Father of Lights

James 1 v 17 says "every good and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of Lights with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning". God has no variation or shadow in Him. If we could fully look on God there would be no shadow, no dark side, or even hidden part to God. This is because God does not change. He is not fickle. He remains the same and we need not fear a shadow in God. God gives us good and perfect things and we can count on Him to do that in the midst of our struggles. It is not always clear what those good things will be, or how anything good could come out of the trial we are in. But we can't look directly at our situation to give us what is good. Rather, we look to "the Father of lights" who never changes.
