Quick answer
We should proclaim God's steadfast love each morning and His faithfulness each night. Praise should mark the whole rhythm of daily life.
Overview
Morning and evening frame the day with declarations of God's covenant love (chesed) and faithfulness, the twin pillars of His character toward His people. This continual praise echoes the daily temple sacrifices and shapes a life oriented around God's reliability. Christ's people likewise live in unbroken gratitude for love and faithfulness fully revealed at the cross.
