“As you do not know what is the way of the wind, or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, so you do not know the works of God who makes everything” (Ecclesiastes 11:5). Bones may not look very lively, but our life depends on a boney skeleton that is an engineering marvel. Bones are often associated with death, like the dry bones of Ezekiel 37:1–14, but our bones are very much alive with cells, blood vessels, nerves, and pain receptors. Indeed, bones are capable of growing, repairing, and even changing their shape to meet the demands we place on them.
