New life

 

‘“Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again!”’ – Ezekial 37: 4 - 5

AMAZING how nature can restore itself. Sir David Attenborough’s eye-opening “earth” TV programs are jammed packed with graphic examples of creatures and plants birthing and blossoming after seemingly being wiped out. It has helped me realize that God’s wonders of nature also signify His ability to breathe new life into mankind’s seemingly hopeless situations. Haven’t we all sometimes felt that something has expired in our own lives? A relationship, a career, a job, an ambition, your love for a church, your energy or enthusiasm? Does your present set of problems feel as though it is draining you? Does your dream seem beyond you? Whatever it is, pray to the Lord. If He can turn dry bones into an army, (and enable ants to flourish in bone-dry deserts) you too can have new life through prayer. Believe Him.
