Today’s Thought “Desert Thirst” G. Ward James 1:17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. To be clear, this passage merely proclaims the Creator as unchanging throughout every generation and if any were perfect, they too would extinguish necessity to change (cf. Isa.55:8-9). We who regard His words as final authority, are witnesses to this actuality numerous times in the Word of God and whereas generations of mankind have sought cutting the spiritual umbilical cord (indicative of what it means to follow Him), one will absolutely choose to remain parched, even that to which promotes a dehydration unto death (Ro.6:23). So, here we are at another day and if there remains appearances of the days presented prior, that is, seeking what’s best for me (i.e., outside the grip of His grace), it violates what faith represents and whereas many are ignorantly confident that HE speaks to them, HE will ask, where can that example be found in MY SON I sent for your salvation (*Eph.5:1-2)?
