As the Summer rolls along, we continue through the Book of Psalms. The Psalms are a collection of poems, prayers, & hymns comprising the core of ancient Biblical spirituality. Made of a variety of styles, covering a range of emotions, they can be a significant help for our spiritual lives today. We often feel rushed and hurried, with so much to do
that we are unable/unwilling to slow down. Part of the beauty of the Psalms is that they offer more than just information to glean, but the opportunity to encounter God amid the words, and be impacted beyond the surface level of our lives. Some Psalms, including today’s Psalm 46, include a funny little word that we generally ignore, yet this Hebrew word “Selah”, may be the key to experiencing the power of praying in the Psalms.
