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?
Selah
Who am I
Selah
God is gracious. He allows for this breath. This selah. This tremendous opportunity.
