Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

September 9



Ezekiel 37-39
The prophecy of the valley of dry bones has captivated the imagination for centuries.  It must have been quite a sight for Ezekiel!  When the rattling began, and the bones started connecting in their proper order, to witness the sinew and tendons growing upon the bones, the reformation of the bodies, and then the breath of life coming back into them, Ezekiel must have simply been in awe.  The Lord will do what the Lord will do, nothing stands in His way!  He is able to accomplish any task He wills.  I cannot stomach the thought of cremation, and I’ve had people ask me if it’s because of my bodily resurrection.  My answer is always in the negative.  Just as God brought the valley of dry bones back to life, He can bring the ashes back together if He so chooses.  My parents were both cremated, and I have no doubt that they will be resurrected, at the proper time, through the power of the Lord!
