Brokenness to beauty (Ezekiel 37)
“We read about God taking Ezekiel, the prophet, to a valley full of dry bones and asks him- can these bones live? And Ezekiel says- Lord you alone know. And then God says in vs 11 , Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’
But as we read on God gives the promise of resurrection and restoration, He essentially says He’ll bring those very dry bones to life.
Let’s look at those broken pieces/dry bones in our lives. We may be asking- Will I be whole again? Can anything beautiful come out of this broken self? Will I ever conquer this fear?
But God gives us this promise – Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord , when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will LIVE. Ezekiel 37:13, 14
Life- in all its beauty.
And faithful is He who has promised, and He himself has overcome the grave.
Blessed Resurrection Day”.
