Psalm 84
The word SELAH… Do you know what it means? This word is used 71 times in the Psalms and three times in Habakkuk chapter 3. Selah is a musical term, but not much is known or understood about it. The best understanding is that this word means to play this part louder, sing louder or pause the instruments at this point. It is important to practice this for the simple reason that our life often becomes way too busy. We need to pause and we need to praise God. Slowing down is not just ceasing from activity or work. That is an important part but often our mind is still in overdrive with worries or plans. God has His own way of working to bring us as people to the point where we realize that we are not in control like we believe we are. Try reading through Psalm 84 and pause each time you see the word Selah. As you pause and reflect on what has been written about God stop and praise God. This might be why God has you where you are right now. Selah
