Earthy things

June 28, 2020
"He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake." - PSALM 23:3

When Tolstoy tired, he would plow barefooted, and the feel of dirt on his feet was therapeutic. In nature, there’s a link between “earthy things” like green pastures, still waters and a restored soul. The natural mirrors spiritual truth. God’s green pastures silence the cacophony of Babylon. His still waters out sparkle the world’s muddy gutter streams. In Him, the mind is free to roam the broad pastures of His truth, the emotions soothed by the rippleless waters and the will refocused on His paths of righteousness. Nature beckons us to God, not to itself.
