🪦 Faith Beyond the Grave
God Can Use Anything to Achieve His Purpose
What do you do when it feels like your faith isn’t enough?
There are times when we feel too weak, too small, or too insignificant to make a difference. But God has a way of using the most unexpected things to accomplish His will—just like He did through the bones of Elisha.
After Elisha died, it seemed like his story was over. But then, something miraculous happened. One day, as some men were burying a body, they threw it into Elisha’s tomb. The moment the body touched Elisha’s bones, the man was revived! (2 Kings 13:20-21, NLT).
What’s the lesson here?
God isn’t limited by time, circumstances, or even death. Elisha may have felt unfulfilled on his deathbed, thinking he hadn’t fully accomplished what he was called to do. But God showed that even a dead man’s bones could be used to bring life.
Where do you feel like you’ve hit a dead end?
Maybe you feel like you’ve run out of strength. Perhaps you think your efforts have been in vain or that it’s too late to see results. But this story tells us that God’s power can show up when we least expect it—even in the most lifeless situations. All He asks is that we keep believing, keep trusting, and keep placing our hope in Him.
The miracle of Elisha’s bones reminds us that no situation is beyond God’s reach. Even when you think it’s over, God is still working. He can bring life out of what appears to be dead. So don’t give up on your faith. You may feel like you’re at the end, but God is just getting started.
Action Step:
Take a moment today to think about an area in your life that feels “dead” or stagnant. Ask God to breathe new life into it. Commit to praying daily for this situation, believing that He can turn it around—even when it seems impossible.
