1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:05,919
Most of us eat every day,
some of us too much because yesterday's food

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,720
is not enough to supply energy for
today's needs. Why then, do some

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,400
of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly
manna, the word of God to keep

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,120
us through today's challenges. On this
program, we are going to change all

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:25,160
of that. Let's experience God's words
today and receive the power we need to

6
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:30,839
live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome
to your Daily Portion with your host,

7
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:34,560
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Good morning, Good morning, Good morning.

8
00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:39,280
It is Sunday, February eleven,
twenty twenty four. Hello, my

9
00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:42,359
name is El David Harris. I
am your host, and this is your

10
00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:46,600
Daily Portion where we give you God's
word every single day, and today is

11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,799
no exception. We are continuing in
our lesson study series through the Book of

12
00:00:50,799 --> 00:00:57,240
Psalms, and our caption for today
is His Mercy Endures Forever. Oh,

13
00:00:57,439 --> 00:01:02,520
how many of you know that God's
mercy is ever lasting even in your life?

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,120
Yes, Scott is very good,
and we'll talk about that in just

15
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,200
a moment, but before I do, I'd like to say welcome to you

16
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,480
and ask you to please go over
to your Daily Portion. Dot com.

17
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:17,000
Please join our online community, pick
up the Your Daily Portion book, and

18
00:01:17,079 --> 00:01:21,920
also let us know where you are
in the world at your Daily Portion dot

19
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,719
com. This is one of the
ways that we continue to build faith and

20
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,079
fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.

21
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:34,000
Bother in heaven. Thank you for
this day and for giving us a new

22
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,079
week, a new week to work, a workweek for you, a work

23
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:44,599
week to enhance our families and the
Kingdom of Heaven. All at the same

24
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,000
time. I pray that you will
give us understanding and teach us about mercy

25
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:53,560
today, your mercy and teach us
to be mercyfull in Jesus' name. I

26
00:01:53,640 --> 00:02:00,319
pray Amen and Amen again. Yeah, so Jesus said to his disciples in

27
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:07,840
another context, freely you have received, freely give, and we could apply

28
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:13,879
this broad stroke. Whatever blessings God
has given to you, you can see

29
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:20,759
that as an opportunity to reciprocate by
giving to others. If God gives you

30
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,879
energy, then you lend some of
your energy to others. If God gives

31
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:30,039
you intellect and emotional intelligence, then
you lend some of that to them.

32
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,840
Right. If God has been merciful
to you, let's just cut to the

33
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,680
chase. If God has been merciful
to you, then you should be merciful

34
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,159
to others. And that is the
reality for all of us. Right.

35
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:47,319
And so Jesus said, blessed are
the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

36
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,039
So this is a great, big
circle. God gives, we receive,

37
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,719
we give to someone else. Okay. And so in the Book of

38
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:59,680
Psalms, chapter one hundred and thirty
six, one of my favorite chapters.

39
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,960
There are a couple that are very
similar, but let me get to it.

40
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:09,960
Psalm chapter one hundred and thirty six, we see God's mercy prevalent.

41
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,960
Okay, and so let's go ahead
and read. And it's so it's rhythmic,

42
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,080
it gets down into your core,
and if you accept this then it

43
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,719
can change your life forever. And
so we begin with verse one, Oh,

44
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:27,759
give thanks unto the Lord, for
he is good for his mercy endureth

45
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,240
forever. And so we see two
principle, or more than two, really

46
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:36,759
three One the fact that we can, will and must if we are God's

47
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:42,000
children, give thanks to God.
He's He's good. That's the second principle.

48
00:03:42,039 --> 00:03:45,199
He's good just on the strength of
him. Being who he is like

49
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,000
his innate nature means that he is
good. He is righteous in all of

50
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,879
his ways, and there is nothing
but goodness in him, and his mercy

51
00:03:54,599 --> 00:04:01,479
endures forever. This also means that
he is eternal. So to your generations

52
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,039
before you, fifteen twenty thirty generations
before you, all the way back to

53
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:12,039
the first generation of those who are
in your bloodline, God has been merciful.

54
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,519
And until Jesus comes, all the
way until then whenever, that is,

55
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,839
if it's next year, next month, tomorrow, whenever Jesus comes,

56
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:25,319
his mercy will have endured until then. Oh and by the way, those

57
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,519
who enter into eternity with God right
after Jesus comes, and then the thousand

58
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:36,000
years are finished, and then we
come and inherit this new earth, and

59
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:42,959
we continue throughout the ceaseless ages of
eternity, then his mercy will have endured

60
00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:47,160
all throughout those eons, that eternal
time. And so we see that his

61
00:04:47,319 --> 00:04:50,920
mercy endureth forever. And I'll say
that like one hundred more times before we're

62
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:55,600
done. Verse two. Oh,
give thanks unto the God of Gods for

63
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,519
his mercy endureth forever. We know
that there are no humans that are legitimately

64
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:08,279
gods. Right, But he has
entrusted God, entrusted power and authority and

65
00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:12,959
leadership into the bosom and care of
people. And we've talked about that before.

66
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:17,879
But he is the God of gods. These powerful people with influence answer

67
00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:24,319
to the Creator. He's the God
of gods. Yes, his mercy endures

68
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,160
forever. Oh give thanks verse three, unto the Lord of Lords, for

69
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:33,439
his mercy endureth forever. To him
who alone doeth great wonders. How for

70
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,279
his mercy endureth forever. If you're
not getting the theme now, I don't

71
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:41,000
know what it will take, but
let me just say here, he do

72
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,079
with great wonders. Have you ever
seen wonders done in your life? I

73
00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:48,000
think there is a song that said, would you be free from the burden

74
00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:51,959
of sin? There's power in the
blood? Power in the blood? Would

75
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:58,360
you or evil a victory to win? There's wonder, working power in the

76
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,000
blood. I think it's said here, who do with wonders? There's power,

77
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,920
hallelujah, power, wonder, working
power in the blood of the lamb.

78
00:06:05,959 --> 00:06:11,720
There is power, power, wonder, working power in the precious blood

79
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:15,959
of the lamb. And that is
besides the creative power of God, where

80
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:21,519
he unfurls his brightness, his effulgent
brightness, upon the expanse of the darkness.

81
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:28,199
And then he begins to create planets
and galaxies and solar systems and other

82
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,600
things that we are not even privy
to at. As yet, his mercy

83
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,600
endureth forever. As you can tell, this is a great passage verse five,

84
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:42,040
to him that by wisdom made the
heavens, for his mercy endureth forever.

85
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,000
And if you study in the Book
of Proverbs chapter eight, if you

86
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,959
study in the Book of First Corinthians
chapter one, the closing passages, you

87
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:58,199
will see that wisdom is indeed Jesus
Christ himself. So for anyone who lacks

88
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,879
wisdom, and we ask of God, and God gives liberally and upbraideth not.

89
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:09,759
He's literally giving Jesus Christ into our
lives, who by wisdom made the

90
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,959
heavens. Oh, you didn't know
Jesus made the heavens and the earth.

91
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,920
Huh did you not know that?
Yes? In John chapter one, Hebrews

92
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,199
chapter one, and in other places
we see very clearly that Jesus Christ is

93
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:26,279
the creator of the heavens and the
earth. So by wisdom God, our

94
00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:31,000
Father, created the heavens his mercy
endureth forever to him that stretched out the

95
00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:36,079
earth above the waters for his mercy
endureth forever, to him that made the

96
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,759
great lights, I would say,
on the fourth day, even though he

97
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:46,720
again unfurled his effulgent brightness upon the
expanse of the deep and the darkness on

98
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:50,800
day one, he revealed himself as
the light yes on day one. On

99
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:56,879
day four he created the great lights, the moon and the stars verse nine,

100
00:07:57,439 --> 00:08:01,079
to rule the night for his mercy
in earth forever. To him that

101
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:07,600
smokee Egypt and their first born for
his mercy and dureth forever. God destroyed

102
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,480
what, however was was in the
way, as God's people were faithful,

103
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:18,519
and the people would not repent who
were in the way of God's movements.

104
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:22,360
Well, that's what happened in the
Red Sea Verse eleven. And brought Israel

105
00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:28,120
from among them for his mercy endureth
forever, with a strong hand and with

106
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:33,279
a stretched out arm, for his
mercy endureth forever to him that divided the

107
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:39,639
Red Sea into parts for his mercy
endureth forever, and made Israel to pass

108
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:46,639
through the midst of it. For
his mercy endureth forever. But overthrew Pharaoh

109
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,480
and his hosts in the Red Sea
for his mercy endureth forever. And then

110
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:58,000
we go on and on how God
overcame all of those kings that separated or

111
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:03,080
attempted to separate God's peace people from
the promise that he had made to their

112
00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:09,600
forefather Abraham verse twenty one, and
gave their land foreign heritage for his mercy

113
00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:15,919
endureth forever, Who remembered his who
remembered us in our low estate verse twenty

114
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,360
three, for his mercy endureth forever, and hath redeemed us from our enemies

115
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:28,120
for his mercy endureth forever. Who
giveth food to all flesh for his mercy

116
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,360
endureth forever. In verse twenty six, here it is, Oh, give

117
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:37,159
thanks unto the God of Heaven for
his mercy endureth forever. I think that

118
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:41,879
God has been so good, How
good Dave so good that He's given us

119
00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:46,720
his mercy and that mercy endures forever. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends,

120
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,320
Always remember we cannot live by bread
alone, but by every word that

121
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,559
comes from the mouth of God.
This has been your daily portion with el

122
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,279
David Harris, make it a great
day. Yeah,
