Word for Today

Scriptures from the Holy Bible (with commentary)
King James (Authorised) Version of 1611
Word for Today is part of an active ministry
working in Jesus' Name that tries to take an earnest look at some of
the depth and grandeur, as
well
as the undeniable truth, of God and His Holy Word. If it causes someone
to discover other meanings and/or applications which may be applied to
their circumstance, so much the better. That would simply show the Word
at its wonderful work in the life of the hearer. In any such instances
feedback will be appreciated, that more may be edified, and Grace be
found
more abounding to us all. Thanks for letting us share with you today.
May
love always abound in your life with the Lord!

Most editions include "Selah", commentary & notes.
The Psalms are often used for meditation,
reflection,
inspiration, counseling- well, for everything that is good, to be sure!
There is a word found frequently among them that has passed through the
centuries and calls to us to take our time, carefully consider what
we are learning or reading, and consciously consider the meaning
thereof
: "Selah".
Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary defines it thusly: "A term of
uncertain meaning found in the Hebrew text of the Psalms and Habakkuk
carried
over untranslated into some English versions."
Simply reading it in the context of its usage, however, it readily
appears
to mean think soberly and sincerely about these
things; that is to say, what is being read. Indeed, some
modern Bibles define it to mean "pause, and consider these things".
