• Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will
  be. Remind me that my days are numbered how
  fleeting my life is. You have made my life no
  longer than the width of my hand. My entire
  lifetime is just a moment to You at best, each
  of us is but a breath. Psalm 394-5

• Life is short.

• Now listen, you who say, Today or tomorrow we
  will go to this or that city, spend a year there,
  carry on business and make money. Why, you do
  not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is
  your life? You are a mist that appears for a
  little while and then vanishes.

5

• Instead, you ought to say, If it is the Lord's
  will, we will live and do this or that. As it
  is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is
  evil. Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought
  to do and doesn't do it, sins.
• James 413-17
