Skeletons have never been a good sign of anything! They represent something that once was but is no more. Not many people like skeletons, yet they show up in some form or fashion eventually if not dealt with. Some talk about skeletons in a closet. “Don’t open that door and let it out!” While some are used to scare people, others are used to medically inform and educate. In the Bible, God was asking a prophet about bones in a valley. This was a time God wanted to know, in the midst of so much death, can life still happen in dead things? Most times when this passage is shared, it says the bones are dead. It is a grave so I can see why it was interpreted that way. Scripture says they were dry bones.
Are you living in a season of your life where everything around to seems dried up? Are you not seeing a lot of greenery and flowers, birds singing, sunshine? This doesn’t mean everything is dead or over. God is saying, “Pray, speak over this dry season and I will breathe breath back into your life!” We must speak it by faith, believing God can do anything! He asked the prophet, “Do you believe?” The prophet said, “You are God and YOU Know!!” Teamwork made the dream work again. All the body parts reconnected, life was restored and God was glorified. A mighty army was raised up again for Kingdom purposes.
The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, and caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. Again, he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus, saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. (Ezekiel 37:1-5)
