James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
When James calls God the “Father of lights,” he’s pointing us to the one who hung the sun, moon, and stars.
He’s the Source of all blessings. When we stand in the light of earth”s sun, we see shadows that stretch and fade. James is telling us that God, the Father of lights, doesn’t change. His goodness isn’t a mood; it’s His nature.
You needn’t wonder which version of God you’ll get today. In a world of flickering promises, He is the steady, unmoving Source of every blessing. Because He is unchanging, you can always trust the Light. He never turns His back on the day or on you, His own beloved child.
I’m Lonnie Davis, and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Prayer: Father of lights, thank You that Your goodness is no mood. Help me trust Your steady, unchanging, perfect heart.
