The Question of Possibility: Can These Bones Live?
In the heart of a barren valley filled with dry bones, God poses a profound question to Ezekiel: "Son of man, can these bones live?" (Ezekiel 37:3). This question isn’t just for Ezekiel—it’s for us, too. Have you ever gazed upon a situation that seemed hopeless, wondering if life could ever spring from its desolation?
Breath in the Valley of Desolation
Imagine walking through a valley filled with the remnants of what once was alive. These bones, long detached from their former selves, seemed destined for eternal stillness. Yet, God asks His servant a question that challenges the very nature of reality and faith.
-
Dry Bones: These symbolize moments of spiritual dryness or situations where hope seems lost.
-
God’s Inquiry: A call for hope, inviting us to believe in transformation beyond our understanding.
Ezekiel’s response is one of faith and humility: "Sovereign Lord, you alone know." His answer acknowledges that in God, all things are possible—even breathing life into the lifeless.
The Power of God’s Word
Ezekiel was instructed to prophesy over the bones, and as he spoke God’s word, transformation began. There was a noise, then a rattling as bone came together with bone.
-
The Rattling: Represents the beginning of change when faith meets divine power.
-
The Breath of Life: God breathed His Spirit into the bones, signifying a revival that only He can orchestrate.
In your life, where are the dry bones? What dreams or relationships feel lifeless? The same power that revived the bones in Ezekiel’s vision is at work today. Speak life over these areas, believing that God’s Spirit can bring revival.
Faith in the Impossible
The story of Ezekiel’s vision invites us to consider the power of faith and the transformative potential of God’s intervention. Our finite understanding may see impossibility, but God sees potential.
You might find yourself asking, "Can these bones live?" in moments where hope feels distant. This narrative encourages you to respond with Ezekiel’s humility and faith, trusting that God holds the answer.
- Reflection: Are there areas in your life that feel like a valley of dry bones? How can you invite God’s Spirit to breathe life into them?
