David's Prudence in Settling Affairs
Historical Account★★★★Prudence: David, in arranging his business, sets a good example to all who are advances in years, to settle their matters while they are capable of doing so, that when they shall be drawing near to death, and their mental faculties are dimmed, they shall have nothing of a worldly nature to divert their minds from God.
Ellen G White, 1 SP 390.
The point
