And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
(Ezekiel 37: 2)
That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.
When Ezekiel came to the valley of dry bones, God caused him to pass round about the bones. Ezekiel saw the details of the dry bones; God passed him through the midst of the bones, and eventually, he prophesied and the bones came back to life; God passed him through the same problem he would eventually solve.
Friend, whatever you have been through in life is indicative of the problems you have been called to solve. Your life experiences are major destiny lessons that will help you to make an impact on your generation. What you suffered in the past, and what you may be going through right now, will help you to fulfill your lifes assignment.
There are people who will be encouraged and whose faith will be strengthened when they hear the story of how you conquered your challenges. There are people who want to give up already, but if they hear your story, they will get a renewed vigour to take another shot at life.
When Jehovah is involved, your travails become destiny trainings, your experiences toughen you and become examples for teaching others, and your pains become a propelling force that pushes you and pushes others forward.
Celebrate every experience that God has allowed you to go through. Never forget the positive lessons that life has taught you. If God allowed you to learn it, He probably wants you to use it in your lifes assignment.
2 Corinthians 1 vs. 4 sums it up: Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
Pray With Me: Lord, may every lesson You bring my way empower me to fulfill my assignment, in Jesus name!
