Can These Dry Bones Live?

The hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones. He caused me to pass among them round about, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley; and lo, they were very dry. He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "O Lord GOD, You know." Again He said to me, "Prophesy over these bones and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.' Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones, 'Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life.'" Ezekiel 37:1-5 

Resurrection! Those dried, dusty bones were called back to life. Ezekiel was filled once again with the Holy Spirit…and told to prophesy to those bones that they would come back to life. They will be resurrected by the Holy Spirit from the battlefield of dried bones. They were once hopeless and helpless. That this is to happen at the Second Coming of Jesus is so exciting! Bones rising up rattling—instantly covered by flesh and skin and then the whole army of soldiers breathing air again. What a miracle that will be! Do you believe in resurrection? Do you believe in the Second Coming of Christ? It will happen as He said. Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will. Matthew 24:42-44. 

Jesus told us to be ready. Are you ready? Ready or not…here He comes!  

Prayer ~ Holy Spirit, help me, my family, friends and neighbors be ready for Jesus’ return. Bring to our mind the things we need to remember and know to “be ready”.
