“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 (NIV)
The longer we live in this world, the more we realize that things are constantly changing. Our verse today reminds us of shifting shadows and we can think of shadows like that which we have seen. We realize that when shadows continually change is is because the source of light causing them is constantly changing – or the object casting the shadow is being moved. To keep a shadow from moving we need to stabilize the source of light and the object as well. This verse likens the source of light to the Father of heavenly lights and that source is stable. His light shining on us is constant. He will always be the same. He will always love us. Things around us may change but He remains and His goodness will always be there for us. Let's stand firm in His light and our shadow will not be shifting.
