Morning
Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
By the word of thy lips I have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer. Hold up my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip not.--When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light.--Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.--We have also a . . . sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place.--Now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.--They need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
17:4,5 ,23
Evening
What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise.
This [is] not [your] rest: . . . it is polluted, it shall destroy [you].--Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.--If riches increase, set not your heart [upon them].--Set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore.
Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.-- Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.-- Yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.--Now [it is] high time to awake out of sleep: for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed.--Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
