There seem to be many traditions and examples of praising God in the morning and in the evening.  Several songs even come to mind:

"Praise Him in the morning, Praise Him in the evening, Praise him when I'm young and when I'm old."

"From the rising of the sun, til the sun goes down, let the name of the Lord be praised!"

I was recently introduced to the book by Charles Spurgeon called Morning and Evening, and I absolutely love it!  Each day has a morning and evening devotion.  When I read first thing in the morning, it immediately awakens my mind to the depth of my relationship with Jesus.  In the evening, it sets my mind once again on my Father above, not on my earthly circumstances.  Charles Spurgeon has a way of blowing your mind wide open with only one sentence!

What does Spurgeon have to say about praise?

"It is not an option for us whether or not we will praise God.  Praise is God's most righteous due, and every Christian, as the recipient of His grace, is bound to praise God from day to day.  With every morning's dawn, lift up your notes of thanksgiving, and let every setting sun be followed with your song.  Belt the earth with your praises; surround it with an atmosphere of melody, and God Himself will hearken from heaven and accept your music."

Can I get an Amen??
