THERE IS HOPE
EZEKIEL 37:1-10
Key Verse: "And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest" (Ezekiel 37:3).
Dead bones do not have breath in them. When a person dies, the bones become dry and useless. It is only meant to be burnt or buried in the earth. It was in the valley of such dry bones that Ezekiel saw the bones of many people. The bones were no longer joined to one another and were very dry. They had died for long and there was nothing that anyone could do to bring life to them. However, God told Ezekiel to prophesy to the bones. He did as he was commanded, and the bones became living human beings again.
The people of Israel thought that there was no hope for them in their captivity, but God used these dry bones that received life to teach Ezekiel and the children of Israel that there is always hope in a seeming hopeless situation. Whatever your situation may be, cheer up and trust God. There is hope!
Prayer: The Omnipotent God reigns in my life and so I cannot fear.
