Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17 (NIV)
God is Light. In Him is no darkness at all. There’s no turning in Him that would cause a shadow. He never changes as shifting shadows do.
In His visions of God Ezekiel saw around God’s Throne living creatures or beings that are expressions of God’s Glory. Ezekiel says these creatures that are part of God’s Throne always move straight and never turn in all their movements.
Ezekiel 1:9,12,17 (NLT) The wings of each living being touched the wings of the beings beside it. Each one moved straight forward in any direction without turning around. They went in whatever direction the spirit chose, and they moved straight forward in any direction without turning around.
The beings could move in any of the four directions they faced, without turning as they moved.
What’s all this about? The very nature, character, substance, form, fashion, and design of God is no turning, no change. He continues straight, He remains stable, He stays the same. He won’t say one thing and do another that’s different or the opposite. What He says He does. So we can count on His integrity, we can rely on His faithfulness, we can depend on His trustworthiness.
