Have you ever wondered why we say "Amen" at the end of our prayers?
In the daily office scripture readings for today, Paul is writing to the Corinthians Christians and reminds them that since God is always faithful, our only proper response is to say, "Amen" which means, "so be it" or "I agree."
In this past Sunday's sermon, I mentioned that God is always faithful to us and that our baptism is meant to remind us of God's faithfulness in our lives. Think of the many ways that God is faithful - a love that is unconditional and overflowing, joy and peace in the midst of trying times, guidance for when the way gets confusing, new beginnings and transformation, and blessings that sustain us in our day to day living.
Can I get an "amen" to that?
For in him every one of God’s promises is a “Yes.” For this reason it is through him that we say the “Amen,” to the glory of God. - II Corinthians 1:20
