Ezekiel 37:11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’
Who among us hasn’t felt completely dried up at times, like they have given everything they have to give with nothing left? I know I have. That pretty much described me at the end of the past semester.
Ezekiel 37:12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
Verse 14 gives the answer to the question of renewal: “I will put my Spirit in you and you will live,” declares the Lord. Reconnecting with the Lord is the only way these dry bones can live again.
Ezekiel 37:13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
Lord, Help me to seek You daily so that I don’t reduce myself to dry bones in the day-to-day of life. Reconnect me to You, renew Your Spirit within me. Restore my soul. Amen.
Ezekiel 37:14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’”
Have a blessed day.
