“An utterance (individually, collectively, or especially) by implication, a matter or topic (especially of narration, command or dispute) a saying, word.” (#4487) Strong’s Dictionary defines it like this: Rhema (hray’-mah), on the other hand, refers to any spoken word. “…That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled which He spoke, signifying by what death He would die.” (my addition)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (my addition) There are over 300 examples of logos in the Bible. Logos refers to the written form of holy Scripture and sometimes to Jesus Himself. Two Greek words translate as “word” in the English language-logos and rhema. Let’s explore how God does this and perhaps discover what His rhema word is for you. Simply put, it’s one way God talks to us, even how He talks to us personally one-on-one. If you’re not familiar with rhema, don’t worry. God uses two different forms of communication to do this.

What you do is you choose a word that describes your “why” and what your intentions of the year will be. A popular way many people set goals is by centering them around a specific word. Welcome to a brand-new year! What a great time to start fresh with new goals and new ideas. “So, then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17
