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 – Matthew 1:20-21

Matthew 1:20, 21 But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

Daily D – Hebrews 6:15

Hebrews 6:15 And so, after waiting patiently, Abraham obtained the promise.

Daily D – Hebrews 4:15-16

Hebrews 4:15, 16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.

Daily D – Psalm 25:8

Psalm 25:8 The Lord is good and upright;
therefore he shows sinners the way.
He leads the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.

Daily D – Philemon 15, 16

Philemon 15, 16 For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a brief time, so that you might get him back permanently, no longer as a slave, but more than a slave — as a dearly loved brother. He is especially so to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
