"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."- James 1:17
The world has nothing it can give which is of lasting value. Everything good, and of real beauty and worth, comes from God. Whatever a man discovers and explores in God’s universe always proves the unchangeableness of his laws and plan. Malachi 3:6

In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. (Ecclesiastes 11:6)
ALL of the Lord's people, in proportion as they desire to be the servants of the Truth, should be continually on the alert to note opportunities for service, and should expect to be guided and used of the Lord. Wherever we see evidences of devotion to the Lord and His Word, we should be on the alert to extend a helping hand....We are to be on the alert to pass along the blessing which we have received, and to esteem that this is the chief business of life with those who have consecrated themselves to the service of the King of kings.

I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love. Hosea 11:4
LOVE is the keynote of the Bible, notwithstanding the fact that it contains threatenings as well as promises, and declarations and manifestations of justice as well as of mercy. If God's character were devoid of justice--if his love should override his justice--it would be a terrible calamity for all those dependent upon him. It would testify weakness of character instead of strength. It is the fact that God's wisdom, justice, love, and power operate in full harmony--in co-ordination--that gives us admiration for him, confidence in him, love for him; and all these appreciations are intensified as we realize his unchangeableness.
