Selah

I have often read the word 'Selah' in the book of Psalms and heard it to mean pause. As I was reflecting on the events in our community of the week I read Psalm 62:8 in the Amplified Version of the Bible:

Trust in, lean on, rely on, and have confidence in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is a refuge for us (a fortress and a high tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

Did you see that at the end.....Selah- pause and calmly think of that....oh wow... new perspective for me. Not only pause, but to think calmly. I will be practicing Selah as much as possible these next few days-

and there IS hope~
