Jeremiah 17:20 NASB
and say to them, ‘Listen to the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of Jerusalem who come in through these gates.
I have spent much time recently listening. This is often as I am walking or exercising. Things or words or songs catch my attention. Many times God is speaking, and I am seeking to listen.
This time was in a song. The song is titled Rattle and is by Elevation Worship. It is a powerful song with an incredible message.
Early in the song there is a question asked. When I heard the song and the question, I stopped and listened. Then I stopped a few times to listen and think.
“Since when has impossible ever stopped You?”
It made me stop. It was a wow moment for sure.
What is impossible with God? Nothing. That is a simple answer, and it is true. We may think that God has limits or doesn’t work in one way or another. Our perception of God can often be wrong.
He has no limits. He is able to do so much more than we can imagine or think up. Stop putting God in a box. Read the stories that Scripture provides. See how God is working overtime to help people lie you and me stand in awe of Him, and watch how God is working in our lives to do more, much more.
This song, Rattle, is about the dead bones or dry bones found in Ezekiel 37.
Ezekiel 37:7-10 NASB
So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a loud noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 And I looked, and behold, tendons were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them. 9 Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘The Lord God says this: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, so that they come to life.”’” 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
That is a miracle.
Since when has our mind limited God? Since when has a problem held God back? The answer is never. God is able. Just like in this story we can expect God to work in ways no one and nothing else can.
Go find the song. Listen in. Hear what God might be saying to you. I close by sharing some of the lyrics with you:
RATTLE by Elevation Worship
Saturday was silent
Surely it was through
But since when has impossible
Ever stopped You
Friday's disappointment
Is Sunday's empty tomb
Since when has impossible
Ever stopped You
This is the sound of dry bones rattling
This is the praise make a dead man walk again
Open the grave, I'm coming out
I'm gonna live, gonna live again
This is the sound of dry bones rattling
Pentecostal fire stirring something new
You're not gonna run out of miracles anytime soon
Yeah, resurrection power runs in my veins too
I believe there's another miracle here in this room…
Yeah
Whoa
Do you hear it?
Do you hear it?
Do you hear it?
My God is able to save and deliver and heal
And restore anything that He wants to
Just ask the man who was thrown
On the bones of Elisha
If there's anything that He can't do
Just ask the stone that was rolled
At the tomb in the garden
What happens when God says to move
I feel Him moving it now
I feel Him doing it now
I feel Him doing it now
Do it now, do it now…
This is the sound
This is the sound of dry bones rattling
This is the praise make a dead man walk again
Open the grave, I'm coming out
I'm gonna live, gonna live again
Open the grave, I'm coming out
I'm gonna live, gonna live again
Open the grave, I'm coming out
I'm gonna live, gonna live again
This is the sound of dry bones rattling, rattling, yeah
I hear the sound (I hear the sound)…
