" ... I am watching over My word to perform it."
Jeremiah 1:12 (New American Standard Bible)
"The almond tree is one of the earliest trees to bloom in Palestine. Before it puts forth leaves, it puts forth blossoms, white and snowy. While the land is still chill from winter, the warm blossoms, untended and unforced, surprise us with a promise of spring. Every spring it happens again. ...
The blossom is a delight in itself, ... fragrant to smell. But it is more. It is anticipation. It is promise. Like words. ... God's words. ... They are promises that lead to fulfillment. ... God does what he says."
