Praises be to God for seeing another day. This year have
kept me and my family on our needs. We have learned the importance of trusting
God for your deliverance and healing. Just recently our nephew was murdered as
he sat in his truck. The questioned asked, why someone would murder a person
that was a handicap. It was just ten years ago when the same nephew was in a
terrible accident and lost one of his leg.
Some of the people of this generation has gotten away from
Christianity. There is no respect or reverence for the church. Our thinking is
not in balance, it is out of balance. We must not forget that God has always
existed, God is unique and merciful and full of love for all. We can reap his
blessings when we are obedient to His Word.
The Prophet Ezekiel is focuses on reverence for God.
Ezekiel states, “the hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the
spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full
of bones”(Ezek 37:1). The bones needs to be restored to what is pleasing the
Lord. As you read the passage in Ezekiel 37, it speaks about dry bones in the
valley, and it asked the question, will these bones live again or can these
bones live again?
This chapter makes one think of the way people live today
including some Christians. We go to church but we are like those dry bones. We
have no substance in us that make things seem that we are without hope, when we should look like
we do have hope in Christ Jesus. All of our hope is gone, we can live again, if
we would turn from our evil ways or our ungodly actions. John tells us, “if we
could confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness”(1 John 1:9KJV).
Then, I ask myself what has happen to this generation. They have forgotten about the biblical
principles of holiness. One young lady remarked, shacking is not in the
Bible. I let her know that fornication
and adultery was, but it was her choice, where will you spend eternity? That
gave her something to think about. I’m not putting anyone down, but just ask
yourself, where do you want to spend eternity? Are you in the valley with the
dry bones or what?- Evangelist Annie Eskridge, areskridge6840@att.net.
