Ezekiel 37:1-10
verse 3: He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “O Sovereign Lord, you alone know.”
Ezekiel’s faith is awesome- can you imagine being led to a massive collection of dried up human bones? Ezekiel is then asked his opinion- asked by God- can these bones live? Ezekiel answers directly to God- “you alone know.” And God proceeds to put the bones together and breathes life into them. I am pretty sure I would have run for my life the second those bones began to move. But Ezekiel stays with God, waiting for his instructions. God lets him know His plans for Israel, and tells Ezekiel what to say to the people. If I could only be so courageous and so faithful- it is more than I can honestly imagine. But I can try- I can look to God more quickly, more often, and with more courage. I can listen more carefully, more often, and with an open heart. I can be courageous and bold with God on my side. Psalm 138:3 -When I called, you answered me. You made me bold and stouthearted. Thank you, Lord. Amen
