Life is so short, 80 years = 29,200 days, 4,160 weeks, 960 months!!!!!
The Bible compares short-lived life to:
1. A pilgrimage (Genesis 47:9)
2. Water spilled on the ground (2 Samuel 14:14)
3. Wind (Job 7:7)
4. A passing cloud (Job 7:9)
5. A weaver's shuttle (Job 7:6)
6. A shadow (Job 14:2; Psalm 144:4)
7. Flowers that fade away (Job 14:2; Psalm 103:15; Isaiah 40:6-8; James 1:10; 1 Peter 1:24; Psalm 90:5)
8. Grass that dies (Psalm 37:2; Psalm 90:5-6; 1 Peter 1:24)
9. Green herbs that wither (Psalm 37:2)
10. Nothing (Psalm 39:5)
11. A dream (Psalm 73:20)
12. Sleep that is soon over (Psalm 90:5)
13. Vanity (Psalm 144:4)
14. A vapor (James 4:14)
Stop wasting time, energy, money, and relationships for useless things. Your life is a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes (Jam 4:14).
Brevity of life can be lengthened by obedience and faith. There is no set day for man to die (Exodus 20:12; Psalm 91; Proverbs 3:16; Proverbs 9:11; 1 Corinthians 11:30; Ephesians 6:2; 1 Peter 3:10-11).
