The builders thought
they knew
which was the right
stone
to use for the
corner.
They did not.
The disciples
felt they knew who
were your true
followers,
but like the builders
were wrong.
O dear God, your ways
are right;
the upright walk in
them,
but transgressors
stumble.
Make us wise,
make us discerning,
to know and to
understand,
lest we end up with
the stumblers.
