Ezekiel 37:1-3  The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley filled with bones. He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out. Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?” “O Sovereign Lord,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.” (NLT)

We live in an increasingly hopeless and helpless world. It’s not the first time things have been this bad. Ezekiel 37 is a bleak reminder of what happens when we forget God and turn away from his will and ways. It is also a reminder of how God restores and revitalizes even what appears hopeless and helpless. 

He who created the heavens and the earth took dust and formed Adam. Then he breathed the breath of life into him. Our God forms and fills. He restores and revitalizes. 

What in your life is dying or dead? Where do you see hopelessness and helplessness? What could use God’s breath of life?

You may feel hopeless and helpless. 

Your family may feel hopeless and helpless.

Your place of work may feel hopeless and helpless.

Nothing is as hopeless and helpless as it appears. God can restore and revitalize even the driest of dead bones. He can restore and revitalize you, your family, and your place of work. 

Where do you need the fresh wind of God’s breath of life to blow today? Follow the instructions of Philippians 4:6 and 7:

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.
His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

God is in the soul restoration business. He works with those like Ezekiel who leave the answers and the process with him. He works with those who trust him enough to do his will his way in his timing.

I will trust God to form and to fill, to restore and to revitalize what appears to me dead, dry, helpless, and hopeless.

Our Father, breathe the breath of life into the dry bones in my life. Where I see helplessness, help me. Where I feel hopeless, give me living hope. Where I see nothing but death and destruction, revitalize and restore. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 92:12-15

Psalm 92:12-15
The righteous thrive like a palm tree
and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
Planted in the house of the LORD,
they thrive in the courts of our God.
They will still bear fruit in old age,
healthy and green,
to declare, “The LORD is just;
he is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in him.”

Daily D – Matthew 22:15-17

Matthew 22:15-17 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap him by what he said. So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are truthful and teach truthfully the way of God. You don’t care what anyone thinks nor do you show partiality. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

Daily D – Psalm 90:12

Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.

Daily D – Matthew 17:1-9

Matthew 17:1-9 After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. He was transfigured in front of them, and his face shone like the sun; his clothes became as white as the light. Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it’s good for us to be here. If you want, I will set up three shelters here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown and were terrified.
Jesus came up, touched them, and said, “Get up; don’t be afraid.” When they looked up they saw no one except Jesus alone.
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Don’t tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”

Daily D – Matthew 15:34

Matthew 15:34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked them. “Seven,” they said, “and a few small fish.”
