Description
Experience the grace of God like never before.
Here is a sample of what you'll get:
Marrowless, sun scorched bones line the barren valley. The smell of death permeates the desert air. The peculiar Prophet finds himself in the midst of bleached carcasses and lost hope. Ezekiel shuffles along the valley floor scanning the piles of dry bones. He stops in his tracks as a mighty voice booms from the heavens.
"Son of man, can these bones live?" I said, "Sovereign Lord, you alone know." Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.'" (Ezekiel 37:3-6, NIV)
Living in the valley of dry bones is about as bleak of a picture as you can get. It is home to lost causes. The place where hope goes to die and the world turns its back. It is ugly. Hard. Broken. Stifling. But God specializes in lost causes. The more bleak the potential outcome, the more obvious it is who did it. Man takes credit for God's accomplishments but there are times when even atheists shake their heads in astonishment. God is glorified when dry bones rattle to new life.
You may have dry bones sitting in the back of your closet. They're tucked away in a place where no one will ever know. But God does. He sees the ashen residue that litters the floor of your life and He comes with new life. The collective dust of sin and its consequences stifles your spiritual life but He comes with new life. He did it in the life of a nation and He will do it for you.
