Daily Light - Morning
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of
the former...and in this place will I give peace.

The house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. - The glory of the LORD...filled the LORD's house.

Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up... He spake of the temple of his body. - That which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. - 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. - God...hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. - The Prince of Peace. - He is our peace. - The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Daily Light - Evening
Let us put on
the armour of light.

Put...on the Lord Jesus Christ. - That I may win Christ, and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. - The righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe.

He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness. - I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

Ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light... And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them... But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light... Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly.

Of Free Will
Chapter 9
PARAGRAPH 3

​Man, by his fall into a state of sin, hath wholly lost all ability of will to any spiritual good accompanying salvation; so as a natural man, being altogether averse from that good, and dead in sin, is not able by his own strength to convert himself, or to prepare himself thereunto.

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
Is your watch keeping good time?
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom - Psalm 90 v 12
I have found, by some experience, that in the country here my watch does not go so well as it used to do in town. By small and gradual changes I find it either gains or loses, and I am surprised to find myself different in time from all the world, and, what is worse, from the sun. The simple explanation is, that in town I met with a steeple in every street, and a good going clock upon it; and so any aberration in my watch were soon noticed and easily corrected. And just so I sometimes think it may be with that inner watch, whose hand point not to time but to eternity. By gradual and slow changes the wheels of my soul lag behind, or the springs of passion become too powerful; and I have no living timepiece with which I may amend my going. You will say that I always have the sun: And so it should be; but we may have many clouds which obscure the sun from our weak eyes.
