Where God Breathes, Life Follows
God gave the prophet Ezekiel a vision that must have been both strange and stunning: a valley full of dry bones. Lifeless. Scattered. Forgotten. It was a symbol of Israel’s spiritual and national state—cut off, broken, and hopeless.
But then God speaks: “I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life” (Ezekiel 37:5 NIV). It’s a promise not just of revival, but of complete restoration.
In Hebrew, the word for breath is ruach—a word that also means spirit or wind. God was saying, “I will fill what is dead with My Spirit and bring it back to life.”
This wasn’t just a promise for Israel—it’s a glimpse into what God can do in any soul that feels dry, discouraged, or distant. Maybe you’ve been through a long season of spiritual weariness. Maybe you feel like the life has been drained out of your faith. But the God who breathes life into dry bones is still breathing today.
We serve a God who brings dead things back to life. Whether it’s a nation, a community, a heart, or even His Son after His death on the cross, He restores what’s been lost, renews what’s been broken, and revives what feels beyond hope.
If your soul feels empty, ask Him to breathe His Spirit into you again. Because where God breathes, life follows.
“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, ...
Fulfillment of God’s Promises
Hundreds of years before Jesus, the people of God were in trouble.
They were stuck in life, unable to help themselves, and perhaps beginning to doubt that God would save them. Have you ever felt the same way? If so, you might relate to the original audience of this verse—the exiles in Babylon.
The Babylonians conquered God's people and land, sending them hundreds of miles away. Maybe they thought that God had abandoned them, or that He couldn’t hear their cries. But God is always close—especially when His people call on His name.
Isaiah let his people know that God would provide a way out of Babylonian captivity. And God kept His promise, allowing His people to return home.
Generations later, many of God’s people saw themselves as being in a new exile. They were home, but all was not well. So they remembered this verse and its promise—that no matter how dark or desperate our situation might be, God is able to provide a path out of brokenness, ...
