I've written a program using the bash shell that I want to use to wake myself up in the morning (pulls up the weather, plays some music, etc.). How do I make my Mac OSX run the program every day at 7:00 AM automatically?

As Mac OSX is BSD and BSD is Unix, you can use the Cron-Daemon. Just edit your cron-file with 

crontab -e

an put in the following line

 0 7 * * *     /path/to/your/script/here

More details here: article about Cron in Wikipedia

You can use cron to schedule it to be used every day at time you desire
