The Giant Pause – Selah

The word selah is mentioned 74 times in the Hebrew Bible, and the meaning has been a hot topic for theologians. I think of selah as a pause between what has been revealed and what is yet to come.

A moment of reflection. A meditative bench.

We are in such a time right now that demands a giant pause.  It offers pause to reflect on the past and to dream about what will be—our chance to reset in order to thrive in a future time.

Now that the shock of our new status quo has subsided, this is the time to ask some critical questions. 

What can I do from now on to flourish?

 Where can I find meaning and satisfaction?

What does connection with others mean to me?

 What counts as a good relationship?

Who am I

Selah


 

God is gracious. He allows for this breath. This selah. This tremendous opportunity.
