Book of Mormon [ALMA 36-38] Insights
“Look to God and Live”
July 29 – August 4 2024
WEEK 30: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week, Alma’s life is coming to an end, and a great war with the Lamanites is just beginning. To prepare his sons, Alma will invite each to hear his counsel individually. First, he’ll talk to his oldest son, Helaman. He’ll teach him about the importance of his personal deliverance story in a beautiful, deliberate chiasmus. Next, he’ll give him instructions on deepening his own testimony by keeping the plates and preserving the stories of the past. His counsel to his second son, Shiblon, will focus on the joy that comes to our lives when we are diligent, steady, and sure. The messages are unique, but both focus our eyes firmly on the power and promise of Jesus Christ.
Questions to Consider:
Alma 37:12 | How can something be straight and also round? Are there symbols in scripture or the temple that help you understand what this phrase might mean?
Alma 37:38-46 | What do you think the Liahona represents? The Holy Ghost, patriarchal blessings, something else? Have you had experiences when you “tarried” in the wilderness? How did you get out of them?
Alma 38:15 & 37:47 | What do you think it means to be sober regarding the gospel of Jesus Christ? How did Christ demonstrate this attribute for us?

I love your great insights & experiences!

Your explanation of chiasmus is powerful. I had never considered looking at it from a mountain climbing perspective, but your description resonated with me greatly, and I thank you! These insightful presentations are a beautiful gift you are leaving your children, and the next generation.❤

Maria, can you kindly add the option to go back or forward 15 seconds? I am forever scrolling back to rehear a precious insight, or when I'm having my own spark moments. That would be much appreciated. 🙏🙏🙏

I’d like to share a poem with you that I wrote a couple of years ago at one of my pinnacle moments. Renewal With grateful heart I greet the day As darkness flees from golden light And all illusions of the night With every blink dissolve away. And yet, betimes when day is done My burdened heart asylum seeks As crim-sun over mountain peeks, To blessed slumber I succumb. Divine design hath made it thus- This cycle known to mortal men; Retire, recover, rise again… The ebb and flow of life we trust. The march of time in cadence strong Cannot be altered on its way. Each trial or triumph of today Becomes a mem’ry ere too long. Remember, then, ye weary-worn ~ The God of matter, time, and space Has put the sequence into place That each day we can be reborn. Come! Lay your burdens at His feet! With power and compassion, He Will lessen them or strengthen thee, The challenge of each day to meet.
