Ez 37: 5 Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again!
God wants to breath new life into your situation.
Ez 37 14 I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live again
God is in the business of restoration.
I remember long ago when I was a student at school and was given a caterpillar in a jar. We where assigned to take care of the caterpillar and make sure there was plenty of leaves for them to eat. Soon, the caterpillars would make a cocoon and look dead. My classmates and I, were worried that we did something wrong to make the caterpillar look dead. But sure enough one by one the cocoons would open up and out came the beautiful butterfly they transformed into. My cocoon didn't open up as quickly as some of my classmates did. So I became worried and nervous that I did something wrong, or that my caterpillar was dead. My teacher however was constantly assuring me that I will have a butterfly soon, and to just wait and let nature take its course. Before long, my cocoon opened up and a beautiful butterfly came out. This makes me think of God and how He is at work in the middle of what looks dead. He has the power to bring life from dead places.
Remember that God is constantly watching you to bring resurrecting life into your dead places. Look at delays in life as His love in action, just waiting for the right time to truly show you how much He loves you.
