Bud

breaking out!
.
Then Jesus said, "God's kingdom is like seed thrown on a field by a man who then goes to bed and forgets about it. The seed sprouts and grows—he has no idea how it happens. The earth does it all without his help: first a green stem of grass, then a bud, then the ripened grain. When the grain is fully formed, he reaps—harvest time!

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater.

I made for myself pools of water from which to water the forest and make the trees bud.

For before the harvest, as soon as the bud blossoms and the flower becomes a ripening grape, then He will cut off the sprigs with pruning knives and remove and cut away the spreading branches.

“Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.

The time is coming when Jacob’s descendants will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole earth with fruit!

Mark 4:26 Isaiah 55:10 Ecclesiastes 2:6 Isaiah 18:5 Matthew 24:32 Isaiah 27:6

Christ’s resurrection is the bud of promise – our resurrection is the flower of fulfillment!
