AMEN!!

The Book of Psalms is divided into five books.  It is interesting that each of these five books ends in a doxology!

   Book I -- Psalm 41:13---"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting.  Amen, and Amen."

   Book II -- Psalm 72:18-19---"Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.  And blessed be His glorious name for ever:and let the whole earth be filled with His glory: Amen, and Amen."

   Book III -- Psalm 89:52---"Blessed be the Lord for evermore."  Amen, and Amen,"

   Book IV -- Psalm 106:48---"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen."

   Book V -- Psalm 150:8---"Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.  Praise ye the Lord."

When we say "Amen", it means that we are in agreement with what is being said.  When King David delivered a Psalm of Thanksgiving for the return of the Ark of the Covenant, he said in I Chronicles 16:36:  "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for ever and ever.  And all the people said, Amen, and praised the Lord."

Nehemiah displayed great courage in restoring the wall at Jerusalem.  After it was finished, Nehemiah 8:6 says:  "And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God.  And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground."

So, tonight, when you go to the mid-week service at your church, why don't we all join in singing with the children:
     "If you're saved and you know it, say Amen--AMEN! 
         If you're saved and you know it, say Amen--AMEN!
     If you're saved and you know it, then your life will surely show it--
         If you're saved and you know it, say Amen--AMEN!"

And, by the way, your pastor would probably be encouraged if you would say a few hearty AMEN'S during his devotional, too!
Let's try it and see!!!
