Reflections

Throughout the book of Psalms one reads the word "Selah."  It is a word we do not use in our western culture.  Although, I had a dog named Selah once.  The word means to pause or to rest.  It is actually used in reference to music.  It is important that each of us take time each week to "Selah."  Why?  Because in resting, we look back over the events of the last week so we can see God's activity in our lives and also see any inconsistencies that may be surfacing in our lives.
Here are some “Selah” moments I am celebrating:

• Denver Broncos are 5-0 (Just kidding).
• Seeing all the church (I mean all - young and old) working together last Wednesday to get ready for the remodel project.
• The Life and Joy of the Spirit in the service Sunday.
• Testimonies of at least three individuals who made decisions to follow Christ.
• I am grateful for this church family and the privilege of serving them.  Thanks for the fellowship time and gift Sunday night.
• The leadership team that I am a part of.  These guys are incredible.
• Life Groups that are growing together.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 - "No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."
