“Why 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 New International Version
“Why 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.”
“For your Maker is your husband – the Lord Almighty is his name – the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.”
“We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.”
“In that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the creatures that move along the ground. Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land, so that all may lie down in safety.”
“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.”
“The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.”
“For seven days celebrate the Feast to the Lord your God at the place the Lord will choose. For the Lord your God will bless you in all harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete.”
Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”
“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you – even Jesus.”
“Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.”
