Text for the Day -- Ezekiel 37:1, 7-10, 14 ---------- The hand of the LORD came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.
So I prophesied as I had been commanded; and as I prophesied, suddenly there was a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. I looked, and there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them; but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, mortal, and say to the breath.Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live." I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood on their feet, a vast multitude.
"I will put my spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken and will act, says the LORD."
Devotional ---------- The Holy Spirit is the agent of renewal and new life. The Spirit of God connects us to God and one another, and keeps us renewed in the faith. When burnout, despair or frustration dampens our faith, and erodes our relationship with God, the Holy Spirit refreshes. When sin darkens our relationship with God and others, the Holy Spirit reminds us of God's mercy and love. Embrace the new life the Holy Spirit offers.
Prayer ------- Renew and empower new life in me, Holy Spirit. Amen
