Turnaround Moments - it was a about God working in hopeless situations. The Lord used Ezekiel to speak a word over those dry bones. The bones began to become attached to one another and the breath came from the four winds, entering those lifeless bodies. There was fresh movement in a lifeless situation. It was a turnaround moment for those dry bones. We need those turnaround moments in our lives, too, when God infuses us with fresh life and vigor. They come when we hear the Word of God

Walking through the valley of dry bones must have been depressing.

.

This was a hopeless situation, indeed. 

.

A question came to the prophet right in the middle of the valley of despair. 

.

Basically, it was a question about whether or not God can work in hopeless situations.
.
Ezekiel was baffled by the situation.

.

Even before he had clarity about what God would do, the Lord used him to speak a word over those dry bones.

“‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again’” - (Ezekiel 37:5).

.

.Something started to happen. 

The bones began to become attached to one another, and the breath came from the four winds, entering those lifeless bodies. 

There was fresh movement in a lifeless situation. 

It was a turnaround moment for those dry bones.
.
We need those turnaround moments in our lives, too, when God infuses us with fresh life and vigor. 

They come when we hear the Word of God.
.
Prayer Suggestion: 

.

Lord, breathe fresh life into me.

The Delight of Despair - there is something in me which must fall prostrate before God when He reveals Himself to me, and if I am ever to be raised up it must be by the hand of God. It is the awesomeness of the vision which brings you to the delight of despair. You experience this joy in hopelessness, realizing that if you are ever to be raised up it must be by the hand of God. God can do nothing for me until I recognize the limits of what is humanly possible, allowing Him to do the impossible

Jesus came to set you free - Jesus spent His life serving others. He did not come to earth to have a good time or receive praise and recognition. Rather than asking others to serve Him, He came to serve them. He gave His life “as a ransom for many.” He gave Himself that we might be free from sin and the chains that bind us - free from sin and pain, fear and worry, hopelessness and doubt. He wants you to experience the fullness of His Kingdom

Life is meaningless without the Lord sitting on the throne of our lives - the cycle of life and death is unaffected by a man's position, power, prosperity, or poverty, for all are destined to die. Man's failure is a result of man's own self-effort, striving, and human pride, because God is excluded from people's lives. When God is put in His rightful position in our heart, then we are kept by His almighty power. When wisdom, skill, prosperity, and power, are under God's sovereign influence and control, then life has meaning
