Not so insignificant

I have been pondering on my trip to Honduras since I have been home.  And I am anticipating my return next year! I have been thinking about conversations that we had and the friendships with a new family I have made.  I keep going back to my day that I was assigned the morning devotional.  I feel I need to share it with you.  It is from Ezekiel 37: 1-15 when God asked Ezekiel to prophesy to dead, dry bones in the valley.
My question today- Are you listening?  Sometimes we want a word from God and we just aren't listening.  We are too busy or being to loud to hear God talking and telling us what he wants us to do.  It can be in a song, a sermon, or just through another persons actions or words.  Sometimes God speaks and we just don't listen to what he is saying.  We ask God "please let me hear a word from you" and we just don't slow down enough to listen.  Then there is the times we do hear God and it isn't what we want to hear or want to do. What do you do when this happens?  Do you obey? or do you ignore his command.  Ezekiel was God's messenger.  God spoke to him to prophesy to dry bones and he obeyed no matter how silly he thought it was or how hard it could be.  And Ezekiel not only did it once, but twice.  He didn't say no to God or give excuses.  HE just obeyed.  Do you call out to dry bones to come alive? As we go out to others and speak to Gods greatness and love, you are calling out to those with dead hearts filling them with Gods love.
You may feel insignificant and feel your words or actions don't have meaning.  But you may never know who is listening and what an impact it can have on them.  I didn't feel like my work in Honduras had any significance but it does.  I had an impact on the people there and on our team.  And they made impressions on me.  Their love and support of our work and being a family.
So I ask, are you calling out to dry bones?  Make a difference today and everyday in someone's life no matter how small.
"As we call out to dry bones come alive, come alive.  And we call out to dead hearts come alive, come alive. Come up out of the ashes let us see an army rise, we call out to dry bones come alive." Lauren Daigle- come alive
