8-4-11   “He Did Deliver Me From Bondage” p.44, Day 7

Alma 5:13         What does true and living God mean to me?  Where am I putting my trust? Where do I turn for comfort and strength?  Sometimes anger.  Sometimes prayer.  I need to pray more.



TRUE, a.

2. Genuine; pure; real; not counterfeit, adulterated or false; as true balsam; the true bark; true love of country; a true christian.

--The true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. John 1.

3. Faithful; steady in adhering to friends, to promises, to a prince or to the state; loyal; not false, fickle or perfidious; as a true friend; a true lover; a man true to his king, true to his country, true to his word; a husband true to his wife; a wife true to her husband; a servant true to his master; an officer true to his charge.

4. Free from falsehood; as a true witness.

5. Honest; not fraudulent; as good men and true.

If king Edward be as true and just--

6. Exact; right to precision; conformable to a rule or pattern; as a true copy; a true likeness of the original.

God is faithful and true.  He is loyal and will keep all his promises.  He gives genuine love and acceptance.  His balm is true and the only true bark that can heal my malady.  He is a true friend.  I hope to be a true servant.  True, straight, perfect character; a true pattern made exact with precision.  When I think about the process God when through to become God I see and have gained a witness that it is the same process I am going through.

These were not the definitions I thought I’d find.  My understanding of what I thought these words meant were different than what they really meant.  I wonder if the bible dictionary would pull up something different.  But I’m out of time for today!  To be continued till tomorrow.
