Kingfisher Leadership news Selah - the power of the pause Selah. That's not a word you hear very something is released in the heavenly realm that changes things in the earthy realm. There is power often. It's not an English word, in the pause. We need to learn to pause. Even obviously. It's a Hebrew word that is heaven pauses: used 74 times in the Bible - 71 times in the book of Psalms and 3 "When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there times in Habakkuk. was silence in heaven for about half an hour." (Revelation 8:1, NLT) Because the vast majority of the times the word is Selah: Pause If heaven feels the need to pause , then so used is in Psalms, you can should we! Pause to do what? Well, three to reflect, to be pretty sure that it is a things: reflect, praise and agree. There is praise and to musical term, and, in fact power in reflection, there is power in agree. As we praise and there is power in agreement. In this is a musical term this issue, we are touching on the power of ‘selah’ meaning 'pause'. Either it reflection. was for the music to pause Kingdom and for the singers to power is "Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I continue unaccompanied, never forget the good things he does for released me." (Psalms 103:2 NLT) or for the singers to pause for a musical interlude. But as with most things in the Bible, there is more to this than is apparent at that first glance. The more you dig into this word, Selah, the more meaningful, the richer it becomes. It turns out that Selah does, indeed, mean pause...but it means far more than just pause in a musical context. God calls us to pause for a reason...for a number of reasons, in fact. It turns out that pausing is one of the most powerful things we can do. When we selah...when we pause...

May I never forget. may you never forget… what?
