Ezekiel prophesied. We witness to dead people about Jesus. Things begin to happen. It is obviously not us, but the power of God causing a stirring within dead bones. Before the word of God spoken to them through us, they lived disjointed lives. Now the Spirit of God moves within them, rearranging their priorities, reconnecting that which the devil, the world, and their own sin have torn apart in their lives. Things are shaken up, but this time for their good.

Perhaps this describes your own life as well? Are you even this very moment disjointed, pulled apart by all the forces and circumstances in your life? Then you need to hear the Word of God in a new, life giving way as well. Hear the Word of God with a right spirit -- and hear a rattling within your soul as God begins to reconnect all that has been torn apart in your life and put you back together, "bone to bone" (Ezek. 37:7).

Scripture for today: Ezekiel 37:1-7
Thought for today: I cannot help others receive the life-giving power of God until I experience it myself.
Prayer for today: Lord, restore life to me in all the places I have let it die.
