3’ x 3’ acrylic mixed media on canvas
I have an overactive mind that’s constantly going over and over things. I take deep breaths constantly throughout the day. Surrendering each time praying for peace of mind. Working on artwork that I can just let it flow and develop on its own is healing on so many levels. Turning everything over to God daily. I feel like just did some spring cleaning in my mind. Release all the clutter!
Ruach (pronounced roo-akh) is the Hebrew word for spirit, breath, or wind. When spoken, the word engages one’s breath and lungs. The first mention of Ruach in the Bible is in the very first chapter of Genesis – Genesis 1:2 to be exact:
“Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit (Ruach) of God was hovering over the waters.”
Genesis 1:2 NIV

I titled it “Soak” because when we immerse ourselves in the Word of God it strengthens us. Soaking our minds in scripture everyday til it’s overflowing into every area of our life. When tempted with something wrong or evil we will have a Spirit influenced response.
“That He might sanctify and cleanse [you] with the washing of water by the word” (Eph 5:26 NKJV).
