1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:05,559
Most of us eat every day,
some of us too much, because yesterday's

2
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:10,480
food is not enough to supply energy
for today's needs. Why then, do

3
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:15,039
some of us expect yesterday's portion of
heavenly manna, the word of God to

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,879
keep us through today's challenges. On
this program, we are going to change

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,039
all of that. Let's experience God's
words today and receive the power we need

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:30,839
to live healthy, vibrant lives.
Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,

7
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:34,359
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Good morning, Good morning, Good

8
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:39,240
morning. It is Monday, March
four, twenty twenty four. Hello,

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,520
my name is El David Harris.
I am your host, and this is

10
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,679
your Daily Portion where we give you
God's word every single day, and today

11
00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:52,359
is no exception. We are continuing
in our Lesson study series through the Book

12
00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:59,079
of Psalms, and our caption for
today is remembering the history and praise of

13
00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:04,079
God. Remembering the history and praise
of God. We'll get into that in

14
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:07,879
just a moment, but first I'd
like to say welcome to you and ask

15
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,560

for those who dropped out of the other

17
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,560
one because it vanished. I told
you that there was a problem with the

18
00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:23,280
provider. It got purchased by another
company and then poof, now it's gone.

19
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:26,840
Well we have another provider and we're
building back the momentum there. So

20
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,519
go to your daily Portion dot com. Look for that bolded typeface that says

to build faith and fellowship. Let's go

23
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,920
ahead and pray, and then we
will get underway. Father and Heaven,

24
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,959
thank you for giving us this privilege
to open your word again today. Please

25
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
teach us your word, teach us
to live according to the principles, and

26
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:56,840
teach us to remember to remember you. In Jesus's name, I pray,

27
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,799
amen and Amen again. I have
to admit that while I was, you

28
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:07,799
know, listening and listening to the
intro and I'm getting myself prepared, then

29
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,879
it came to my mind a hymn
that I love, and so I'm not

30
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,599
prepared to play the music, but
I do want to sing one or two

31
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,879
refrains, one or two verses of
it, even though I won't have the

32
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,039
music cued up. I didn't plan
for this. But this is what's jumping

33
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:25,039
into my mind as we consider what
God has done for us, And this

34
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,560
is from number three hundred and seventeen
out of our hymnal here, and it's

35
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,439
lead me to Calvary. Lead me
to Calvary, because we've been talking about

36
00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:40,599
forgetting and remembering, forgetting what God
has done for us and how that negatively

37
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:46,000
impacts our experience with God in our
lives, right, And so I want

38
00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:49,639
to I want to in that vein
just just share a little bit here and

39
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,159
see what we can do with the
rest of our time. Okay, And

40
00:02:53,479 --> 00:03:00,319
here it is, King of my
life. I crown thee now thine shall

41
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:12,719
the glory be? Lest I forget
thy thorn crowned brow. Lead me to

42
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:27,759
Calvy. Show me the tune where
thoust laid tenderly mornt, and when a

43
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:38,280
chosen roads of light raid guarded the
wist thou left. Let me get to

44
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:49,840
that last verse. May I be
willing Lord to bear daily my cross for

45
00:03:50,039 --> 00:04:04,080
the even the cup of grief to
bear Thou hast born for me. Lest

46
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:18,360
I forget get save money, lest
I forget tha akony. Last I forget

47
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:30,680
thy love for me. O lead
me to Callvarie. And so what we

48
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,920
need to do is always be in
remembrance of what God has done for us.

49
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,920
I've said it to you many times
before, but I needed to settle

50
00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:45,160
into your spirit to remember what God
has done, remember the history of God

51
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:49,360
and his people, and then give
him praise because we don't want to forget.

52
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,120
We do not want to forget.
And so the lesson writer says in

53
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,399
the Book of Psalms, chapter one
hundred and five, this recalls key events

54
00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:02,759
that shape the covenantal ref relationship between
God and his people. For us,

55
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:09,000
we see Calvary, right, I'm
saying that it focuses on God's covenant with

56
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:13,399
Abraham to give the promised land to
him and to his descendants, and how

57
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:18,560
this promise confirmed to Abraham and Isaac
and Jacob, is providentially fulfilled in Joseph

58
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,480
and Moses and Aaron and in the
time of conquest of Canaan. The Psalm

59
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:30,399
gives hope to God's people in all
generations because God's marvelous works in the past

60
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,680
you see lead me to Calvary.
You see what Jesus did there on the

61
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:39,040
cross to save us from our sins. Yes, what he has done in

62
00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:44,319
the past. What He's done in
the past guarantees God's unchanging love to his

63
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:50,079
people in all times. If something
happened to the current, the electricity in

64
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,680
this broadcast was interrupted right here,
we would have gotten enough to chew on

65
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,879
for a generation. We must remember
that God has been faied faithful to us.

66
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,600
We must remember that not only did
He give his people the earthly promised

67
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:12,000
land, but He through Christ has
given us eternal life and the inheritance that

68
00:06:12,079 --> 00:06:15,959
He has promised for our generations in
the past. And I'm thankful that He

69
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,199
has been so kind. How kind
has he been to include you and to

70
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:25,079
include me? Yes? And so
in verse five of the Book of Psalms,

71
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:30,319
chapter one hundred and five, the
Bible reads, remember the miraculous deeds

72
00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:36,959
performed. God performed his wonders and
the decisions of his mouth. And so

73
00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:43,120
we're talking about God's promises, and
then what he did based on his promises.

74
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,759
And so God, in his faithfulness
and his promises is something we need

75
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,600
to remember. We need to remember. And then, of course verse seventeen

76
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:58,600
the Bible reads verse seventeen, he
sent a man before them, Joseph was

77
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,839
sold as a ser right and so
Joseph was sold into slavery, yes,

78
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:09,480
by his own brothers. Then those
persons who purchased him, the Ishmaelites,

79
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,680
then sold him to Potiphar. Potiphar
had him in his household, and he

80
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:16,759
a god because God has been good
to had been good to Joseph even though

81
00:07:16,759 --> 00:07:20,240
he was still captive. He was
like a chief captive, if you want

82
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:25,240
to say. And then and then
something went very wrong in Potiphar's house,

83
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:28,439
and then he goes to jail.
And then in jail he becomes like the

84
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:31,160
chief inmate, right, and then
after that, you know, a long

85
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:38,720
story short, this dude becomes like
the second man next to Pharaoh in Egypt.

86
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,480
And because of the faithfulness of God
in Joseph, he was able to

87
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:49,759
save people's lives literally through famine and
privation and the gods. And then God's

88
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,279
hand is clearly seen. And so
we see in the providence of God,

89
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,680
his fulfillment of promises through the life
of people like Joseph, through the lives

90
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,319
of people like Moses and Aaron and
others, we see God's providential care.

91
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:07,959
So if you're in the midst of
a trial and you wonder, well,

92
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:11,959
why am I in this place in
this station, ask God, well,

93
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,240
what would you have me to do
while I am in this situation? Why

94
00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:16,560
is it that I'm going through this
pain? What would you have me to

95
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:22,879
do while I am in this pain? When I am experiencing disappointments? What

96
00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:26,199
is the glory that you want to
get out of this moment that I am

97
00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:30,959
being disappointed? Even if it's for
years. I have a testimony, brothers

98
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,120
and sisters, and many of you
do too, of God's watch care and

99
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:39,440
how all of that he brought full
circle in order to bring glory to him

100
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:43,559
himself. And so we want to
look at the kind of faith that the

101
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,720
patriarchs had. In verse six,
the Bible reads, his servant Israel,

102
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:54,120
whom he chose, is a person
that we can see. We can see

103
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:58,679
in history when Jacob, when Jacob
decided to turn his heart toward God fully

104
00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:03,639
and not let God go until he
blessed him. God transformed his life from

105
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,600
the supplanter, the tinnel, the
crook, the scammer, named Jacob and

106
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,559
made him to be so aligned with
God that he gave him the name of

107
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:18,639
God's people. He gave him the
name that God assumed for himself through Christ

108
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:24,159
He gave him the culture and heritage
inheritance in his bosom, and he is

109
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:31,000
now the one whom God has chosen
and a representative of God's people all around.

110
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,639
And so this suggests a call to
follow their example, all of God's

111
00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:41,639
people's example for endurance and loyalty.
When they have been loyal, remember the

112
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,399
history and praise God for his thanks
for joining us listening. Friends, Always

113
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,759
remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from

114
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:56,399
the mouth of God. This has
been your daily portion with el David Harris.

115
00:09:56,039 --> 00:10:00,279
Make it a great day. Yeah,
