Dry Bones to Life - 8/10/21

Dry Bones to Life

Hey family, today I just want to remind you that we serve the greatest redeemer the world will ever know. He restores broken cities, He heals the broken hearted and the sick, and He can redeem all relationships starting with the relationship between yourself and Him. 

Questions to Ponder: What in your life do you see God redeeming? And what in your life are you withholding from God that needs redeeming? 

Today's Prayer

"Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You today with a repentant heart for the things and relationships that I have withheld from You and Your mighty redeeming works. Help us in our pride, Lord, to willingly step down from our pedistals and humbly submit our lives in their entirety to You. I don't need to tell You how or when to do what You do best, therefore I simply ask that in Your timing and will, please bring our dry bones back to life and let the Your goodness be known and seen in the land of the living. In Jesus Christ's beautiful name we pray, Amen."

Scripture

The Lord Restores All

Ezekiel 37:1‭-‬14 

"The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. And he said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "O Lord God, you know." Then he said to me, "Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord." So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live." So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. Then he said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, 'Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are indeed cut off.' Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your graves and raise you from your graves, O my people. And I will bring you into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people. And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it, declares the Lord."
