The Watch Tree

Gnarly grape vines lie dormant here in Malta, but the almond tree displays glorious pink and white blossoms.  The landscape arrests our attention.  Ed finds a spot on the narrow walled road to stop the car.  God showed Jeremiah a vision asking, "What do you see?". Jeremiah replied, he saw a branch of an almond tree also known as the watch tree, the watchful tree.  It awakens early in the season, blooming while other trees sleep.  God instructs us in Jeremiah 1:11, reminding us that He watches over His Word to perform it.  Watching for God's instruction as we pray here in the island nation of Malta.  God is watching.  Get ready.  Fulfillment is near.
