The Father of lights is an ancient Jewish expression for God as the Creator, with “lights” referring to the sun, moon, and stars. (See also Genesis 1:14-19.)
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for James 1:17.
Father of lights
Sun
His Comforts Delight My Soul
Have a wonderful week!
An Endless Life
Because He is the eternal Second Person of the Godhead, Christ’s priesthood cannot end. He obtained His priesthood, not by virtue of the law, but by virtue of His deity.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Hebrews 7:16.
Idolatrous Worship of the Sun, Moon and Stars
God gave them up, judicially abandoning the people to their sin and idolatry. The context here is Israel’s idolatrous worship of the sun, moon and stars (the host of heaven), which began in the wilderness and lasted through the Babylonian captivity.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Acts 7:42.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Every good gift
and every perfect gift
is from above,
and comes down
from the Father of lights,
with whom there is no variation
or shadow of turning.
James 1:17
Since everything that I’m thankful for is from God, I’m giving thanks to Him today. Wishing all of you a wonderful day today 🙂
The Way To Go
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones.
Proverbs 3:7-8
New Every Morning
The bedrock of faith is the reality that God keeps all His promises according to His truthful, faithful character.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Lamentations 3:23.
As real as it gets
And without faith it is
impossible to please God,
because anyone who comes to Him
must believe that He exists
and that He rewards those
who earnestly seek Him.
Hebrews 11:6
