My friends, we are in the valley of dry bones. Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost, and we are cut off completely. Cut off from our usual sources of joy and support and entertainment. Cut off from our patterns of community and work and school. Cut off from the systems we have idolized for so long, in which we have put our faith. As we watch these idols fall, now is the time that we see that we need God the most. We have seen our government fail. We have seen corporations fail. Facing this crisis with our human strength alone, I am certain we will fall to despair.
But with the strength of God, we will be raised up from these graves and we shall live! God is breathing a new Spirit into this land. Brothers, sisters, and siblings in Christ, as we feel our breath now more than ever, our Lord is closer to us than our very breath. Our God is the God of resurrection hope, the God of all good, conquering evil, and our promise of salvation, trampling down death by death and giving life even to dry bones.
