*1.* “But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”   *2* “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” *3* “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.” *4* “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens”
