Scripture
Reflection
The word “selah” is used 74 times in scripture. The meaning is unclear, but many believe it indicates a pause. Where or how do you need to pause in your life?
Prayer
Holy God, some truths are so good that we need a moment to let them sink in, otherwise they risk running off of us like water. So today we slow down. We whisper, “selah.” We pause, and we remember—one day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. Amen.
