English term or phrase: which is how it keeps time
James says, "Every good gift … comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning". As the NKJV puts it, God "does not change like shifting shadows." The sun causes a shadow as it turns and the shadow moves. You see it on a sundial, ***which is how it keeps time***. 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. The Spirit of God is not flickering uncertainly around our lives. He abides with us. We can walk in confidence knowing that Jesus has promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Los relojes de sol (sundial) llevan o registran el tiempo por medio del movimiento de la sombra, que es de lo que habla el contexto.
