A Strong and Living Framework

UV 4134/10000 A Strong and Living Framework Again He said to me, “ Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, “O Lord God, You know.” Ezekiel 37 v 3 Dry bones are decayed or dead bones, the bones or skeleton of a dead person. Without faith in God, without hope in life, we resemble dead bones. Only God has complete knowledge of the roadmap, the plan, the blueprint of life for everyone in this world. Hence, we need to trust in Him. His hand needs to be upon us. His hand of protection, provision, care, guidance, wisdom, power is upon His own, those who love and trust Him, those who hear His word and believe it. When we believe and obey the word of the Lord, His breath or the Holy Spirit enters us and revives us. We are ready to soar like an eagle, roar like a lion regardless of whether His hand has placed us on the mountain top with beautiful views all round or in the valley of bones, full of skeletons. Jesus, called the Son of man though He is the Son of God holds us together like the sinews, muscles, nerves, joints of the body. He is our Anchor and strong Fulcrum. He lightens our load or yoke by increasing our strength, power to bear it. The power He releases into our lives is the same power that brought Him from death back to life. He gives us the grace or power and ability to overcome the circumstances of our lives. He brings us out of our “graves”, implying in areas where we have zero hope or dead wishes, He brings it out to live again. He proves time and time again that He is the Doer of the Impossible. Bones are also a metaphor for strong foundations. Like the foundations of a building, the bones are hidden deep inside. The Lord strengthens our spiritual and moral foundations, the deep and inner being. Hope and joy springs out of the deep and inner being to overflow over ground where it is visible and useful to quench the thirst of people. We become living, strong, connected like a whole and wholesome body. We realize that though the enemy is against us, the Lord wants to give us hope and a future and beyond that, life eternal.
