Seventy-one times in the book of Psalms we read the word \u2018Selah\u2019<\/i> at the end of a Scripture. What does it mean? To \u2018pause and calmly think about it.\u2019 You can\u2019t rush into Bible revelation. You can\u2019t skim the surface and discover the treasure hidden within it. That\u2019s why David wrote, \u2018With my whole heart I seek You; let me not wander from Your commandments! I have stored up Your word in my heart, that I might not sin against You.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm 119:10\u201311\u00a0ESV) <\/p>\n
When you hide God\u2019s Word in your heart through meditation and memorisation, you\u2019re able to stand on it when you have a particular need. Meditation involves taking time to reflect; to \u2018pause and calmly think about it.\u2019 It\u2019s a time-tested method God put in place for you. He wants you to learn to pray the Scriptures and meditate on them because these habits will help you to experience<\/i> all He has for you. The most important thing you can ask yourself when you face life\u2019s challenges is, \u2018What does God say about this in His Word?\u2019 <\/p>\n
Why is asking that important? Read these two Scriptures, and you will find the answer: \u2018Your Word is settled in Heaven.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a0119:89\u00a0NKJV) <\/p>\n
\u2018The word of our God stands forever.\u2019<\/i> (Isaiah\u00a040:8\u00a0NKJV) God\u2019s Word is His will! <\/p>\n
When God called Jeremiah to leadership, Jeremiah had reservations about his ability. So God said, \u2018I have put My words in your mouth.\u2019<\/i> (Jeremiah\u00a01:9\u00a0NKJV) Then He told Jeremiah, \u2018I am ready to perform My word.\u2019<\/i> (Jeremiah\u00a01:12\u00a0NKJV) The only<\/i> thing you can count on for sure is that God will keep His Word. Selah!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
