• Ephesians 5:14-18
    Therefore He says:
    " Awake, you who sleep,
    Arise from the dead,
    And Christ will give you light." See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,
     
  • Romans 13:11-14
    And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
     
  • Psalm 90:12
    So teach us to number our days,
    That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
     
  • 2 Corinthians 6:1-2
    We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says:
    "In an acceptable time I have heard you,
    And in the day of salvation I have helped you." Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
     
  • Isaiah 55:6
    Seek the LORD while He may be found,
    Call upon Him while He is near.
