Read: James 1:17-18

This scripture is a beautiful picture of God’s heart toward us. Every good and perfect thing in our lives is a gift from him. We can count on his character and divine nature.

We might use the word “shifting” to describe someone of unreliable character. Someone who is shifty goes from one side of the fence to another, never able to be counted upon.

But God is not like that. He is not a shifting shadow that can at once be there and at the same time, not there. Reliability is his name.

Take a minute and do inventory in your life. Everything good and perfect is from him. Give thanks.
