TRANSIENCY;
PERMANENCE

A beauty salon ad recently defined a term which has long needed clarification. It read: “Permanent Waves. Guaranteed to last three months.” So, permanence is the quality of lasting three months! These may be extreme cases, but they illustrate the transiency of men’s hopes and the brevity of their dreams apart from God.

James 4:13–14
