The word 'Selah' in the book of Psalms seem to imply a brief moment of silence, a rest in a flurry of musical notes and poetry, a pause for the musicians to take a breather, a moment for the priests to sacrifice their offerings before the Lord. Here, Selah Moment is a collection of our moments of reflection; of the silent pauses in our journey of faith.

Nature's Masterpieces

Note: Nature has a way of displaying to us the majesty of God's creation. These geo-rock formations are formed over hundreds of years as the earth slowly erodes from constant slow wind, blowing their way. Who says the rock is stronger than the wind? It is in such beauty that we are reminded of God's true majesty. With each magnificent sculture that gets formed, these ever-changing masterpieces seem to take delight in giving Him glory.

Note: If i could ever be a flower, i want to be just like these lilac beauties. Bobbing and swaying in the wind, in unison harmonies, giving praise to their Maker. It doesn't matter that they are growing wild by the roadside, it doesn't matter if no one tends to them. It certainly doesn't bother them if one heavy human should trample or a cheeky dog should pee on them. They do just what they were created for - stand tall, and show off their beauty and glorify their God! =)

Note: I stumbled upon this flower growing somewhat wild and unkempt beside a garbage bin. It was too pretty not to photograph. So, squatting next to the bin, i snapped my photos, much to the surprise of the Taiwanese and tourists alike. How can i miss on a such a beauty? Then it struck me everywhere all over the world, people overlook people who live marginalised, ignored and forgotten beside garbage bins and trash heaps. Each life, however, is beautiful and treasured by their Creator.
These make me think then, Who am i? what was i created for? What can i do that will bring God the greatest delight?
