Ezekiel 37:1-14
Dry Bones Live Again

Some time later, I felt the Lord's power take control of me, and his
Spirit carried me to a valley full of bones. The Lord showed me all
around, and everywhere I looked I saw bones that were dried out. He
said, "Ezekiel, son of man, can these bones come back to life?" I
replied, "Lord God, only you can answer that." He then told me to say:
Dry bones, listen to what the Lord is saying to you, "I, the Lord
God, will put breath in you, and once again you will live. I will
wrap you with muscles and skin and breathe life into you. Then you
will know that I am the Lord." I did what the Lord said, but before I
finished speaking, I heard a rattling noise. The bones were coming
together! I saw muscles and skin cover the bones, but they had no
life in them. The Lord said: Ezekiel, now say to the wind, "The Lord
God commands you to blow from every direction and to breathe life into
these dead bodies, so they can live again." As soon as I said this,
the wind blew among the bodies, and they came back to life! They all
stood up, and there were enough to make a large army. The Lord said:
Ezekiel, the people of Israel are like dead bones. They complain that
they are dried up and that they have no hope for the future. So tell
them, "I, the Lord God, promise to open your graves and set you free.
I will bring you back to Israel, and when that happens, you will
realize that I am the Lord. My Spirit will give you breath, and you
will live again. I will bring you home, and you will know that I have
kept my promise. I, the Lord, have spoken."

God bless you.

Luke 17:20-37.

Luke 17.20-37 God's Kingdom Some Pharisees asked Jesus when God's kingdom would come. He answered, "God's kingdom isn't something you can see. There is no use saying, 'Look! Here it is' or 'Look! There it is.' God's kingdom is here with you." Jesus said to his disciples: The time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not. When people say to you, "Look there," or "Look here," don't go looking for him. The day of the Son of Man will be like lightning flashing across the sky. But first he must suffer terribly and be rejected by the people of today. When the Son of Man comes, things will be just as they were when Noah lived. People were eating, drinking, and getting married right up to the day when Noah went into the big boat. Then the flood came and drowned everyone on earth. When Lot lived, people were also eating and drinking. They were buying, s

Psalm 85 (Good News Translation)   1LORD, you have been merciful to your land; you have made Israel prosperous again. 2You have forgiven your people's sins and pardoned all their wrongs. 3You stopped being angry with them and held back your furious rage. 4Bring us back, O God our savior, and stop being displeased with us! 5Will you be angry with us forever? Will your anger never cease? 6Make us strong again, and we, your people, will praise you. 7Show us your constant love, O LORD, and give us your saving help. 8I am listening to what the LORD God is saying; he promises peace to us, his own people, if we do not go back to our foolish ways. 9Surely he is ready to save those who honor him, and his saving presence will remain in our land. 10Love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will embrace. 11Human loyalty will reach up from the earth, and God's righteousness will look down from heaven. 12The LORD will make us prosperous, and our land will produce rich harv
