He said to me, ’Son of man, can these bones live?’ —Ezekiel 37:3
It’s truly amazing what the intervention of God can accomplish in a human life. The most twisted life can become straight; the driest bones can come to life. Never forge ahead with your religious common sense and say, “Oh, yes, with just a little more Bible reading, devotional time, and prayer, I see how it can be done.”
It is much easier to do something than to trust in God; we see the activity and mistake panic for inspiration. That is why we see so few fellow workers with God, yet so many people working for God. We would much rather work for God than believe in Him. Do I really believe that God will do in me what I cannot do? The degree of hopelessness I have for others comes from never realizing that God has done anything for me.
Is your life dry? Just a little? Twisted? Just a little? You can’t fix it; but He can. Can these bones live? With God’s help, you bet they can.
