ii. Timing is not an issue with God – whether day or Night (in the midst of nothingness) His power can still move and effect His will for you. -2Kings 3:16-17
iii. It is only a miracle that can cause the 3 seasons of life to come at once! i.e
· Budding – A promise of Guaranteed future
· Blossom – A promise of a sure maturity – you can’t be cut short – Psm.44;12-14
· The Almonds – A promise of sure fruitfulness and an assurance of preservation.
