Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.

Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.—“The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.”—Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.

“‘Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.—And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

But you are the same, and your years have no end.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

“For I theLorddo not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.”—Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.—For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind.—The steadfast love of theLordnever ceases; his mercies never come to an end.

But he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.—“Fear not, I am the first and the last.”
