—Genesis 8:15-22

It is interesting that reference to seasons (summer and winter), changing temperatures (cold and heat), and specific times for planting and harvesting do not occur in the Bible before this point. Note that this comes just after the flood and is not recorded as part of his initial creation. Could it be that God gave us the cycle of seasons at this point in history to remind us of his order in the world? God does have a plan, and the order in his creation reminds us of that.
