“Many of Whom Were Pressing Forward”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Lehi beheld “numberless concourses of people, many of whom were pressing forward, that they might obtain the path which led unto the tree by which [he] stood.” It is just so today. Multitudes of the earth's inhabitants respond regularly to the Light of Christ and seek to know more of the will of him whose they are. They seek to get on that path which leads directly to peace here and eternal life hereafter. But navigating the strait and narrow path takes care and caution. One's eyes must ever be fixed upon the Lord and his glory, and thus the traveler must be willing to forsake the extraneous and the unnecessary things which the world offers so readily.
