"He taught His disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered unto the hands of men, and they shall kill Him; and after that He is killed, He shall rise the third day. But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask Him.... for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest" (Mark 9:31-34).
How much we occupy our mind
With petty conversation!
Disputing this and that we find
No time for meditation.
No time for musing on God's word?
Alas! We miss the best
That mortal ears have ever heard,
And eyes were thereby blest.
Ah, Lord, forgive our pettiness,
And give us focused thought
On Jesus' love and righteousness,
To worship as we ought!
