Day 29 of 31 Days of Chasing THE Light
Selah Light
This is hard for me sometimes because I can tap my foot
with impatience when something isn’t done in my time frame. To be still before
God like Mary is hard when I feel I am more like Martha. So sometimes…to pause
makes me tap my foot.

“Be
still, and know that I am God…” ~Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
I don’t know about you but I can be easily seduced by the
hustle and bustle of the day. When I
spend my quiet time in the morning with Him, I admit that I will get up after
my prayers and start getting things done before the kids wake up. But, what
about pausing and listening to Him?
Selah…
This word is used 71 times in the Psalms and it means to
pause – to take a moment to reflect on what has just been said.
But what if we have selah
moments?
To quiet ourselves after our prayers.
To reflect on what we’ve read.
To pause and linger a little longer.
To “be still and know.”
To reflect on what we’ve read.
To pause and linger a little longer.
To “be still and know.”
To take a moment after we pray before we rush into our
day. To sit quietly and listen to Him speak. To pause after we read His Word to
reflect. Pause and marinate – to let
it sink down into our hearts. When we marinate meat – the flavor is so good and
juicy…right? When we marinate on God’s
Word…our hearts line up with His…and that is so good. Yes?
Today, let’s be intentional with our moments. Let’s pause
– selah – and marinate on what He
says to us because our day is held in His hands. He holds it all and in order
to shine His light – we need to have Selah
times to allow Him to pour into us. Pay attention to His grace today.
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.
His love endures forever.”
~Psalm 136:1 (NIV)
His love endures forever.”
~Psalm 136:1 (NIV)
