All Creation Waits, Day 11 – The Word to the Bones
Week 2 – 2nd Sunday of Advent – Waiting in Hope (Ezekiel 37)
Ezekiel 37:4
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.”
Thoughts
Ezekiel speaks God’s Word to that which cannot hear, and yet, the bones begin to rattle. Creation itself listens when God’s Word is spoken. Advent reminds us that God’s Word still calls life out of silence, still speaks into emptiness. Our calling is to keep proclaiming that Word, even when it seems impossible, because God’s speech has power to call forth that which we cannot yet see.
Question
Where might God be inviting you to speak life, even when it seems no one is listening?
Prayer
Lord, open my ears to Your Word. Let Your breath fill me with new hope today …
