YOUR QUIET TIME (4)
"I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill. Selah."
Ps 3:4 NKJV
YOUR QUIET TIME (4)
Sometimes Jesus rose early in the morning to pray; other times, He prayed all night long. So, your quiet time can be morning, evening, or whatever time works best for you. You're not punching a time clock where God pays you; accordingly, He is inviting you to spend time with Him. David said, "I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill. Selah." Throughout the Psalms, this little word "Selah" occurs seventy-one different times. It means to pause and think. There is no specific length of time attached to the pause. Instead, it seems left up to the individual. Selah. It's a call to rest and reflect, to be still and breathe deeply, to settle into the moment and remain for a while. The Selah thought appears to be at the center of quiet time with the Lord. When the Lord says, "Selah," He is saying, "Stop doing, and sit at My feet. Just belong to Me." What an invitation! It's everything you have longed for and everything you need. And believe it or not, people who often have the hardest time doing it are involved in ministry. Like Martha, they excel when it comes to serving. And the danger is that by doing lots of things for the Lord, we feel like that excuses us form sitting at His feet and spending time with Him as Mary did. If you have been remiss, negligent, or inconsistent in this, reestablish your quiet time with the Lord and refuse to let anything keep you from it.
