Every good gift cometh from the Lord

by -
James 1:17 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.

Gifts are things given willingly to someone without payment; a present, some gifts may be good, in the sense that it is beneficial to the recipients while bad gifts are dangerous 

When God finished His work, He declared it very good (Genesis 1:31). When people finish their work, they consider it good enough. No matter how much a perfectionist tries, they cannot create perfection; there will always be room for improvement. Only God can produce something perfect. For this reason, James tells us, “every perfect gift is from above” (James 1:17a).
Meaning of "Every Perfect Gift Is from Above"

The word perfect means complete or lacking in nothing. That is not to say a perfect gift provides everything a person can ever need, but rather it fully accomplishes what the giver intends.

 People do not have the capacity to give anything perfect. Corrupted by sin, we lack the ability to do so. Perfection is not something this world can produce, for only God possesses the ability to give perfect gifts. That is what “every perfect gift is from above” means. 

When God gives a perfect gift, it may not be something we want or something which makes us feel good; however, it is something we need.

God's perfect gift to man is always accompanied with a purpose in His will, when God gave Jesus Christ as a gift to the world, its purpose was for salvation. Whatever God is giving you today, it is the perfect gift to occupy a vacuum in your life which is intended for a good purpose. 

But the gift Satan gives always comes with a great price and dangerous to the soul. Whatever he gives is to be returned in multiple folds with pain and agony. 

Depend on God for whatever you need, what He gives may not turn out to be what you wanted in your life, but it is the best for ALL you need. 

God gives with peace of mind added, rest in His providence. 

God bless you.
