What does the Bible say about Summer?
Summer is referred to as the growing season. It’s also known as being the hottest and most fun season of the year. We look forward to Summer vacation and taking trips.

Christian quotes about summer
“If there were no tribulation, there would be no rest; if there were no winter, there would be no summer.” John Chrysostom
“Let God’s promises shine on your problems.”
“Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams.” Hosea Ballou
“We may sing beforehand, even in our winter storm, in the expectation of a summer sun at the turn of the year; no created powers can mar our Lord Jesus’ music, nor spill our song of joy. Let us then be glad and rejoice in the salvation of our Lord; for faith had never yet cause to have wet cheeks, and hanging-down brows, or to droop or die.” Samuel Rutherford
“You may have wealth. It cannot profit long. You may have health. Decay will cause its flower to fade. You may have strength. It soon will totter to the grave. You may have honors. A breath will blast them. You may have flattering friends. They are but as a summer brook. These boasted joys often now cover an aching heart, but they never gave a grain of solid peace; they never healed a wounded conscience; they never won approving looks from God; they never crushed the sting of sin.” Henry Law
