Jam 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
The old hymn echoes, ” Great is thy faithfulness oh God my father, there is no shadow of turning with thee. Thou changes not, thy compassions , they fail not. Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me” ( Carrie Underwood). Yes, let every man be faithless, but our God will always be faithful, no matter what!
He is the giver of every good gift. All that we have and cherish, all that we will receive is from him. He keeps his promises to us though sometimes we wander away from him. To not be faithful to us is impossible because he is and will remain faithful . If “there is no shadow of turning” , means there is no darkness in him. There is no shadow because there is no movement ( turning). He is steadfast. ( Mary Beth Gombita – Willow Dale women)
Man’s shadow is likely to change depending on the position of the sun or the moon – He changes in the shadow he cast . But our God never changes or casts a shifting shadow. He remains a continuous source of good gifts. He does not posses variability. He is the father of lights and in him there is no shadow. He is faithful, trustworthy and dependable.
