MORNING 

A servant of Jesus Christ.  

Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. — If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. — Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. — Being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. — Thou art no more a servant, but a son.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh.

EVENING 

I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel.  

His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor.  — Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding, I have strength. — Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. — Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. — 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. — Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established. — He knoweth the way that I take. — Man's goings are of the Lord: how can a man then understand his own way?

Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. — This God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
