How long halt ye between two opinions? If Jehovah 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 Jehovah'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 Jehovah'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 Jehovah'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. -- Excerpt from "Decision in Character Building", The Watch Tower, February 1, 1902, page 41. Edited to present God's Holy Name as "Jehovah."
