• Psalm 90:9-17
  For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
  We finish our years like a sigh.
  The days of our lives are seventy years;
  And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
  Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
  For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
  Who knows the power of Your anger?
  For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
  So teach us to number our days,
  That we may gain a heart of wisdom. Return, O LORD!
  How long?
  And have compassion on Your servants.
  Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy,
  That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
  Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us,
  The years in which we have seen evil.
  Let Your work appear to Your servants,
  And Your glory to their children.
  And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us,
  And establish the work of our hands for us;
  Yes, establish the work of our hands.
   
• Ephesians 5:15-21
  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, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.
   
• Matthew 6:31-34
  'Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
   
• Matthew 6:24-29
  “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
   
• 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.
   
• Matthew 25:1-13
  "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. "And at midnight a cry was heard: "Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!" Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, "Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out." But the wise answered, saying, "No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves." And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. "Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, "Lord, Lord, open to us!" But he answered and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you." "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
   
• 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.
   
• James 4:14
  whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
   
• 1 John 2:15-17
  Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
   
• Psalm 39:4-5
  “LORD, make me to know my end,
  And what is the measure of my days,
  That I may know how frail I am.
  Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
  And my age is as nothing before You;
  Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. Selah
  
   
• Ecclesiastes 2:14
  The wise man’s eyes are in his head,
  But the fool walks in darkness.

• Ecclesiastes 12:1-5
  Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth,
  Before the difficult days come,
  And the years draw near when you say,
  "I have no pleasure in them":
  While the sun and the light,
  The moon and the stars,
  Are not darkened,
  And the clouds do not return after the rain;
  In the day when the keepers of the house tremble,
  And the strong men bow down;
  When the grinders cease because they are few,
  And those that look through the windows grow dim;
  When the doors are shut in the streets,
  And the sound of grinding is low;
  When one rises up at the sound of a bird,
  And all the daughters of music are brought low.
  Also they are afraid of height,
  And of terrors in the way;
  When the almond tree blossoms,
  The grasshopper is a burden,
  And desire fails.
  For man goes to his eternal home,
  And the mourners go about the streets.
  
   
• Luke 10:40-42
  But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.” And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
   
• Luke 12:20-21

• 2 Peter 3:10-12
  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

  “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

• Ecclesiastes 1:14-18
  I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

  And what is lacking cannot be numbered. I communed with my heart, saying, "Look, I have attained greatness, and have gained more wisdom than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My heart has understood great wisdom and knowledge." And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind.

  And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
