    My sister just wrote something to me in an e-mail that is such a nugget from heaven, I just have to share it with you all. She wrote:

    "Then my thoughts went to how some people who have a place of prominence; people we might see on TV who are supposedly Christians; wear necklaces with crosses on them.

    And immediately The Lord put this in my heart....We are to be CARRYING our crosses; not WEARING them.

    Simple; but so true.....

    We LIKE to make that cross teeny and tiny and manageable, a VERY RELIGIOUS thing to do; because it gives us and others THE IMPRESSION that we are 'carrying' and mindful of the cross; but our crosses are MUCH BIGGER than a little piece that can be worn as jewelry. Selah."

    Luke 9:23 :

    And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

    What is the meaning of "SELAH."
  • Kay - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Hi Abisola,

    There are a lot of estimations on what 'Selah' means, but the one that seems to have been the majority opinion is that it is a musical term indicating a pause, or rest. Thus, when psalmists wrote 'Selah' after a sentence - it is taken that they wanted their hearers or readers to pause and truly consider what was just said.

    I hope this helps!

    Blessings!
