Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:17 KJV).
The Bible is the compendium of God’s notices, commandments, charge, and all such things God wants us to know, first about Himself and His requirements from us. The LORD Jesus puts this thus, “And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (John 5:37- 39 KJV). Notice Jesus affirmed that the scriptures…testify of him. It is upon and about this, that it is important that we read or search the Scriptures that we may know God, apply the knowledge lest we err in our relationship with Him.
The Book of James declared a very important attribute of God that there is no variableness in God. This is a very important note and notice that we must gain, adopt, and adapt about God. The dictionary describes variableness as an element, feature, or factor that is liable to vary or change. Variableness is a factor that assumes different values at the variation of surrounding or supporting factors. It therefore would not produce the same outcome or result when something changes. Variableness informs of unreliable or inconsistent result or product.
Now, Variableness, James 1:17 affirms, does not describe our God. There is no variableness with God the Scripture says. This is a very important attribute of God every Man must know. Quite unlike Man: God does not vacillate as a result of any influence or condition. He is God ALL the time.
Beloved, it is because there is no variableness with God that we must learn and know to depend on Him. You will find Him the same all the time. God says of Himself, “For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” (Mal. 3:6 JKV). Let us not put God in the league of Man but rather as God and truly God that He is …with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:17 KJV). Believe GOD!
