Commanding The Dry Bones
Again He said to me, 'Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!’
— Ezekiel 37:4
Have you ever felt like you were staring at a valley of dry bones in your own life? Situations that seem as lifeless and hopeless as a skeleton? Well, you’re not alone. Remember the story of Ezekiel? God didn’t just show him a valley of bones; He showed him potential, a chance for revival.
You might ask, "Can these dry bones live?" Yes, they are definitely capable of doing it! Just like God instructed Ezekiel, He invites us to speak life into our own valleys. When God told Ezekiel to prophesy to the bones, He was telling him to use his words to ignite change. Why? Because words have power. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” So, when you speak, make it count.
What's your 'valley of dry bones'? Maybe it's a dream you've given up on or a relationship that's gone cold. It's time to speak to those bones. But how? Just like Ezekiel, you start by speaking the Word of the Lord over your situation. It’s not just about positive thinking; it’s about divine authority. When Jesus talked to a fig tree, things happened. When He spoke to the storm, peace followed. And when you speak God's Word, you release that same power.
So, what will you say to your dry bones today? Will you command them to hear the Word of the Lord? Because when you do, you’re not just talking to the wind; you’re speaking with the backing of heaven’s power. That’s how mountains move. That's how dry bones rise up and form an army. Today, take a step of faith. Speak life and watch God work wonders. Can these bones live? With God's Word on your lips, watch and see. They most certainly can!
