May 26: The "Plan B" of the Dry Bones

May 26: The "Plan B" of the Dry Bones

Scripture: "And He said to me, 'Son of man, can these bones live?'... So I prophesied as I was commanded... and breath came into them, and they lived." — Ezekiel 37:3, 10
The "Valley of Dry Bones" is the ultimate "Plan B" for a "lost cause." Israel’s "Plan A" was "dead and dried up." There was "no hope." But the "Truth of the Resurrection Power" is that God can "breathe Life" into "Dry Bones." His "Plan B" is to "revive the dead" and "restore the hopeless."

"Prophesying to the Wind" (the Spirit) is the "key." We must "speak the Word of God" over our "dead situations." The "Spirit" is the "Breath of Life" that "animates" the "Truth." When we "align our words" with "His Word," "Life begins to stir." This is the "Plan B" of "Spiritual Revivification."

"Revival" is also a "Health Reality." When our "spirits are revived," our "bodies respond." The "Breath of Life" brings "energy" and "purpose." This is the "Love of God" in "Vitalizing Action"—making us "stand up" as an "exceedingly great army."

What "dead situation" (a dream, a relationship, a ministry) are you "facing" today? Don't "give up." "Prophesy to the bones." Speak the "Promises of God" over the "dry places." Trust that the "Breath of the Spirit" is "ready to blow." Your "Dry Bones" can "Live."

Reflection Questions:
What "dead bones" am I "staring at" in my life right now?
Am I "speaking the Word of God" or "my own discouragement" over them?
How can I "invite the Breath of the Spirit" into my "situation" today?
