He set me down in the midst of the valley; it was full of bones . . . Again he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, O dry
bones, hear the word of the Lord . . . So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone . . . Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, son of man, and say to the spirit, Thus says the
Lord God: Come from the four winds, O spirit, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live . . . and the spirit came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great host.” Ezekiel 37:1-10. St. Augustine said, “God is more eager to bestow His blessings upon us
than we are to receive them.”
Let us pray, Loving Father, You desire that we may be alive and standing firm. Take away from us all that causes weakness and death from our past, and fill us with new life, a life that honours and glorifies You each day. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
