Advent 1: God is a tempest

Today’s reading from Disturbing Complacency looked at the ‘ruach‘ of God and it’s incomplete translation to ‘spirit’ which we have used commonly.
Rather than spirit, ruach refers more to tempest, a real tangible ‘living something’. Spirit lacks energy compared to the depth or ruach.

Today I needed to take Joe to the doctor. The wind was amazing, a storm was brewing, it was hard to walk, the storm took your breath away and it gave me a new sense of who God is.
