Selah.

A short time ago I was reading Psalm 60 and came across verse 4:

"You have given a banner to those who fear You,
That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah"

At the time that I read it, I was struck by the "Selah."
According to Hebrew Lexicon (dictionary), the word definition is:

Selah: to lift up, exalt

and further:

From calah; suspension (of music), i.e. Pause -- Selah.

At the time that I read it, and today as I recall it, I'm grateful that the God of the Scriptures has a balance. There are times to go, and there are times to pause and think.
