The Bone Shall Rise Again: Hope in Hopelessness



God is our hope in the most hopeless situation you can ever imagine in life.







Have you ever experience a situation that seems so hopeless, fruitless and nearly impossible to resolve?

Have you ever being in a situation where it seems there is practically no solution to your case?

Have you been in a marriage where your desires seem impossible after all your effort?

Have you been in a relationship that is kind of an endless cycle of hurt, pain and frustrations?

Have you ever imagine that it is time to give up now?

Have you ever contemplate committing suicide or harming yourself because of lack of progress in your life?

 

Well you are not alone! The people of the ancient times experience the same thing, if not worst and behold, because they put their trust and hope in the Lord, God and they were eventually rescued through the infinite love and mercy of the Almighty!

 

God is speaking to you today, through the prophet Ezekiel, first by asking you saying, “Son of man, can these bones come to life?” Well like the prophet Ezekiel in all honesty we cannot!

However, since nothing is impossible for the Lord our GOD to do, the almighty can of course make the bones to rise again!

 

Consequently, no matter what circumstances you may be facing; whether it is lack of the fruits of the womb, bad relationship, faithlessness due to the hardship and betrayals you have experienced in life, maybe it may be lack of employment or you are underemployed, maybe you are a refugee with no hope of having a home again, maybe you are grieving a loved one and you are wondering how can life be so unfair! It may be that you are concern about your immigration status in a foreign land, you might have fallen into the wrong hands and all your possessions have been taken from you. As a matter of fact, you are in a hopeless situation and there seems to be no future for you or your loved ones.

 

Well, your feelings are not synonymous to that of your God! Unlike our emotions that dangles like the pendulum clock and subject to the tides of the events we go through, the way God feel about us is the same, that of a loving and compassionate Father, always anxiously waiting for us to turn to him!

 

Today, we must challenge ourselves and accept the inevitable truth of a loving God that fundamentally know and care for us so much that he was willing to sacrifice his Only Begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ in order for humanity to gain permanent reconciliation and win back the path to eternal life.

 

Please do not give up, no matter how tough the situation you may be going through right now.

The “Bones Shall Rise Again” if only you believe that God understand your situation and will make a way where none seems to exist.

Instead, let us give thanks to the Lord; his love is everlasting.


Prayer



Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you so much for always hearing our prayers.

Today we come before you and with gratitude in our hearts once more lay down our challenges in life.

Right now some of us feel like “we can’t breathe” because of the innumerable difficulties we are facing; from within our homes, and to the outside world and we are about to give up.

Now you have spoken, and your words are truth, because you are the unchangeable God!

Grant us your infinite grace and wisdom and make us worthy of your strength and power, patience and perseverance, so that in joyful hope, we will wait patiently for your promised to come to pass!

Thank you O Lord, our GOD for hearing our petitions brought before your throne of grace and through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son, who lives in unity with You and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen!
