"The Selah" - TO

 "Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good." (Ecclesiastes 9:18 KJV)

  "For there are many rebellious people who engage in useless talk and deceive others. This is especially true of those who insist on circumcision for salvation. They must be silenced, because they are turning whole families away from the truth be their false teaching. And they do it only for money." (Titus 1:10-11 NLT)

  Nothing that we can do cannot be forgiven; everything we mess up, can be turned into something that is put back together! If you have walked away from God, know, you can always, without a doubt, walk back to Him, and He will except you with His arms opened wide and smother you in His loving arms! It really doesn't matter how hard you have fallen; if you still have breath in your lungs, there is still hope! 

 Now then, about this word, "Selah," and what some think it might mean: "to lift up, and Exalt," is one that is put out there, as we stop and give praise to God, between the portion of Scriptures; another is, "the end, or a pause," as we might stop to think between the lines, what it was that we have just read. Here is a little thought, if it might be something to think about: It is the beginning of something new and worth your time to think about, like; PSALM 3:2: "Selah. O Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise against me!" or PSALM 46:6: "Selah. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."

 The main thing that is apparent is that makes us pause to consider that He is the answer to all of our lives; whatever we are dealing with, and no matter how bad things might appear, He is the ANSWER for all of life's issues and circumstances: Period...

""Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask anything you want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father."" (John 15:5-8 NLT)
