Ezekiel 37:1-10
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.
2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.
3 He asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I said, "O Sovereign LORD, you alone know."
4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!
5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.
6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.'"
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live.'"
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet--a vast army.

When Israel sinned against God, they were all scattered and taken captive by enemies, the nation itself came to extinct. Israel was like the dried, useless bones scattered all over the valley here. Bringing those bones back into life was surely a difficult puzzle for anybody.

When a man’s heart is hardened by sin, the same situation persists. With no hope and expectations, no peace and happiness, no purpose and surety, estranged, wallowing in sin, hard-hearted man. Who can save such a wreck?

Praise be to God, He make the impossibles possible. Through the power of His Word and Holy Spirit, He is able to bring those dead bones back into life, and make an entire army out of such dried lifeless bunch of bones.

A man become alive spiritually by listening to the scriptures and obey it with sincere faith. No matter how hard dried he is, or his situations are, God can make him resurrect. He can bring him back to life.

Prayer idea

What are those spiritual things which you think are ‘impossible’ or ‘extremely difficult’ in your life. Pray for such things to become possible.
