THE SELAH JOURNAL

It all began with a problem I had while studying the Bible using a regular note book as a journal at that time. I realised I was limited to the designs as provided by the notebook and then the thoughts came "how awesome would it be if someone can design their Bible Study Journal to their taste", however this thought was ignored for months.

However, I shared this thoughts with a few friends and as God will have it, in 2022, we started making plans in actually designing a journal.

We knew what we wanted to do but we didn't have a name for it and so we knew the only way to get a name was to ask the One who had inspired this dream. And so in August 2022, we received from the Lord the name Selah.

After making some researches, we found out that Selah means to take a pause as in a music. For instance, you are playing a music or reading a poem, Selah means pausing to meditate on that which you have just heard or read.

The Selah Journal, has its birthing from the word Selah which basically means to PAUSE, REST, DWELL OR THINK THROUGH something.

We realised that this world being noisy with a billion and one things ready to distract us daily is not what God wants for us. Rather, He wants the quietness of our fellowship and surrender.

That's why the Bible in Isaiah 30:15 says "This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength...".

The Selah Journal is a journal where you write down all you get from dwelling and thinking through fellowship and from resting in the embrace of your dearest Lover, Jesus!
