Day 60: Selah

Selah.  I'm grateful for selah.  If you are going, "what?!" let me define it for you.  Selah: pause and think on that, interlude, pause.  Got it?  Basically it is a word that says, "Hey *this* is important to stop at and consider and think through or think about.  Rest on *this* for a moment before continuing."  I'm so grateful for selah.  If I didn't have selah moments in my life then I would just speed through without ever noticing anything around me.  Selah gets me to "stop and smell the roses."  I first discovered selah when reading the Psalms in the Bible.  You might have seen it to the side or underneath a verse before continuing on to the next.  It's saying, "whoa, that was important so think about it a little before just moving on."  So I started doing that, with the verses in Psalms and the verses in the Bible overall.  Then I started doing it in my life with moments and relationships and conversations, even with work related things.  It makes a difference to not just blow by someone or something but to stop, pause, and think on them or it.  Try it, you may like it.  Then we can be grateful together for selah.

Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play.
