Just strolling


Where we walk

Romans 8:4

“that the righteous requirements of the law might be fulfilled

in us who do not walk according to the flesh, but of the spirit”.

 

Unless you go in circles ... you walk to get somewhere.

And when you arrive are you where you belong?

Are you where you need to be or just where you want to dwell?

Do you find yourself in a place where decay is smelling strong?

 

There are some who do not walk ... they are just standing still.

As an obstacle in the way for people who walk by.

What about Lot’s wife ... is she still standing

as a statue on the road ... unrecognized and dry?
