My wife and I have started to explore walking trails in our area. We’ve enjoyed the exercise but are even more attracted to the beauty we behold. Some trails go through quiet forests. Others go along streams, rivers or ponds. The quiet beauty of these trails seems to bring peace and restoration to our souls.
This is the peace and restoration that King David wrote about in Psalm 23. “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for hus name’s sake.” I don’t know about you, but that sounds good to me. In the stresses of elections and a pandemic, having God lead me to still waters is a welcome and soothing tonic.
