How can we apply the message of Ezekiel 37:6 in our daily lives? The Verse “I will attach tendons to you and make flesh grow upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath within you so that you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’” (Ezekiel 37:6) Key Truths in Plain Sight • God alone restores what is dead or broken. • His work is complete—tendons, flesh, skin, breath—nothing is overlooked. • Revival has a purpose: that we may personally know He is the LORD. Seeing Ourselves in the Valley • Dry bones picture moments when faith feels brittle, hopes lie scattered, or obedience has stalled. • The same God who revived Israel’s future can revive weary believers, tired families, stagnant churches, and seemingly impossible circumstances. Practical Ways to Live It Out 1. Recognize Your “Bone-Dry” Areas • Identify relationships, habits, or callings that feel lifeless. • Admit helplessness so God receives full credit for the change (2 Corinthians 12:9). 2. Invite the Full Work of God • Tendons: Ask Him to reconnect what has been torn apart—unity in marriage, fellowship, daily discipline. • Flesh and Skin: Seek gradual growth and protection; small, steady steps of obedience matter (Galatians 6:9). • Breath: Depend on the Holy Spirit for power, not mere self-effort (Romans 8:11). 3. Speak Life-Giving Words • Ezekiel prophesied to the bones; we echo Scripture over our situations. • Replace defeatist talk with promises like Psalm 138:8—“The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me.” 4. Act in Expectant Faith • Move as though revival is underway: serve again, reconcile, plan, create. • Faith without deeds is dead (James 2:17); deeds done in faith invite God’s breath. 5. Remember the Purpose—Knowing Him • Celebrate each answered prayer as a fresh encounter with His character. • Keep a written record of “breath moments” to nurture gratitude and testimony (Psalm 105:1–2). Related Scriptures to Anchor the Lesson • John 11:25—Jesus is “the resurrection and the life.” • Isaiah 57:15—He revives “the spirit of the lowly.” • Hosea 6:2—“After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.” • Romans 4:17—God “gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.” Closing Encouragement Every dry bone in a believer’s life is an opportunity for God to display His restoring power. Trust Him to attach, fill, and breathe until your story unmistakably points to the LORD who still raises the dead. |
