Reflection #1 on 'No Other One' by Rachael Lampa

How do the seasons know exactly when to change
Who on earth could find a language or a line
Or count the ways to best describe the beauty found in your design

Do you like the change of seasons? I lived in a part of Texas for several years where the seasons never changed. We just had two variations of summer--dry or wet. I enjoyed it for the first two years, but after that I grew restless. Time seemed to stand still. I needed change; I needed variety. So I moved to Nebraska, and boy did I find it.

In the song "No Other Name," Rachael Lampa asks how the seasons know when to change. Her question goes to the heart of the greatness of God, His faithfulness, love and wisdom.

"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5, NIV).

God has invited us to ask Him for wisdom when we need it. In the design of nature we can see the depth of His wisdom. In its great diversity we see His love. In its rhythms we see His faithfulness. God loves you. He has made a promise to you to share His wisdom. You can count on that.

So many times when I did not know what to do, He has come through with His wisdom. Sometimes it doesn't come as quickly as I want, but I know it will come. I will know what to do. Just like the seasons know when it is time for a change, so you and I can know His wisdom and heart.

If you are confused, if you need help, turn to Him today. Ask Him to give you wisdom. Trust Him for it. In Him you will find the answers that you need.
