“Selah.” Psalms
Some days, you as a mother, may feel like all you are doing is running from one task to the next with hardly a break in between. I remember those days. But one day, as I was reading the Psalms, I came across the little word Selah, which in the margin reads, “Pause,” or as another has rendered it, “Pause, and calmly think of that.” So, if you feel overwhelmed, it is good to take a deep breath, or two, and pause, and calmly think ... and let the Spirit bring a Psalm or hymn or verse to your mind to refresh you.
