• Much more wretchedness and perplexity result from doubting and hesitating than from occasionally moving too hastilyPM 86.2. 😟
• Slowness and sluggishness of action are significant character defects that can stand in the way of a person's usefulness to GodT25 53.1. 🐢
• While caution is often required, hesitancy and policy have sometimes been more disastrous than failing through rashnessT25 53.1+1. ⚠️
• Those who defer their obedience until every shadow of uncertainty is removed will never reach the point of true belief and obedienceT23 11.2+1. ☁️
