All Creation Waits, Day 10 – Can These Bones Live?
Week 2 – 2nd Sunday of Advent – Waiting in Hope (Ezekiel 37)
Ezekiel 37:3
3 He said to me, “Mortal, can these bones live?” I answered, “O Lord God, you know.”
Thoughts
God’s question to Ezekiel is also the question of Advent. Can life come from what looks dead? Can hope be born from what feels lost? Ezekiel doesn’t try to answer – he leaves it to God. Faith doesn’t deny despair; it looks it in the eye and says, “You know, Lord.” Waiting in hope means trusting that even in silence, God is at work.
Question
What is one place in your life where you can echo Ezekiel’s humble trust: “Lord, you know”?
Prayer
Spirit of God, speak life over my weary bones. Renew my strength as I wait for You …
