Modern medicine can perform remarkable procedures like heart transplants and stent placements that extend and improve lives. Yet even the most successful surgeries cannot overcome the reality that every earthly life eventually comes to an end.

A familiar song led me back to Ezekiel 37 with fresh eyes. What I once thought was simply a story about bones coming together is actually a powerful reminder that God brings hope to people who feel completely defeated.
