Fetch!

SCRIPTURE: Ezekiel 37:19 say to them, Thus says the Lord God: I am about to take the stick of Joseph (which is in the hand of Ephraim) and the tribes of Israel associated with it; and I will put the stick of Judah upon it, and make them one stick, in order that they may be one in my hand.

OBSERVATION: A branch can be grafted in to a plant while there is still life in it. But a stick, which is lifeless, being joined together with another stick is miraculous and supernatural. This passage also reveals God's desire and Hi s power to restore broken relationships. He wants to mend those who are separated, and He can do it.

APPLICATION: Even when it seems hopeless, like a valley of dry bones or a broken, lifeless stick, look to God to do the miraculous.
  • Be one who speaks life. (Bones are never too dry.)
  • Be one who speaks unity. (Sticks are never too broken.)
  • Be one who speaks for God. (Most important of all.)
And then -- Fetch! Retrieve those who are broken and join them in. Go after them.


PRAYER: God, give me a prophetic ability to speak life into dry situations and unity into brokenness. Accomplish Your supernatural will. Amen.
