“Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.” -James 1:17 (NASB)
We have been finding and pondering promises from the letter James wrote. Today’s promise is one of certainty about the gift Giver. Every truly good thing, and all the perfect gifts we receive come from God. When it comes to God’s Word there is no such thing “individual truth” or “truth the way I see it.” Our personal opinion and faulty understanding can only produce various shadows of what we want the truth to be. The result is that kind varies from one to another. Believing this kind of truth is like trying to keep our shadow. It is constantly changing and it comes and goes depending on our surroundings. God’s truth is one of the perfect gifts that comes from above and it is always without variation. It is has no shifting shadows because Truth only comes from the Father of lights. There is only one light shining on it and that light is the Word of God as given in the Bible.
