Selah—A small but mighty word
Do you have a never-ending “To Do List”? We do. Our household has even turned it into an art form, using various colors and fonts on the computer to add humor and interest. The tendency of most of us is to move from one activity to another, perhaps trying to get as many things on our “To Do List” done as possible so that we can triumphantly cross off a few things at the end of each day.
The Bible has lots to say about taking a break from all the action and being still. Have you read the word Selah before? I’ve found it’s used 75 times in the Bible. Some say it can mean to “stop and listen.”
A little background on the word. Scholars aren’t exactly sure what it means since it’s a transliteration of a Hebrew word. Some people think it’s an instruction to pause or interrupt the psalm before continuing with the next verse. Other people suggest it’s used to conclude a section of a psalm.
