Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 4:5

"Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD."

This reminded me of king Lamoni's father and giving up all his sins. We have to give them all up, even our favorite ones. That is the sacrifice we make in righteousness.

"O God, Aaron hath told me that there is a God; and if there is a God, and if thou art God, wilt thou make thyself known unto me, and I will give away all my sins to know thee, and that I may be raised from the dead, and be saved at the last day. And now when the king had said these words, he was struck as if he were dead."

(Alma 22:18)

Lamoni's father was not dead but he was under the power of God and it overcame his natural frame. Just like what happened to his son Lamoni.

"Now, this was what Ammon desired, for he knew that king Lamoni was under the power of God; he knew that the dark veil of unbelief was being cast away from his mind, and the light which did light up his mind, which was the light of the glory of God, which was a marvelous light of his goodness—yea, this light had infused such joy into his soul, the cloud of darkness having been dispelled, and that the light of everlasting life was lit up in his soul, yea, he knew that this had overcome his natural frame, and he was carried away in God"

(Alma 19:6)

The people of Ammon were so converted to the gospel that they never strayed. They instilled great faith in the Lord to their children. They were a people greatly bless of the Lord, because they gave up all the sins and were fully converted to God.
