Can Dry Bones Live?
Ezekiel 37:1-10
The northern kingdom was called Israel and the southern kingdom was called Judah.
Those who were carried off to a foreign land thought their circumstance was hopeless.
A common cry emerged: “Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are cut off completely.”
The nation of Israel was dead. But God had a vision for Ezekiel.
Regardless of your situation, there is much to be learned.
God asked Ezekiel a question, “Can these bones live?” How would you answer that question?
Ezekiel was telling God that God is in charge.
Spiritual death is a slow but consuming path.
We become spiritually dead when sin gets in the way.
Ephesians 2:1 tells us that when we wallow in our sins and transgressions. We are spiritually dead.
Ezekiel’s experience teaches three things about life and successful living through the challenges we face:
- Coping with the impossible: Face the situation squarely.
- Do something! You need to be actively involved.
- Through the power of the Word of God the impossible becomes possible.
The Spirit of God brings us life in Christ Jesus.
“No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me, declares the Lord.” – Isaiah 54:17
