[Manna - December 16]
How long halt ye between two opinions?
If the Lord be God, follow Him: but if Baal, follow him. 1 Kings 18:21
WE need to have some touchstone, as it were, some
matter which will help us to decide, which will enable
the mind to reach a decision quickly.
This touchstone
should be God's will; so that to perceive the
Lord's will in respect to any question would be to
settle it—as quickly as discerned....Ability to decide
quickly, and to decide always on the right side,
what the Lord's will is, requires some experience and
discipline; but the sooner we begin the sooner we will
become proficient.
The more energetically we set
ourselves to know the Lord's will and to do it, and
to show Him by our promptness that we delight to do
His will, the better and the more quickly will we find
our characters established on proper lines. Z. '02-42 R2950:5
