GOD WORKING IN THE VALLEY OF HOPELESSNESS
After a hard day from work, i decided to take my bible the word of God and read it as i usually do, that previous morning i was very sad about so many things that happen in the world, the sufferings and wars and struggles that we as human beings go through and i kept asking myself if God in His mercy seat and throne is going to remember His people. As i was going through my bible filled with so much sadness, God brought me to a very strong and mighty word, i come to think and i know that God spoke to me there and then. He took me to Ezekiel 37:1-14 where God took Ezekiel to a place full of bones that have no life, probably a place that to me and you would look all lost and ended without hope, But that encourages me because God doesn't see things the way we do, He is God supreme over all, the Alpha and Omega. through the verse God goes on to ask Ezekiel if the bones can come back to life verse 3: ''Mortal man, can these bones come back to life?'' Ezekiel a human being like you and i out of human weakness and limitations doesnt know but only God Knows, God orders Him to prophecy to the bones and immediately they change from non-meaty skeletons to meaty as i would call it. Then the Lord orders Ezekiel to prophecy to the bones and they come back to life. In verse 11-14 God says that the people of israel are like the dried bones, they said they are dried up, with no hope, lost and without a future to look forward to. But He goes on to say that He the mighty Lord will remove them from their graves and bring them back to life, He will breath to them again, give them life and a land of their own. This was an encouragement to me, Because many times we go through situations and we feel unworthy and broken, destroyed and without anything to look forward to, But here God tells us that He is and will change everything around Because He is God, it doesnt matter the kind of shame you and i have had to go through, what names we have been given by people, whether we have lost so more than enough be it our spouses, jobs, children, wealth and we are left discouraged and dead. God is able to turn that around, He Has the last word, He will restore and break the life out of us once again, I pray that this might be an encouragement to someone today who feels its over, its never over till God says so, He Has to turn everything around He Has to, He wants to, He needs to Because He Has promised to, I refuse to die in shame, to give up, to let my situations led me to death. He spoke to the dried bones and they lived,why not you and me. He can just trust in Him and like me make a decision to trust in His word Completely.
