This song is taken from Ezekiel 37, where Ezekiel was standing in a valley of old dry bones. God told him to speak to those bones that God would breathe life into them, He would restore their tendons, flesh, and skin, and they would come to life and know that He is the Lord!
Ezekiel obeyed and spoke the words and bone came to bone, tendons, flesh and skin covered them but there was no breath in them. God told Ezekiel to call for the 4 winds to come forth and breathe into them. As Ezekiel prophesied it, the wind blew the breath of life, and a vast army stood to their feet.
How many of us are walking around feeling like we are a bunch of dry bones and have no hope of life getting better?
We think “Oh this is a new year, everything will be better now” but then we look, and it already seems as if nothing has changed at all.
When we start to feel the “dry bones” of our lives taking over with depression, helplessness, hopelessness, bitterness or any other negative feeling we have to make a choice to not claim them and hold on to them.
Getting into the pit of despair has become too easy for many of us because we choose to live by our feelings and then climbing out of that pit becomes more and more difficult but I want to encourage us to hold on to the Word of God and fill our heart and mind with His goodness,to prophesy to any valley of dry bones in our lives and we shall live to testify the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
