#soap # Ezekiel 37 ## Title: The Key to Transformation ## Scripture: (Ezekiel 37:3) He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said to him, “Sovereign Lord, you know.” (NET) ## Observation: Today’s chapter is one of the most famous in the entire Bible. It seems like it could easily work in a modern movie. There are bones coming together, muscle growing over bones, and breath coming into dead corpses. The result is a mighty army. God is showing how He is going to bring the nation of Israel back together. It will be a glorious miracle that will look like bones coming to life. The key to all of this beginning is the statement of Ezekiel. When asked if this was possible, he put it in the hands of the Lord. He said, “Sovereign Lord, you know” (37:3). In other words, if it can be done, only God can do it. The first step in experiencing transformation is knowing who can do it. When we turn our lives over to the Lord, He can do amazing things. Never be afraid to turn your life over to Him. ## Application: Give the Lord “permission” to transform any area of your life. Watch what starts to happen. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for bringing dead things to life.
