Yes and Amen!

     The word, “Amen” is a universal word. There is no other way to say it in every culture. When we say, “Amen” after a prayer or after hearing a sermon, we are agreeing wholeheartedly with what has just been said. It means, “Yes, let it be so.”

     The Jewish people traveled to Jerusalem for the annual feasts. As they traveled up the hills to the temple, they would sing and speak the Psalms of ascent, followed by “Amen!”  Let it be so that we may praise the Lord and glorify His name.

Praise be to His glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen.  Psalm 72:19

Praise be to the Lord forever! Amen and Amen! Psalm 89:52

Jesus,

We say “Yes” and “Amen!” to You every day as we sing Your praises. May the whole earth be filled with Your glory.

Amen and Amen
