"Even in affliction, God is good, and does good."
"We may be sure that whatever changes there may be in human affairs; whatever reverses we may undergo; whatever oceans we may cross, or whatever mountains we may climb, or in whatever worlds we may hereafter take up our abode, God is the same." (Barnes' Notes)
Instead of sending temptation, God is the giver of "every good gift and every perfect gift." The concept of His goodness rules out any possibility that He would send an influence as destructive as temptation.
God tries His saints but never tries them with evil intent so as to tempt them.
To reinforce His teaching that God doesn't tempt people, James reminds us of what God does do - He gives "good gifts and perfect gifts."
As a capstone to his argument, James offers a brilliant picture of the character of God. It can be summed up in these words - God is good! And God does not change!
The Biblical Illustrator said - "...that God Who made us, and from Whom comes every good gift, is unchanging..."
Make sure that you know this! Carry this truth with you in the days that lie ahead.
