Reading – Ezekiel 37-39

Highlight Verse:

“So I spoke this message, just as he told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as complete skeletons.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37‬:‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The Valley of Dry Bones remained dead until Ezekiel spoke.

Of course, it was God who brought life into those bones, but He chose to work through Ezekiel.

It may sound like faith to say that God doesn’t need me to accomplish His will on Earth.

The problem with that is it IS God’s will to accomplish His purposes on Earth through us.

His plans include all His people.

Our participation doesn’t make it easier for Him to do His will. I dare say it is harder to work through us than it would be to do it Himself.

But, when we do His will, it changes us.

We would not be complete without the Holy Spirit working through us. We would miss out on a whole level of life if we didn’t let His life work through us.

• If you feel like you aren’t qualified to do God’s work, let God qualify you as you do it.

• If you feel like it would take too much out of you to step up and do God’s work, know that He will supply more than you can imagine to replace what you give.

• If you feel burnt out from doing God’s work, maybe He will want you to focus on training and leading others to do His work.

While God certainly wants us to practice the Biblical concept of Sabbath rest, that concept involves resting and communing with God to empower us to move forward.

Are you willing to speak to the “Valley of Dry Bones” that God places before you?
How has God rewarded you for doing His work?
