Ezekiel 37:1 (New King James Version)
1 The hand of the LORD came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.
Maybe you are looking around your life and finding yourself right in the middle of a valley of trouble, valley full of dry bones! Everybody's valley is different.......
Maybe your valley experience is a troubled marriage, dissatisfaction with your job or a struggling church. If you're not in a valley today, you'll get there. We all go through valleys and we all have times in our lives when we feel like dry bones of despair and gloom surround us. When I am going through a valley, I sat down and I read this story. This is a story that will give you hope. (Ezekiel 37:1-10)
I believe God wants us to believe for a miracle, but I also believe that His purpose is in your valley experience.......just like with Ezekiel.
God had amazing plans for Ezekiel in the valley. But he first had to get Ezekiel there. According to Ezekiel 37:1, the hand of the Lord took him to the valley. He was carried there in the Spirit.
Maybe you don't think God understands what you're going through today, but He knows every step you make.
Psalm 37:23 (New Living Translation)
23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives.
Ezekiel was in the midst of a spiritual experience. The presence of the Lord came upon him and the Spirit carried him. If you are coming out of a great spiritual breakthrough or experience, don't expect to be left on the mountaintop. God plucked Ezekiel up and placed him in the valley full of bones......very dry bones.
Why??? Because that is where the miracle could happen.........
God has a purpose for it........
