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. — James 4:14

James calls life a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Job said his days are swifter than a runner. A thousand years are like a watch in the night. Man is born to trouble and quickly passes away. But here's the hope: the world is passing away with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
