Selah Moments

An Idea came to me today as I was eating pizza. A selah moment!

A selah moment is when you stop what you are doing, pause, and reflect. Reflect about a facet of God. Something that you see in everyday life that shows you something more about God. Like seeing snow and wondering about the forgiveness of God, or seeing a sunset and reflecting on the short time we have to work in God's harvest field( the night commeth when no man can work). A "S.M." helps us to realize that the heavens DO declare the glory of God and to remember God in our daily lives.

But what if this were to be done by a youth pastor, for a teen group? The teens are at a bondfire activity and the youth pastor reminds the teens that God's Word is a consuming fire, or that our tongues are like a fire (What great a matter a little fire kindleth). Or they are on a missions trip to a big city, out shopping, the youth pastor stops them and shows them from the surrounding bustle how our lives can get so busy that we forget the important things, or that we can so easily become distracted by the world around us. What would this do to the teens sense of God's presence? Could this be done effectively, and what type of teen group would take to this the best?

Just a thought.
