Psalm 33: 20 We wait in hope for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. 21 In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy Name. 22 May Your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in You.”
The actual meaning of the word Selah is unknown. Selah and Sabbaths should prompt us to stop the mad rush and instead, to meditate on God’s character, His words, or His actions on behalf of His people. The best true response to God is to pause for worship.
Selah interjects much like “Κύριε, ἐλέησον” in the Greek Orthodox liturgy: Lord, Have Mercy! Lent Devotionals will resume tomorrow after today’s Sabbath rest to reflect, refresh, and worship Him. Selah.
