Meditation:
Teach us to number our days aright,
    that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
    —Psalm 90:12 (NIV)
Quotation:
    God hath given to man a short time here upon earth, and yet upon this short time eternity depends; but so that for every hour of our life, after we are persons capable of laws and know good from evil, we must give account to the great Judge of men and angels.
