Selah

In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
Psalm 62: 7-8 KJV

In our Scripture reference for today, 'Selah' appears at the end of the verse. It's commonly defined as a pause, a break in the normal rhythm of things. In other words, stop and reflect. Sometimes for a dramatic effect; other times, to drive home the point. Sometimes, it's to bring life-changing information. Have you ever been watching TV and heard the words, We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you this ... ? And if we don't pause or stop, we miss it altogether.

I think God works with interruptions. If we don't stop to listen, if we don't make time to hear, if we don't give Him the attention He requires from us, He will interrupt our regularly scheduled lives however He needs to in order to bring us His life-changing information. And while, at first, we may hate to be interrupted, His interruptions are always life-changing for the good and are more than worth the stop... if we will listen. Selah

Prayer:

Father,
You are our Refuge and our Strength. Thank You for loving us enough to stop us - to interrupt our plans for Yours. Please, interrupt us any time You see fit. We welcome You. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
