What Can God Do?
Two big things I saw in Ezekiel was 1. God wants all people to know him and 2. God is powerful. He can do the impossible.
God shows his power over and over again throughout Ezekiel. One that stuck out to me, one that we sing about in church, is the one of God turning dry bones into flesh. I don’t think I actually knew what I was singing about before when I would sing this in church. What a cool story! I can imagine Ezekiel must’ve been feeling at least a little freaked out!
I have been thinking about these two things together since studying Ezekiel. 1. God wants all people to know him. 2. He is able to do the impossible. Like we talked about in class, I keep thinking, if God can turn dry bones into flesh, he can bring the many unbelievers I know to salvation. If God can do the impossible, he can save my friends. This gives me hope when I pray for them. This is something that God does want! He wants people to know him! He wants people to be saved! He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. (Ezekiel 33:11) Even something that seems so impossible to us, God is able to do.
