Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.

Now’s a great time to watch the ants. They move with purpose, carrying bits of food many times their size. Yet no one is standing over them giving instructions, but they instinctively know that summer is the time to gather and prepare for what lies ahead. What is God telling you to do in this season?

Psalm 74:17
It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter.

There are laws in nature. Gravity is one of them. What goes up must come down. The tides rise and fall. The sun rises and sets. God created the world with order and purpose. He also established the seasons. And He won’t allow those seasons to last forever. Each one has its place because God designed it that way.

Proverbs 10:5
He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.

Farmers know that some seasons are more productive than others. Summer is one of those seasons. It’s the best time to work the fields, plant the seeds, pull the weeds, and do everything possible to prepare for the harvest to come. Is there something you need to plant today?

Mark 13:28
Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.

Jesus wanted to make sure His followers knew how to recognize His return, so He used an illustration they would understand. When winter is ending, tiny buds appear on the branches. And while those buds don’t cause summer to come, they do reveal that it’s getting close. In the same way, Jesus’ return would include signs that wouldn’t cause Him to return, but would reveal it was close at hand.

Exodus 15:11
Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?

God knows that songs have a way of settling deep into our hearts. That’s why, after He rescued the Israelites from Egypt and parted the Red Sea, Moses led the people in a song of praise. It was a way for His people to remember who He was and what He’d done for them.

Acts 2:22
Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know.

On the day of Pentecost, in front of a very large crowd the same Peter that denied Jesus just weeks earlier, stood in boldness and proclaimed that Jesus was the Messiah. And the response was incredible. About 3,000 people repented, believed, and were baptized that day!
