Selah, [celah], is from the primary Hebrew root word [calah] which literally means 'to hang,' and by implication to measure (weigh). This is readily understood because in Biblical history, money, food and other valuables were 'weighed' by hanging or suspending them on a type of balance (the equivalent of our measuring scale) to determine their value.

Hebrew Shalom .....  Completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord.

There is so much unrest in my spirit.  My mind is on overdrive and I’m uneasy.  It’s like an illfitting pair of pants that creep up where they don’t belong, but in public you do not get to make adjustments.

Love love why do I worship you.

Are you the source of creation or it’s outcome?

What is it in me that causes me to be so disturbed

What pain my heart causes me.

The pressure on my breast is mounting

And I have nothing for relief

Sweet yearning fills me and I weep

Is a quenching coming near?

Perhaps it’s my imagination

Perhaps just indigestion

But no ‘tis my heart

Desireing to be given out.

This pain is pleasant

Even in it’s sorrow

But can I simply surrender

And wait for my Lord’s will?
