I like to think that the yoke that we bear is our load in the service of God's will. So, every time that we wave to a neighbor, shakes hands with our friends (or others) with a warm greeting, or serve our fellow man/woman in some way ... we are on the path of righteousness, and more active missionary work and service is always appreciated. David Bednar also points out that sometimes we can get "distracted" ... which can mean many things (where we're not always in the center of the path, or sitting on a rock somewhere (doing nothing)). The Lord gives us the load that our backpack (yoke) can handle; but if we fill up the backpack with stuff we don't need (rocks, extra cans of lima beans), we may feel over-burdened and not always able to be "my brother's keeper." oriskanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770633222674118227noreply@blogger.com
