Is God shaking you up?

“The Lord…set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones…and…they were very dry.” Ezekiel 37:1-2

God told Ezekiel to declare His word to a valley full of bones, and they became a mighty army. These bones were dead, dry, and in disarray. That may describe where you are today. Your hopes are dead, your soul is dry, your life in disarray. What’s the answer? (1) You need God to shake things up in your life. “There was a…shaking, and the bones came together” (v. 7). If it feels like things are being shaken up in your personal life, your home life, and your work life, rejoice; it means God has great plans for you. (2) You need God to speak to you through His Word. “O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord” (v. 4). God’s Word turned this bunch of bones into a mighty army that could conquer, win, and fulfill His purposes. And God’s Word will do the same for you. Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). So get into God’s Word, and get God’s Word into you. (3) You need God to breathe His Holy Spirit on you. “O breath, [of God]…breathe upon these…that they may live…and they…stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army” (Ezekiel 37:9-10). When you’re empowered by His Spirit, you will exceed your own expectations and do great things for God. Ezekiel couldn’t see the potential in those bones until God showed it to him. So no matter what others say, God sees potential in you, and that’s why He is shaking you up.
