Where we are on our journey with God and are we walking a path trodden before? Knowing we aren't the only ones to follow the route may help us in our choices. Cedric suggests we choose a path that enables God to do new things with us.
Walking the path previously trodden is not like walking in King Wenceslas' shoes, where it's just slightly warmer than the freezing snow and we just get a view of his back, but a path wide enough to walk with Jesus by our side and share the yoke.
