Every time we preach to the people of this world, we must see ourselves as Ezekiel walking in the valley of dry bones.24 If we are asked, “Can these bones live?” we must defer to the sovereignty and strength of God alone. The might that is required for the resurrection that is needed is beyond human power, and it is not effected by the will of man. The wind blows where it wishes, and we hear the sound of it, but God alone knows where it comes from or where it is going.25
