“God is not merely good, but goodness; goodness is not merely divine, but God.” – C.S. Lewis

James wanted his readers to understand that everything good in their lives came from God. It could not have come from anywhere else because nothing and no one else is good. God is more than just the author of that which is good, He is its essence because He is goodness itself.

The believer’s circumstances do not affect, dictate, or impact the goodness of God. He is good, and all the good things in the believer’s life come from Him even in the midst of the darkest trial. As the Psalmist said, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
