“‘The staff of the man I am going to choose will sprout buds’…it had sprouted not only buds but flowers and ripe almonds as well.”
Numbers 17:20a, 23b CJB
Buds: life coming from a seemingly lifeless piece of wood; flowers for the eyes and the nose, ripe almonds for the tongue, a sensory delight on top of a miracle. God loves to go above and beyond but what we anticipate and even what He may at times indicate.
