Specifically looking at Mark 9:32, I discovered that there are two different words used in different places to mean the SPOKEN word and the WRITTEN word of God. "Logos" is the written word of God that is "living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword" (Heb.4:12). We also know that "the letter" (by itself) "kills, but the Spirit gives life" (2Cor.3:6). Which brings me to the second word, "rhema", meaning the spoken word. Spoken by the very "ruach" or Spirit you mentioned. How we need to strive to "quench not the Spirit" (1 Thess.5:19), so that we can keep in step with Him! You were right when you said that His voice is still and quiet, and there is such a need (at least I find this in my own life) to LIVE in a place of a "meek and quiet spirit" (1Peter 3:4) myself, so that I can be obedient when He does whisper. May God continue to bless you with the revelation of Himself as you study His "logos" and listen to His "rhema"!<BR/>KelliKelli Woodfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470877283634008623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6970468212901340270.post-32920718973823463602008-09-12T11:52:00.000-05:002008-09-12T11:52:00.000-05:00SAGO...and nice fruitcake reference.SAGO...and nice fruitcake reference.mowenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04585169865912399030noreply@blogger.com
