James 1:16-17

"Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change."

All that I have that is good is from God. All that anyone has, Christian or non-Christian, if it's good, it's from God. All good gifts come from Him. And to the Christian, He only gives good gifts. And we can have confidence that this will continue. Whereas we are working towards steadfastness, God is not becoming steadfast, He is steadfast. He can accurately be characterized by an absolute constancy. There is no variation from day to day in His disposition. God is the faithful good gift giver. We will not be the ones who are first to get a lemon from God.
