Singing on Ephesians.

A dear friend wailed the other day, "Everything I touch turns to dust! Everything I'm doing just falls away and fails!" It was a dark day.

And then, a reading from Ephesians 2.8 for Mid-Afternoon Prayer.

"It is owing to his favor that salvation is yours through faith. This is not your own doing, it is God's gift..."

Yes, my dear. Everything we do turns to dust. But the One Thing Necessary is not our own doing. It is God's gift, and it shall not fail.
