Valley of Dry Bones

There once was a valley, silent, vast, lifeless. Bones everywhere. Not a breath, not a heartbeat. Just the echo of what used to be. Then God asked a question that cut through the silence,

“Son of man, can these bones live?” (Ezekiel 37:3)

Ezekiel must have looked around, at the skulls, the dust, the hopelessness, and whispered,
“Lord, only You know.”

Then God said something incredible:
“Prophesy to these bones.”
Speak My Word over what looks dead. Declare life over what seems gone.

And as he spoke, the ground began to shake. Bones rattled and found each other. Flesh grew, breath returned, and an army rose where death once ruled.

That’s what happens when the Word of God meets a dead life.

Many people today are walking valleys, alive but empty. They smile on the outside but are lifeless inside. Their dreams are dry, their hearts cold, their faith gone. But when the Word of God hits those bones, things shift. Chains break. Hearts beat again. Hope rises.

The Word revives. The Word restores. The Word resurrects.

But here’s the suspense, if Ezekiel had stayed silent, the bones would’ve stayed bones. And that’s why believers can’t keep quiet.

The world doesn’t just need motivation, it needs resurrection. Your co-worker, your friend, your neighbor, they might be smiling, but inside, they’re in the valley. And God has put His Word in your mouth to speak life.

Romans 10:14 asks, “How can they believe if they have not heard?”

You might not be a preacher, but your words, your testimony, your prayer, can awaken someone’s soul. You carry the same breath that turned dry bones into warriors.

So speak life. Share Christ. Don’t whisper when heaven has given you a voice.

And if you feel like you are in that valley, cold, tired, and empty, hear this: God is not done with you. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead can raise you too.

Right now, He’s saying, “Live again.”
Your bones can breathe.
Your faith can rise.
Your heart can burn again.

The Word of God is still shaking graves. Don’t stay in the valley, step into the breath of God.
