Knowing
God asked Ezekiel a tough question.
Ezekiel could have easily answered “No, these dry bones can’t live”.
Or if he wanted to be more strategic and not let on he lacked faith, he could have answered, “I don’t know, Lord.”
Ezekiel may or may not have had a clear answer in his mind, but he knew for sure who had the answer to the tough question.
God Himself!
“O Lord God, You know.”
What a wonderful demonstration of trust and faith.
God answered with direction for Ezekiel to prophesy to those bones.
Ezekiel did so without question.
He not only knew that the Lord had the answer; he knew that the Lord’s answer could be trusted even if it looked questionable in the natural?
Are there tough questions to be answered in your life right now?
Do you not know how to answer?
Are you ready to say like Ezekiel, “O Lord God, You know.”
Followed by the willingness to take the direction that comes next?
Because Ezekiel trusted God for the answer and followed the directions given, a whole army of dry bones were raised up.
Oh that, “O Lord God, You know”, would be our refrain.
