chapter 29

"In the heart the word and Spirit must meet: it is only by indwelling that we can experience their teaching. The word must dwell, must abide in us: heart and life must day by day be under its influence. Not from without, but from within, comes the quickening of the word by the Spirit."

I woke up this morning thinking about the mystery of God - how can we really even know him? But since we are called to know Him, to seek Him, to worship Him, and to follow Him, He certainly has and will reveal Himself to us. How? By the WORD and the SPIRIT. Not by one or the other, nor by one over the other - but both. Our prayer life is only a life if it is connected to God, and that connection is grounded in the Word and the Spirit.
