Valley of Dry Bones
11 Then he said to me: "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, 'Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.' 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O 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. - Ezekiel 37 - 11, 12
In the above verse we see the Lord promising restoration to a hopeless nation. Ezekiel was taken by the Lord to a valley of dry bones in a vision and asked to prophesy to these dry bones. When we read Ezekiel 37:1-14 we see that the Lord commands Ezekiel to prophesy 3 times. First to the bones and when he did they all joined up together and tendons and flesh came upon them. Secondly he prophesied to the breath and breath came upon these formed bodies and thirdly he prophesied to the hopeless people of Israel (as in reference verse above).
The valley of dry bones turned into a huge army of the Lord. Amen! Unbelievable right. I never really thought about this chapter much until one of my cousin actually talked to me about it. And Ezekiel saw these bones joining in its own body and its tendons and flesh and skin forming on it. Then the valley of dry scattered bones became a valley of the living.... God, I can't even imagine of such a thing happening. But that is why we serve a living God a God who can make everything possible. Amen! He promises that ( I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them) he will open up the grave of sorrow or pain or suffering or whatever bad situation we are in now and He will bring us out of it and ( will bring you back to the land of Israel) bring us to a situation in which we will have peace and hope and joy. Praise God for His promises.
Few of my family members are in pain right now due to loss of job, loss of peace and due to diseases which has put me also in a state of heartache and frustration. But now through this verse the Lord has promised that He will bring back peace and hope in their lives and I know that He will give them more than what they ever wanted or more than what they ever imagined. My sister has lost her job that was the best in our eyes but I am sure that she is going to get a job that is far better than the one that she has lost. Yes Amen I believe it!
Let us pray: -
Father, thank you for everything, be it sorrow or joy. There is no situation or pain in our life that you are not aware of. I offer everything to you. Thank you for seeing the tears and heartaches of my family and friends. Thank you for the great joy and hope that you have prepared for them. Give us the faith to believe it and to receive with both hands whatever you give us. Lord you have promised to lift us out of our graves of trouble and give us hope and peace and so we believe it. I believe that my sister is going to get a better job than the one that she just lost. I believe that there is going to be peace and love in our families and in the lives of our friends. I believe that there is going to be a healing in the life of my cousin sister and that she is going to get a married life as she desires very soon. Yes and I believe all the crucial situations at my work place are going to ease very soon. I do not know how you are going to do all these but Yes You are going to do it. Thank you in advance for everything. We love you Lord and you are the only one we can take refuge in anytime and anywhere. You are always listening. Amen!
