The Awakening Tree

The Awakening Tree

Peach Tree Blossoms. The peach tree is akin to the almond tree.

The Awakening Tree
Sends a message to me, Awake,
Asks, what do you see
Branches with blossoms, on an almond tree

Life emerges
From the secret place
Hope begins
With weathers warm embrace

Seasons change
Darkness dims
All my hope
Begins with Him

From the secret place
Truth comes forth
I’m reminded
Our Master Gardner, our True source

The awakening tree
Sends a message for me
The time is nigh
Asks, what do you see

“Yahweh spoke to me again: “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I replied: “I see an almond branch.” “You have seen the vision correctly,” Yahweh said. “Now know this: I constantly watch over My word to fulfill it.” Yahweh spoke these words to me a second time: “Now what do you see?” I replied, “I see a large boiling pot, tipped toward us from the north.””
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭1‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“I see a branch of an almond tree,” Jeremiah replied. The Lord confirmed to Jeremiah he saw rightly…

The almond tree, known for being one of the first to bloom in spring, symbolizes watchfulness and readiness. In Hebrew, the word for almond tree is “shaqed,” which is a play on the word “shoqed,” meaning “watching” or “hastening.” This wordplay suggests that God is watching over His word to fulfill it, emphasizing the certainty and imminence of His promises and judgments. The almond tree’s early blooming serves as a metaphor for the promptness of God’s actions, reinforcing the theme of divine vigilance and the assurance that God’s word will come to pass.

I have a stirring and an awakening inside of me. How can such a tender shoot break through the tough branch? It begins as tender then matures.

God is watching over you and me, hastening to fulfill His word!

Awakening season is here! With evidence.

God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you shalom.

Until next time, thanks for listening with me. laurette
