May 9
Introduction
The Israelites living in exile were feeling as if their hopes had dried up; but like an army of dry bones that rise from death, the people will stand up and return home. God promises that the kingdoms of Judah and Israel will once again be united.
Today’s Scripture Reading: Ezekiel 37:1-28
Today’s Key Verse: Ezekiel 37:4
He said, “Prophesy to the bones. Tell these dry bones to listen to the word of the LORD.”
Reflect
The valley of dry bones is depicted as a battlefield representing the land after the Babylonian invasion. What hopeful message is given in verses 1-14? About three centuries before the time of Ezekiel, the tribes of Israel divided into two kingdoms; the northern kingdom (Israel) was defeated by Assyria, and the southern kingdom (Judah) was defeated by the Babylonians. What does God promise once the two kingdoms are reunited (verses 20-28)?
Pray
Sovereign God, unite the hearts, minds, and will of all your people in loving service to you. I thank you for your life-giving breath and for the hope of new life you offer me each day. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Countries experiencing political turmoil
Tomorrow’s Reading
