Yesterday at growth group, we coincidently discussed this same story, and a second important concept from it was brought to my attention. Although God could have simply commanded the bones to become as flesh, then flesh to be filled with life, He did not. He commanded Ezekiel to prophesy it. In man’s obedience to God, something miraculous happened. God did not require Ezekiel in order to bring death to life, but He chose to use him.
And so the Spirit speaks to me, bringing these thoughts together, and formulating questions I must continuously ask myself:
-Who is God commanding me to prophesy to; what dry bones will He call to be as flesh right before me?
-Will I hear His voice?
-Will I obey?
-Will I see beyond my own eyes and through those of the Spirit to recognize the miracles of God’s hand?
-And even if I’m unable to see fruition, will I continue to respond in obedience?
