Job 42:2 “I know that You can do all things; no plan of Yours can be thwarted. 3 You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely, I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. 4 “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’ 5 My ears had heard of You but now my eyes have seen 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. It’s hard to understand His ways in the fog of our lives. Selah. Rest in Him.
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.
