“I will put my Spirit in you and you will live. . . . Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken. . . .”
— Ezekiel 37:14

Thought Of The Day...
Ezekiel’s prophecy about dry bones being restored to life is a startling picture of hope in the darkest of circumstances. When God speaks life into what is dead, resurrection happens.

Jesus had told the Sardis church, “You are dead.” But he didn’t stop there. He called them to “Wake up!” His power could strengthen what life remained in them, giving them hope.

Jesus called them to remember what they had received and heard. Memory itself is a gift from God to cherish. May the church never lose its memory of God’s great gifts.

Then “hold . . . fast” to what you were given, he said. In other words, obey and be on guard and on high alert. Watch, and watch out!

And “repent.” Confession is good and necessary for the soul. Repentance and the forgiveness that follows are so freeing to our souls. In repentance we can admit who we are before God. And God mercifully forgives because he loves us and wants us to live with him.

The Lord wants us all to wake up and be fully alive, flourishing as he created us to be, and sharing his goodness with others everywhere in this broken world.

Prayer...
Heavenly Father, I come to you with a heavy heart, confessing my sins and shortcomings. I have not loved you with my whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. I have been distracted by the cares and desires of this world and have neglected my relationship with you.

Father, I know that I am in desperate need of your forgiveness and mercy. I ask for your grace to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Help me to remember the great sacrifice made by Jesus, your Son, for my sins. May his death and resurrection continually remind me of your unconditional love and grace.

Fill me with your Holy Spirit and renew my life. I surrender my heart, mind, and strength to you, Lord. Use me for your glory and may I be a vessel of your love and grace to those around me.

Thank you for the promise in Ezekiel 37:14 that you will put your Spirit within me and bring me back to life. I cling to this promise and trust in your faithfulness.

May I always seek to love you with my whole being, and may my life be a reflection of your love and grace. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
