Tell me what you say 'amen' to, and I'll tell you what spiritual state you are in

 "Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, 'Amen!' Praise the LORD!" (Psalm 106:48)

Sometimes, I notice on Facebook that some Christians say "amen" to posts that are foreign to the Holy Bible. We can say: "Tell me what you say 'amen' to, and I'll tell you what spiritual state you are in." A lover of God's Word will definitely say "amen" when they hear God's Word. They are able to discern God's Word from human interpretations, so they will not say "amen" when people preach their own thoughts.

One who praises the Lord in their heart will say "amen" when they hear others praising the Lord, speaking about His works, and giving thanks to Him. Someone who desires correction will say "amen" when they hear rebuking messages. One who eagerly awaits the coming of Jesus will say "amen" when they hear people discussing the need to be ready for His coming. A person with a prayerful heart will say "amen" when they hear right prayers and desires those prayers to be answered. They will also say "amen" when listening to a song whose lyrics are inspired by the Word of God.

The word "Amen" speaks volumes about the person who utters it.

In this psalm, the psalmist praises God, recounts His works, and expects God's people to respond with "amen".

"Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting!"

Let His children say "amen."
