B. God has allotted us certain days upon the earth.
1. He knows your appointed time, He knows how your death will occur.
2. As He watches us lay out plans that exclude Him, how many times does He say "Thou fool, this night, within a week, before this New Year is past thy soul."
C. Let my activities be governed by the consciousness of eternity.
