Friday – Prophets

Reading – Ezekiel 37-39

Highlight Verse:

“So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet—a great army.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I know I usually lean toward the more obscure verses, but I couldn’t resist this. This is my favorite part of Ezekiel.

As part of a student ministry leadership meeting, we were asked what our best memory of serving students was.

For me, the best times by far have been when getting to the end of a teaching time and having students respond by putting their faith in Jesus.

I believe that is a modern-day equivalent of Ezekiel’s life-giving words.

Seeing new life come into the life of a student is no less wonderful than the valley of dry bones coming back to life.

It is not my words but the work of the Holy Spirit touching lives.

I count it a privilege to be able to speak to students but that is certainly not the only way God uses to speak life into people.

The Holy Spirit can use something as simple as a t-shirt or bumper sticker to start someone down the right path.

Acts of kindness, living out God’s love to people, go a long way toward drawing people to God.

And consistent friendship is priceless in the Holy Spirit’s book.

When have you seen God speak life through you?
Are there ways that you would like God to use you to bring life to people?
