Ezekiel 37:1-14
“What if our birthright is not about place at all, but about right relationship with whatever our surroundings are, right relationship with death itself, and right relationship with a mysterious God who we barely know?
What if God’s instrument of sovereignty is love, not might–love that liberates and breathes and finds ways for dead bones to dance into a new day–seasoned and wise, humble and hopeful, and finally trusting in a God who doesn’t promise us we will rule the world, but who reminds us that we take our place among all the creatures of this world, not as superior, but as one with the gift of self-reflection, God reminds us that were made to heal, that we can find our place in the world in ways that do not bring devastation and death.”
