Study
Read Ezekiel 37:1-14
What is the significance of the imagery in Ezekiel’s vision of the valley of dry bones? How does this imagery relate to the concept of spiritual revival?
In verse 3, God asks Ezekiel if these bones can live. What does Ezekiel’s response reveal about his faith and his relationship with God?
What’s the difference between knowing that God can do anything and believing it?
In verse 11, God tells Ezekiel that the bones represent the whole house of Israel. What does this teach us about God’s faithfulness to his people, even in times of spiritual decay and disobedience?
Based on verses 13 and 14, what is God’s purpose in restoring life to the whole house of Israel?
How can we apply the lessons found here in Ezekiel 37 to our own lives and communities? What steps can we take to pursue spiritual revival and renewal?
