O Almond Tree
Awake
from your winter sleep, O Almond Tree, put forth your blooms, its blossoming
time, illuminated by the fragrance of Jesus.
Jeremiah
1 V11-12
11 The
word of the Lord came to me: “What do you see Jeremiah?” “I see the branch of an almond tree”, I
replied.
12 Then
the Lord said to me,” You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to
perform it...
It’s awakening time. The almond tree is the first to blossom and
the last to bear fruit. The almond tree
is a sign of hope that he will fulfil his promises and that He is ready to
perform His word. He promises restoration.
Ezekiel 34 v 25-31 The Lord promises spiritual blessing, blessings of
grace, peace, righteousness, abundance, showers of blessing.
That “dew from heaven”, that Holy Ghost mist. The dew from heaven is symbolic of life,
vitality, renewal and strength.
Refreshment, unity, harmony as mentioned in
Psalm 133.
The dew brings God’s healing. The morning dew is God’s delivery system.
Exodus 16 v13-17 For the manna was given by God to his people in the desert on their way to the Promised Land. This spiritual manna delivered the “dew of Heaven”, “Showers of Blessing” bringing God’s healing. Zechariah 8 v12 For I am planting seeds of peace and prosperity among you. The grapevines will be heavy with fruit. The earth will produce its crops, and the heavens will release the dew. Once more I will cause the remnant in Judah and Israel to inherit these blessings.

The
cloud is moving. That dew from heaven,
that heavenly mist. Showers of blessing,
the almond tree is in full bloom.

ReplyDeleteYour painting is beautiful and what you shared with us is Life. I thank you for the scriptures that you drew out. It's nice to hear that the cloud is moving and that the almond tree is in full bloom. I agree with you. We will truly know our God. We will esteem Him above all else. Intimacy is being developed in a deep way. Our Lord is so beautiful! I thank you for generating hope in the hearts of God's people. So many have been discouraged.
