My sister just wrote something to me in an e-mail that is such a nugget from heaven, I just have to share it with you all. She wrote:
"Then my thoughts went to how some people who have a place of prominence; people we might see on TV who are supposedly Christians; wear necklaces with crosses on them.
And immediately The Lord put this in my heart....We are to be CARRYING our crosses; not WEARING them.
Simple; but so true.....
We LIKE to make that cross teeny and tiny and manageable, a VERY RELIGIOUS thing to do; because it gives us and others THE IMPRESSION that we are 'carrying' and mindful of the cross; but our crosses are MUCH BIGGER than a little piece that can be worn as jewelry. Selah."
Luke 9:23 :
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
There are a lot of estimations on what 'Selah' means, but the one that seems to have been the majority opinion is that it is a musical term indicating a pause, or rest. Thus, when psalmists wrote 'Selah' after a sentence - it is taken that they wanted their hearers or readers to pause and truly consider what was just said.

I hope this helps!
