Grooves are good; Ruts are bad.
Israel’s story
Ezekial 37:1-6 New International Version (NIV)
The Valley of Dry Bones
The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the
Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley;
it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them,
and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley,
bones that were very dry.
He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.”
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them,
‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!
This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones:
I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.
I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you
and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life.
Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
Ezekial 37:9-10 (NIV)
Then he said to me,
“Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it,
‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain,
that they may live.’”
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them;
they came to life and stood up on their feet — a vast army.
