DAY NINETEEN<br />
MORNING - Beginning <strong>the</strong> day <strong>with</strong> praise & thanksgiving<br />
PSALM 96 ~ 1 O sing unto <strong>the</strong> Lord a new song; sing unto <strong>the</strong> Lord, all<br />
<strong>the</strong> whole earth. ² Sing unto <strong>the</strong> Lord and praise his Name; tell of his<br />
salvation from day to day. ³ Declare his honor to <strong>the</strong> nations, and his<br />
wonders to all peoples. 4 For <strong>the</strong> Lord is great, and highly to be<br />
praised; he is more to be feared than all gods. 5 As for all <strong>the</strong> gods of<br />
<strong>the</strong> nations, <strong>the</strong>y are but idols; but it is <strong>the</strong> Lord who made <strong>the</strong><br />
heavens. 6 Glory and majesty are before him; power and honor are in<br />
his sanctuary. 7 Ascribe unto <strong>the</strong> Lord, O you families of <strong>the</strong> peoples,<br />
ascribe unto <strong>the</strong> Lord worship and power. 8 Ascribe unto <strong>the</strong> Lord <strong>the</strong><br />
honor due unto his Name; bring offerings and come into his courts.<br />
9<br />
O worship <strong>the</strong> Lord in <strong>the</strong> beauty of holiness; let <strong>the</strong> whole earth<br />
stand in awe of him. 10 Tell it out among <strong>the</strong> nations, “The Lord is<br />
King; it is he who has made <strong>the</strong> world so firm that it cannot be<br />
moved; he shall judge <strong>the</strong> peoples righteously.” 11 Let <strong>the</strong> heavens<br />
rejoice, and let <strong>the</strong> earth be glad; let <strong>the</strong> sea make a noise, and all<br />
that is <strong>the</strong>rein. 12 Let <strong>the</strong> field be joyful, and all that is in it; <strong>the</strong>n shall<br />
all <strong>the</strong> trees of <strong>the</strong> wood rejoice before <strong>the</strong> Lord. 13 For he comes, for<br />
he comes to judge <strong>the</strong> earth, and <strong>with</strong> righteousness to judge <strong>the</strong><br />
world, and <strong>the</strong> peoples <strong>with</strong> his truth.<br />
NOON - Pausing to remember that God is in charge<br />
PSALM 78:41-73 ~ 41 Many times <strong>the</strong>y provoked him in <strong>the</strong> wilderness<br />
and grieved him in <strong>the</strong> desert. 42 They turned back, and tested God,<br />
and provoked <strong>the</strong> Holy One of Israel. 43 They remembered not his<br />
power, nor <strong>the</strong> day when he delivered <strong>the</strong>m from <strong>the</strong> hand of <strong>the</strong><br />
enemy, 44 How he had wrought his miracles in Egypt and his wonders<br />
in <strong>the</strong> field of Zoan. 45 He turned <strong>the</strong>ir waters into blood, so that <strong>the</strong>y<br />
might not drink of <strong>the</strong> rivers. 46 He sent flies among <strong>the</strong>m, which<br />
devoured <strong>the</strong>m up, and frogs to destroy <strong>the</strong>m. 47 He gave <strong>the</strong>ir fruit to<br />
<strong>the</strong> grasshopper and <strong>the</strong>ir labor to <strong>the</strong> locust. 48 He destroyed <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
vines <strong>with</strong> hailstones and <strong>the</strong>ir sycamore trees <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> frost. 49 He<br />
smote <strong>the</strong>ir cattle also <strong>with</strong> hailstones and <strong>the</strong>ir flocks <strong>with</strong> hot<br />
thunderbolts. 50 He cast upon <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> furiousness of his wrath,<br />
anger, displeasure, and trouble, sending <strong>the</strong>se destroying angels<br />
