“Now the earth was formless and void, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." (Genesis 1:2). There is an old Hebrew term, "Ruah," which means "spirit or breath of God." It is this same spirit that hovers over the water in the beginning; it is also the breath of life that God breathes into Adam, making him a living being. This R U A H is life itself. We survive only because this spirit is within us. What does wind do to water? It creates ripples. It changes everything. When God breathed life into all of creation, His Ruah put everything into motion. Even life itself.
