God wants you to blossom and flourish like the Almond Tree

Almonds and the almond tree became an important symbol for Israel very early on in the nation’s development. After the Exodus, Moses received instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle, a portable sanctuary where God would meet with the leaders of Israel. The lampstand of this tabernacle was made to artistically represent an almond tree with its detachable lamps shaped as stylized almond blossoms (Exodus 25, 37).

Then, when faced with dissatisfaction over Aaron’s leadership as the high priest, and his family as the priestly family, God miraculously caused Aaron’s staff to sprout, bud, blossom, and produce ripe almonds overnight (Numbers 17). This was a clear symbol of God’s choice in priest, but also carried a decidedly stern warning with it. The staff was kept in front of the ark of the Covenant as a sign to the rebellious (Num. 17:10), so that they would not grumble and die as a result. The almond bearing staff of Aaron became a warning to all who would strive against God.

Jesus is the Almond Tree and you are His branches
