Morning:
Take thou also unto thee principal spices,
and thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment.
Upon man’s flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye
make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is
holy, and it shall be holy unto you. One Spirit. Diversities
of gifts, but the same Spirit.
Thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above
thy fellows. God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost
and with power. God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto
him.
Of his fulness have all we received. As the same anointing
teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and
even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. He which
stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is
God; who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the
Spirit in our hearts.
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such
there is no law.

Evening:
The fashion of this world passeth away.
All the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine
years: and he died.
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
but the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of
the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen
with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower
thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth:
so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. For what is
your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little
time, and then vanisheth away. The world passeth away, and the
lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for
ever.
LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days,
what it is; that I may know how frail I am. When they shall
say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should
overtake you as a thief.
