MORNING
It is good for me to draw near to God.
Psalm 73:28

Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. — A day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. — Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. — Therefore will the Lord wait that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us: … let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience.

EVENING
Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 8:9

The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. — Thou are fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips. — All bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth.

Ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. — He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself. — We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen.

O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. — I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. — Unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. — As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
