SELAH, MY CHILD
SONG DEVOTIONAL
Beloved, Selah; to pause, to consider, and think on these things! Throughout our pilgrim journey, Almighty God calls us not merely to pass through life's joys, trials, blessings, disappointments, victories, and tears, but to consider and meditate on what the Lord is teaching us through them all prayerfully. Nothing that ever enters the life of God's child is outside of His ETERNAL sovereign knowledge and agape loving care. Whether my circumstance appears favorable or unfavorable, our Heavenly Father can use it to disciple us, teach us, and continually conform us into the image of His precious Son (Rom. 8:28–29).
Like a faithful disciple sitting at the feet of his Master, we must learn to slow our hearts and pay attention to God's working. Selah! What is Almighty God teaching me? What does His Word say? How is He exposing something in my heart, strengthening my faith, correcting my thinking, or teaching me to depend more completely upon Him? As we meditate upon His Word and abide in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit faithfully teaches us and transforms our thinking. Instead of allowing the noise and confusion of this fallen world to control our minds, we choose to “think on these things”; things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report (Phil. 4:8).
Beloved, Selah! Stop and consider the wondrous faithfulness of Almighty God throughout your pilgrim journey. Remember His past faithfulness, recognize His present working, and confidently trust Him with everything yet ahead. Our ETERNAL Faithful Shepherd wastes absolutely nothing! Every mountain and valley can become a classroom of discipleship when our hearts are listening. So pause, meditate upon His precious Word, consider His wonderful works, and think on these things!

DEVOTIONAL QUESTIONS
Am I taking time to stop and consider what Almighty God is teaching me through my present circumstances?
What has our Heavenly Father been showing me recently through His Word and His working in my life?
What can I intentionally set my mind upon today that is true, ETERNAL, and centered upon my precious Lord Jesus?
PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
Teach me to pause, listen, and recognize Your faithful working in my pilgrim life. Help me meditate upon Your precious Word, learn as Your disciple, and continually set my heart and mind upon Jesus.
We praise You, Heavenly Father, and thank You in Jesus' precious name; even so, come, Lord Jesus. Amen.
