“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.” (James
1:17 – KJV)
In
this world, governments have introduced various welfare schemes for the
well-being of the people. To receive these benefits, we are usually required to
apply through the proper channels. However, many times, the benefits we are
entitled to are hindered by corruption, bribery, and bureaucratic obstacles.
Often, these benefits are distributed based on favouritism, bribery, or
political influence rather than fairness.
But
the Kingdom of Heaven is not like the governments of this world. Jesus said,
“My
kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my
servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my
kingdom not from hence.” (John 18:36 – KJV)
According
to this truth, our kingdom, as children of God, is not of this world either.
Therefore,
when we submit our petitions through prayer to the Kingdom of Heaven, answers
and blessings flow down to us from above. Unlike earthly systems, there is no
need to offer bribes or gain favour through money or influence. As today’s
meditation verse reminds us:
“...with
whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”
He does not show favouritisms, nor does He judge by outward appearance or
financial status.
Even
in this world, some private organizations offer employment solely based on
merit and qualifications. In such places, one cannot obtain a job through money
or influence, because their focus is solely on the growth and integrity of
their institution.
As
the verse says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and
cometh down from the Father of lights...” —all good things come only from Him.
Yes, beloved, it is essential that we live as faithful citizens of the Heavenly
Kingdom.
Moreover,
today's verse does not say we must beg for these blessings. It simply says that
they come down from above. Just like a river that overflows and rushes forward,
these blessings flow abundantly to all who are worthy. It is enough that we
seek His kingdom and His righteousness.
Did
not Jesus Christ say, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33)
Yes,
beloved, just as we are called to be faithful citizens of our earthly nation,
we are even more called to be faithful citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. When
we live this way, every perfect gift will come down upon us from the Father of
lights.
