“He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?’ I said, ‘Master God, only you know that.’He said to me, ‘Prophesy over these bones: Dry bones, listen to the Message of God!’” (Ezekiel 37:3-4)
Tomorrow, on the Lord’s Day, I’m sure that you will be in the assembly of the saints, preferably in-person, but if not possible, virtually. You will hear the Word of the Lord. Yes, really! You will hear a specific sent Message of God, delivered by His specific messenger. And as I always say, I’m positive that if you have ears to hear, you will benefit from what is being sent specifically for you. This includes all major and minor points spoken. Therefore, that means you have to eat, digest whole sermon. If you do, your spirit will be renewed, your hope will be revived, your joy will be restored regardless of the happenings, your strength will be sustained, your perseverance will persist, and the rigor to right the wrong things in your life shall return. As a result, you will be further equipped to carry-out God’s purpose for you.
It happened in the text below, in Ezekiel’s time, and it can happen in every one of our lives. All you and I have to do is respond with two words to what the Lord requires of us. Those two words are, “Yes, Lord!” My friend, get things done this Saturday, but don’t do so much that you can’t defeat Satan who will try to dismiss your plans to attend worship service tomorrow. Be blessed!
“God, the Master, told the dry bones, ‘Watch this: I’m bringing the breath of life to you and you’ll come to life. I’ll attach sinews to you, put meat on your bones, cover you with skin, and breathe life into you. You’ll come alive and you’ll realize that I am God!’ I prophesied just as I’d been commanded. As I prophesied, there was a sound and, oh, rustling! The bones moved and came together, bone to bone. I kept watching. Sinews formed, then muscles on the bones, then skin stretched over them. But they had no breath in them. He said to me, ‘Prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man. Tell the breath, ‘God, the Master, says, Come from the four winds. Come, breath. Breathe on these slain bodies. Breathe life! ’So I prophesied, just as he commanded me. The breath entered them and they came alive!” (Ezekiel 37:5-10a The Message Bible)
Committed to the climb,

When I hear the word of the Lord I am filled with nutrients essential to become spiritually alive. The word is food for my spirit and is valuable for my well being. It is more fulfilling when I can attend service in person to hear the word with other believers.
