DAY TWENTY-SIX<br />
MORNING - Beginning <strong>the</strong> day <strong>with</strong> praise & thanksgiving<br />
PSALM 105:23-44 ~ ²³ Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob was a<br />
stranger in <strong>the</strong> land of Ham. 24 And he increased his people<br />
exceedingly, and made <strong>the</strong>m stronger than <strong>the</strong>ir enemies, 25 Whose<br />
heart he turned, so that <strong>the</strong>y hated his people, and dealt deceitfully<br />
<strong>with</strong> his servants. 26 Then he sent Moses his servant, and Aaron whom<br />
he had chosen, 27 And <strong>the</strong>y worked his signs among <strong>the</strong>m, and<br />
wonders in <strong>the</strong> land of Ham. 28 He sent darkness, and it was dark; but<br />
<strong>the</strong>y were not obedient to his word. <strong>29</strong> He turned <strong>the</strong>ir waters into<br />
blood and caused <strong>the</strong>ir fish to die. 30 Their land brought forth frogs,<br />
even in <strong>the</strong>ir kings’ chambers. 31 He spoke <strong>the</strong> word, and <strong>the</strong>re came<br />
all manner of flies, and gnats in all <strong>the</strong>ir borders. ³² He gave <strong>the</strong>m<br />
hailstones for rain, and flames of fire in <strong>the</strong>ir land. ³³ He smote <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
vines also, and <strong>the</strong>ir fig trees, and destroyed <strong>the</strong> trees that were in<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir borders. 34 He spoke <strong>the</strong> word, and <strong>the</strong> grasshoppers came, and<br />
locusts innumerable, which ate up all <strong>the</strong> grass in <strong>the</strong>ir land and<br />
devoured <strong>the</strong> fruit of <strong>the</strong>ir ground. 35 He smote all <strong>the</strong> firstborn in<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir land, even <strong>the</strong> firstfruits of all <strong>the</strong>ir strength. 36 He brought forth<br />
Israel <strong>with</strong> silver and gold; in all <strong>the</strong>ir tribes <strong>the</strong>re was not one who<br />
stumbled. 37 Egypt was glad at <strong>the</strong>ir departing, for <strong>the</strong>y were afraid of<br />
<strong>the</strong>m. 38 He spread out a cloud to be a covering, and fire to give light<br />
in <strong>the</strong> night season. 39 At <strong>the</strong>ir desire he brought quail, and he filled<br />
<strong>the</strong>m <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> bread of heaven. 40 He opened <strong>the</strong> rock, and <strong>the</strong> waters<br />
flowed out, so that rivers ran in <strong>the</strong> dry places. 41 For he remembered<br />
his holy promise and Abraham his servant. 42 And he brought forth his<br />
people <strong>with</strong> joy, and his chosen ones <strong>with</strong> gladness, 43 And gave <strong>the</strong>m<br />
<strong>the</strong> lands of <strong>the</strong> nations, and <strong>the</strong>y took <strong>the</strong> labors of <strong>the</strong> peoples in<br />
possession, 44 That <strong>the</strong>y might keep his statutes and observe his laws.<br />
Praise <strong>the</strong> Lord.<br />
NOON - Pausing to remember that God is in charge<br />
PSALM 106:24-46 ~ 24 Then <strong>the</strong>y scorned that pleasant land and gave<br />
no credence to his word, 25 But murmured in <strong>the</strong>ir tents and did not<br />
hearken to <strong>the</strong> voice of <strong>the</strong> Lord. 26 Then he lifted up his hand against<br />
