Okay, so apparently in the absence of a topic, I’ve been given one.
How about a walk through the Psalms? So, this will be, I envision, a short walk maybe a couple months looking at various Psalms all with an emphasis on finding our Selah Moments.
A Selah Moment is simplest of spiritual machines. Yet, when coupled together with prayer, acts of goodness, gratefulness and love, we become a spiritual powerhouse.
A Selah Moment is often misunderstood as an act of meditation. A Selah is often sought after with extreme stress–most of us are comfortable in our solitude whether physical or mental.
A Selah Moment is the withdrawl from action; it is the removal of sound and distraction. It is a space created in the silence, the pause, the exhale of life.
Remember, Selah was intended to be a moment in music where everything paused: the music, the words, etc. In that pause, one was to allow the spirit an opportunity to engage. Often we are soo busy, so active, so thoughtful, the spirit is trying to “talk over” the din in our lives. With a pause, the spirit is able to be.
So, for the next few weeks, lets discuss the Psalms while finding ways to pause and exhale. Any takers?
Psalm 61:4
I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah
