I preached yesterday on Ezekiel and the Valley of the Dry Bones (Chapter 37 if you want to read it again). We all have times in life that we feel dried up and perhaps even forgotten by God. Groups that we are part of may feel that way at times too. I LOVE this story in Ezekiel, it is a reminder to a people who are feeling forgotten by God and isolated in their exile that God isn’t finished yet. I needed that reminder.
The whole blogging/podcasting/writing thing was something new this year for me. There are times when it seems really hard and I wonder about the wisdom of all of this and is this where God is calling me to be currently. Sometimes I am super excited and words just flow. Other times it is a struggle. However, I do think this is something I am called to explore and I get it will take time and effort, but some mornings blank screens on the computer and no words is a real thing.
Even when there are times that writing feels like a bit of a slog through the mire, it seems within a few hours, sometimes days, I get inspired again. The Spirit of God can renew the most lifeless of things within us when we stop and let the Spirit blow through us. May the Spirit blow through us all and renew what is right and good and kind within each of us.
