Our verse for today comes from Ezekiel 37:3.
“He asked me, ‘Son of man, can these bones live?’”
A strange classroom, wouldn’t you say? God brings Ezekiel to a valley littered with bones. Not just dead, but long dead. Dry. Scattered. Forgotten.
And then the question: “Can these bones live?”
God wasn’t looking for a medical opinion. He wasn’t asking for Ezekiel’s logic. He was opening the door of hope. What God asked was impossible—but God was inviting him to believe the impossible.
That’s still how God works. He steps into our valleys. Our broken marriages. Our wandering children. Our ruined plans. He sees the places we’ve written off, and He asks, *“Can life come from here?”*
The right answer isn’t, “I don’t see how.” It’s “You know, Lord.” Because He does. He always has.
When God breathes, dead things rise. When His Spirit moves, graves become gardens.
So, what in your life feels too far gone? Too broken? Too dry?
Hear God’s question. And answer with trust.
“Yes, Lord. These bones can live.”
As Holocaust survivor, Corrie ten Boom said, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”
