Selah.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selah

Selah (Hebrew: סֶלָה‎, also transliterated as selāh) is a word usedfrequently in the Hebrew Bible, often in the Psalms, and is adifficult concept to translate. (It should not be confused with theHebrew word sela‘ (Hebrew: סֶלַע‎) which means “rock.”) It is probablyeither a liturgico-musical mark or an instruction on the reading ofthe text, something like “stop and listen”. “Selah” can also be usedto indicate that there is to be a musical interlude at that point inthe Psalm.[1] The Amplified Bible states Selah as “pause, and think ofthat”.

I like that the Hebrews had a word that meant “stop and listen”.

The next time your client shares their heart – selah.

The next time your eye catches a piece of art in a studio window – selah.

The next time your baby laughs – selah.

The next time your westbound at sunset – selah.

The next time an old friend calls – selah.

The next time you hear a bluebird sing – selah.

Great leaders selah. Great husbands/wives selah. Great dads/moms selah.

The world offers hidden music around every corner. Sometimes we just need to selah.

PS – Don’t miss the Hebrew saying you must stop before you can listen.
