The hand of the LORD was on me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and placed me in the midst of the valley, and it was full of bones. Ezekiel 37:1 NET
There are so many things for us to discover about who God is; maybe because of busy lives and schedules, we lose the opportunity to discover these deep and wonderful truths. It is time for us to stop and be still so that we can know God, and trust and praise Him, and make Him Lord of our lives. It is ok to say no to some things to make room for God’s yes.
Ezekiel was sent and set by God in the valley of dry bones. Its true for His children today too, God sends us and places us in dead, dry, and dark places. Our mandate, as His disciples, is to be light and to speak life into the dead, dry, defeated and forgotten about things. We are to say what God says.
Sometimes, we are set in these abandoned and forgotten about places in order to breathe life and to bring order into chaos and disfunction.
God has anointed our hands to build and God has given us the grace to help others build. The gifts, talents, and abilities that He has placed on the inside of you are not only for your benefit and self exaltation — the gifts and talents that are buried inside of you are to be used to Glorify God, carry the message of salvation.
