Right Paths

He leads me in right paths for his name's sake.

Paths denote direction. Do we have a direction? Are we moving at all.

The material we used on the retreat suggested that if sheep stay still and do not change their pasture area, that they will ruin the land on which they live. Staying in one place too long leads to problems.

Do we realize that in our churches? Do we long too much to "have it the way it used to be?" Do we find such security in the past or the status quo that we risk ruining the land on which we stand?
