Dry Bones

There are times in life when we simply run dry. We have given all we have to give or someone has taken all we had to start with - in either case, we're done. 

Maybe it is a job that has sucked you dry. Perhaps it is a spouse for which you have nothing left to give. It could be your whole crazy family that has just wrung you out of your last bit of care.  Whatever or whoever, you're not even running on empty, you've rolled to a stop. 

What does one do at this point?  How do we draw up refreshing water when there is nothing left to prime the pump?  What do we do if the well's gone dry?  What if we've reached down deep and nothing is there?  

We could give up, assured we gave it all we had. Or, we could look to another Source to refresh our marriage, our job, our family dynamic - our very soul. 

When you've exhausted every ounce of strength, every drop of emotion and you can't dig deep enough to find a molecue of care, there is more. When you have become as empty as a valley of dry bones. "This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life" (Ezekiel 37:5).

When you've gone as far as you can go, then there is God.

Jus' Sayn.
