Amen comes from the Hebrew word for Aman, which the words faithful and true are from. "The God of Amen" is an Old Testament title for God (Isa. 65:16) This is cited from Knowing God by Name by Mary A. Kassian, page 48.
This was part of my study this morning and it is a truth that I intend to hang on to. I love the thought of knowing the deeper meaning behind saying "Amen" at the the end of prayers. Sometimes we get in such a habit of doing something, we just forget why we do it. When we are saying "Amen" we are saying "Yes God! You are true. You are faithful. Your way will be done!!! You are trustworthy and I trust myself with you.
"The Lord's faithfulness is established (Ps. 89:2), incomparable (Ps. 146:6). And even if we mess up and are unfaithful to Him, His faithfulness to us will endure." (Knowing God by Name) AMEN!!!
