“He restores my soul” says Psalm 23. The Discipline of Solitude puts us in a position where God can begin to restore our souls.

While hiking the other day, I saw a sign on a new fence in an area where the local forestry people did a major clean-out of non-native vegetation. The sign said “Area closed: Area behind sign is closed for vegetation restoration.” What a great symbol for the kind of sign I need to hang on my soul some days. CLOSED, so that God can restore.
