| Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. (Prov. 27:1) |
| This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee. (Luke 12:18,20) |
| A man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. (Luke 12:15) |
What will it profit, when life here is o’er,
Though gathering riches and fame,
If, gaining the world, I lose my own soul,
And in heaven unknown is my name? |
What will it profit? My soul, stop and think!
What balance that day will declare:
Life’s record laid bare and “gain” turn to loss,
Eternally left to despair. |
