       James tells us that “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.” Do you see that? These gifts are called good and perfect. They are good and perfect in that they will match our own desire. Is it not God’s will to give his children good things that they ask him for? These good and perfect gifts, the things we want, they come to us from the Father of lights. This title for God, the Father of Lights, this is a title from the Jewish people—who remember, this letter is addressed to by James. Nevertheless, this name of God—the Father of Lights—signifies and reminds us that God is Creator of the Universe and the Earth. If God is over all, and actually created all, how much more should we suppose that God wants to create good in our lives, just like he had in the Universe. We don’t want to be like the Moon during a Solar Eclipse, and move in front of the Sun and block God’s light. The Moon for a moment of time desires to be star of the show, and in doing so, blocks light coming down to the earth.
