James 1:17

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Every good and perfect gift is from above
Psalm 85:12 The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.
John 3:27 To this John replied, "A man can receive only what is given him from heaven."
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
James 3:15 Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.

coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights
Genesis 1:16 God made two great lights--the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
Psalm 136:7 ... who made the great light--His love endures forever.
Daniel 2:22 "He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him."
1 John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

who does not change
Numbers 23:19 "God is not a man that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?'
Psalm 102:27 But you remain the same, and your years will never end.
Malachi 3:6 "I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed."
