TODAY'S FOOD FOR THE SOUL Ezekiel 37:1-10 TODAY'S RHEMA Ezekiel 37:10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.
Why nothing is working in my life? Nick thought in his heart. He had just returned from his job as an online driver. His body was all sore because he was on the road a day full. But his wife didn't welcome him well instead nagged him constantly about money and their children's behavior. When he advised them, they even said that they hoped to have a richer father. Nick was sad and it looked like everyone disrespected him as the head of the family. He felt that his life was meaningless. In fact, he used to have a cake shop that was quite successful. However, because of the way he managed the shop so poorly, many baking ingredients disappeared and drove the shop went bankrupt and since then Nick worked the odd jobs. Year after year passed, his dream as a cake entrepreneur died down. He didn't even dare to dream anymore. In fact, he felt it was impossible for God to be able to pull him out of the depths of his downturn.
How many of us feel the same way? The star of your dreams hasn't been bright for a long time. The future looks so bleak. Your broken spirit dries your bones. You live, but not alive. We forget, that for God nothing is impossible. See Ezekiel, he believed that God was able to revive a very dry pile of bones. That is why he dared to prophesy and commanded the breath of life to blow into the bones. So that the bones crunched, moved, and came back to life. Even rose to a very large army.
