2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change And though the mountains be shaken and slip into the heart of the seas,

Selah means pause and think on that.

I believe this is where we are at this time.  In this season, our world may feel like it’s shaking on every side and that we're like ships at sea being tossed to and fro in this open water of life, in the ocean of life. 

But we have an anchor, we have a solid...
