Ephesians 5:15–16 (NASB95)
15 Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,
16 making the most of your time, because the days are evil.

1. Recognize That Life is

Psalm 39:4 (NIV84)
4 “Show me, O Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life.

Psalm 78:39 (NIV84)
39 He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.


James 4:13–17 (NASB95)
13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.”
14 Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.
15 Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.”
16 But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil.
17 Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.
