[The Glory Unveiled]
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. ( James 1:17 )
The world has strategically positioned certain events and occasions for acts of kindness and giving of gifts. Likewise, spiritually, there are gifts that are given to men in their seasons and times. But because the devil will want to corrupt them, an identity tag was put in place to identify which is from God and which is not. And so here in this text of scripture, we are shown how to tell if the gift are from God or not. By this pattern of assessment, we can tell the source of the gift. God gives good and perfect gifts to His children. Goodness is an attribute of God that touches anything He does and releases. So if it’s from God, it must be good. Now, “good” is not necessarily convenient, appropriate, or proper but it is the needful in the sight of God. We are also exposed to another nature of God, His “unchangingness”. God does not change like men do. He is faithful and true to His words. Even though every light casts some form of darkness [shifting shadows], God will not change. We can trust the word of God and His promises and the goodness of His gifts. Hallelujah!
