James says, "Every good gift … comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning" (James 1:17, NKJV).
As the NJV puts it, God "does not change like shifting shadows."
The sun causes a shadow as it turns and the shadow moves. When there is no shadow, the sun is directly overhead at its zenith. God never casts a shadow at all, because He is always at the zenith. And He never shifts from that perfect position. The light of God is ceaseless, not temporary, and always fully radiant.
His is the everlasting light that we are to eternally reflect. Our faces should not be veiled, as His glory will not pass away. We are being changed "from glory to glory" (2 Cor. 3:18, NKJV)-we are given more and more glory!
Hallelujah!
