God Restores
3 He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "O Lord GOD, You know." 4 Again He said to me, "Prophesy over these bones and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.' 5 Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones, 'Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life. 6 I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will know that I am the LORD.'" 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
(Ezekiel 37:3-7)
When the Babylonians conquered Israel,the people felt hopeless,surrounded by death and destruction and in need of restoration (Lamentations 1).During this period of turmoil, God took the prophet Ezekiel to a valley and gave him a vision where he was surrounded by dry bones. He asked Ezekiel “can these dry bones live” to which Ezekiel
replied “ Lord only you know”(Ezekiel 37:3).Ezekiel then goes on to say“As I was prophesying,there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together” (37:7).We learn through this vision that restoration can only come through God.
No matter what we have “broken” in our lives that to us seem unrepairable,we have the assurance of knowing that our God is waiting to restore us.God promises to restore, strengthen, and re-establish all believers,when we seek Him with all of our hearts, just as He promises in Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart”.Thank You Lord !
