Morning
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. § A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in 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 device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.
“Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” ... “Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?” So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
What is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. § The world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

Evening
You are the same, and Your years will have no end.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. I am the Lord, I do not change; therefore you are not consumed. § Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. § The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. § God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. § Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.
But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. § Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.
