Pieces | Do You Trust God?
Life is hard, and there are circumstances that can leave us shattered and broken. Sometimes God answers our prayers exactly the way we think He should, and it’s easy to celebrate His faithfulness. But it doesn’t always turn out that way. When it doesn’t, our faith is tested and it can feel like our faith is shattered. In Ezekiel 37, Ezekiel is sitting in a valley of dry bones surrounded by what is lifeless and hopeless. God asks Ezekiel if he believes God can restore the mess and fix what has been broken. Ezekiel’s response shows a posture fully dependent on God’s plan, trusting God with the outcome whether the dry bones come back to life or not. Do you trust God with the outcome? Trusting God’s plan doesn’t mean we have to like it. But when we surrender our plan to His plan, it ignites a work of God. Give what is scarred, shattered, and broken into the right hands. God wants to rebuild our faith, take what is shattered, and put it back together.
