Shade Tree Wisdom 11/14/15

          One of the best known verses in the Bible is written b St. Paul in his letter to the Ephesians where St. Paul writes, chapter 2, v. 8,9

“For by grace

You have been saved

Through faith, and

This is not your

Own doing;

It is the gift of God,

Not the result

Of works,

So that no

One may boast.”

Ephesians 2, 8.9.

          These two short verses tell the story of salvation in brief. Every child in confirmation classes learned them as one of the first pieces for memory. And, once learned, they stand ready to steady us when we are assaulted by the devil and all manner of evil that seems daily around us in this world. But here we stand secure by God’s promise, and daily we are grateful for His presence in our daily affairs. Bless the Lord for His grace and constant care
