Romans 13:11-12
And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed.The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
-
James 4:13-16
Come now, ye that say, To- day or to- morrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain:whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that.But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil.

Psalms 39:4-7
Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am.Behold, thou hast made my days as handbreadths; And my life- time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity.[ SelahSurely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

Psalms 90:5-10
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.For we are consumed in thine anger, And in thy wrath are we troubled.Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away.
-
Isaiah 40:6-8
The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field.The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, because the breath of Jehovah bloweth upon it; surely the people is grass.The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever.

2 Peter 3 8-2 Peter 3 9
But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you- ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
