The Mighty Skeleton

Monday, August 12, 2019

The prophet Ezekiel saw a vision of a valley of dry bones. In the vision, the Wind or Spirit came upon the bones and the bones came together to form an army. The army represents the nation of Israel. Notice something, it all starts with just two ingredients, bones and the Spirit. Bones by themselves, are not known for being strong. Even if you assemble them into skeletons, you still end up with something that has no strength. And yet these bones become something mighty, a mighty army for God. It doesn't matter how weak you are in righteousness or self-control. What matters is the Spirit. It doesn't matter how weak you are in the flesh or in your own strength. The key is don't go by your own strength - go by the Spirit. The more you move by the Spirit and not by the flesh - the more powerful you'll become in the Lord. It was the Spirit that made Samson strong. And it's the Spirit that will make you mighty - For in the power of the Spirit, even skeletons become mighty.
