And
the truth of the LORD endures forever. Psalm 117:2 NKJV
Our meditations on the Lord’s Prayer have
daily revealed to us the great treasures God has given to His people. Each phrase has revealed a jewel that adds
great value to our daily walk with God.
That is no less so in what we find at the end, a simple word that means
so much and assures us of such great promises.
When Jesus pronounced the Amen He wasn’t just telling us to open our
eyes and get on with our day; He was making a powerful declaration to His
Church.
Amen means “So be it”. In the modern vernacular it could be
expressed by saying, “All the goods promised are signed, sealed and
delivered.” Jesus said that the jewels
of this prayer are true and that He had put His own stamp of authority on
them. “Count on it”, He says. We can
carry these jewels with us every day, hold them in our hands, use them and
remind ourselves that we are not paupers.
We are repeating to God His very own words and promises and God’s word
is true forever. Amen.
Precious
Father, We thank You for this precious casket of jewels and please help us to
treasure them as we should. Amen.
The
Friday Benediction
Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop
you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in
the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be
enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend. Amen
