STOP !

A friend once advised me to journal, saying “It’s the stop that keeps you going.” I found what she said to be true. Pausing to stop and reflect allows me time to consider my next step.




But this ‘stop’ is more than just journaling. It’s a lifestyle of stopping so that we can keep going. It’s a habit of taking time off consciously to recover, uncover and discover.

• To recover is to stop to rest physically, to recover from a long day’s work or a tiring week. When we are busy, the first thing that decreases is the number of hours we sleep. There’s nothing really wrong with that, but we must learn to schedule in sleeping time later. Let us not be caught as persons who have to fill up every hour of the day with activities.

• To uncover is to be silent before God and ourselves in order to lay bare and allow different concerns/worries/issues/events to surface. To think about what caused us to make a certain decision, why did I feel like that, why did that event/person affect me in this particular way? To uncover is to remove the many masks we’ve hidden behind so that we can see more clearly the feelings, thoughts, and experiences deep within ourselves.

• To discover is to be able to see things in a new light, in a fresh way; to be recharged and re-energized; able to make sense of things. When we stop to reflect and be quiet, we find a sense of motivation, desire, and hope to go on, or to go a different direction. When we stop to reflect, we notice new things about ourselves, others, and the situation/circumstance we’re in.

Often times, we miss the chance to notice what God is doing in our life, because we’re too busy to stop. Have you made time for “the stop that keeps you going”? What are some discoveries that you’ve made about yourself or God lately?

So what does Selah mean? "Selah is probably either a liturgico-musical mark or an instruction on the reading of the text, something like "stop and listen"Selah, an isolated word found in certain psalms (eg. Psalms 3, 4, 62 etc.) has uncertain meaning. Most likely though, it is a liturgical notation that calls for a brief musical interlude or for a brief liturgical response by congregation.


Therefore 'selah' may mean " stop & listen-adapted from wikipedia.com & FES Newsletter- Why should I come for Selah?Hence, Selah basically means to stop & listen.


Come join us for this coming Selah Day, to come and take a break or TIME OUT!! Take some time to stop and listen and reflect on your journey and walk with God. Recommended especially for those who are feeling burned out or spiritually tired, come and let God speak to you and refresh you up....
