“God’s desire is for us to know Him and be led by Him”
Ezekiel 36-37 by Matthew Wheelock (@matthew.wheelock.31)
SUMMARY
We're reminded of God's unwavering commitment to restoration and redemption through Ezekiel 36 and 37. The vision of the valley of dry bones serves as a striking metaphor for spiritual renewal. We learn that no matter how dire our circumstances may seem, God has the power to breathe new life into us. This message encourages us to trust in God's plan even when we feel lost or broken. It emphasizes that our position in life is divinely ordained and that God speaks to us even in our lowest moments. The key takeaway is that obedience to God leads to blessings, though these blessings may not always align with our expectations. Ultimately, we're called to know God intimately and allow Him to lead us, transforming us from spiritual death to vibrant life in Him.
