life from death...

Ezekiel 37:10 So I prophesied, just as he commanded me. The breath entered them and they came alive! They stood up on their feet, a huge army.
11 Then God said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Listen to what they're saying: 'Our bones are dried up, our hope is gone, there's nothing left of us.'
12-14 "Therefore, prophesy. Tell them, 'God, the Master, says: I'll dig up your graves and bring you out alive—O my people! Then I'll take you straight to the land of Israel. When I dig up graves and bring you out as my people, you'll realize that I am God. I'll breathe my life into you and you'll live. Then I'll lead you straight back to your land and you'll realize that I am God. I've said it and I'll do it. God's Decree.'"


I believe God wants to breathe life back into us... sometimes the weight of the world gets so heavy.. things don't go the way we think they should... people leave us when we have done no wrong... we don't understand why things happen when our thought is to just do right by God... and the weight of feeling unloved and unloveable gets too heavy... and we are dead... whether it be spiritual death or emotional death... we just feel dead...
throughout the bible you hear God repeat the phrase "then my people will know I am God and give me honor and give me praise"... what will it take for us to recognize that He is God?? we serve a living God... yet we give him less time than any man we know... we can give praise to a dead man... or to a man of power in human terms... but what does it take for God to truly get our praise?? what does it take for us to recognize the power that the blood shed by Christ gives us? what does God have to do for us to truly SEE Him as the Living God??
give God your praise... give Him your time... sit in His presence... sit under His word... lay on your face before Him give him the recognition that He truly deserves... and He will fulfill any promise He has spoken into your spirit (operative words being HE SPOKE..) He is God enough... He is God more than enough... He is all there is.... He is Life evermore...
