By Request - Dry Bones

He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.”

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.
Ezekiel 37:3-5 NIV

We all go through them. Desert places. Places so dry you wonder if you will live through them - or sometimes question whether or not you even want to live through them. Well, there's good news and there's great news.

The good news is often hidden or lost to us in the dust of the desert, but it is found in Psalm 37:23, The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. If you're in the desert, or on the mountaintop, or in the valley of dead, dry bones, God knows exactly where you are and He's dealing with EVERY detail.

The great news is found in our Promise for Today - Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.

In Ephesians 5:25-26, Paul tells us, Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word. Hear the Word of the Lord! Run to the Living Water. Your parched dry bones WILL come to LIFE!

Prayer:

Father,

            Thank You for Your Word! Thank You for directing our paths exactly to where we need to be! Help us to always look for Your fingerprints even in the desert sands. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
