So I have roughly fashioned a pen name for myself... seeing that I'm beginning to explore the realm of writing... and poetry... and spoken word...
It's "TekelA Pneuma"
In class over the weekend, we were studying the highlights of the book of Daniel. In reference to the famous "Writing on the Wall," Daniel 5:25 "And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN."
So "TEKEL" kinda looked like "Tk" and then further down was the translation of the word in Daniel 5:27 "TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. "
H8625
תּקל
teqal
tek-al'
(Chaldee); corresponding to H8254; to balance: - Tekel, be weighed.
"Tekel" is a reminder for me of who I was before Christ, and who I am when I forget my position in Him.
Then there's "pneuma," the Greek word for the concept that I've been obsessed with for a while now.... the idea that in Greek, the word for breath and the word for Spirit is one in the same...
"A" is the Spanish prepostion for "to"... of course I had to throw in a little Spanish in there... it is after all my heart language =) So I've come from being found wanting to (a)......
G4151
πνεῦμα
pneuma
pnyoo'-mah
From G4154; a current of air, that is, breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively a spirit, that is, (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, daemon, or (divine) God, Christ’s spirit, the Holy spirit: - ghost, life, spirit (-ual, -ually), mind. Compare G5590.
"Pneuma" is a reminder of who I am now. Galatians 5:16 "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh."
