2 Cor. 4 16-18

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Death waits for nobody

Death is a mighty leveler. He spares none and he waits for none. He will not wait until you are ready. Doors, bars, and locks will not keep him out. A person boasts that their home is their castle, but with all their boasting, they cannot exclude death. An Austrian nobleman would not allow death and the smallpox to be named in his presence. But, named or not named, it matters little, in God's appointed hour death will come.
J.C. Ryle
