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
00:00:20,160 --> 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 --> 00:00:34,679
author speaker Elle David Harris. Good
morning, good morning, Good morning.

8
00:00:34,759 --> 00:00:39,320
It is Tuesday, March twenty six, twenty twenty four. Hello, my

9
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:42,439
name is El David Harris. I
am your host, and this is your

10
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,600
Daily Portion where we give you God's
word every single day, and today is

11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,880
no exception. We are continuing in
our lesson study series through the Book of

12
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,799
Psalms. Our caption for today is
bringing in the Sheaves. It reminds me

13
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,600
of a hymn, bringing in the
Sheaves, and we'll get into that in

14
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,960
just a moment, But first i'd
like to say welcome to you and ask

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,120
you to go over to your Daily
Portion dot com. Please join our online

16
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,400
community, pick up the Your Daily
Portion book and let us know where you

17
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,200
are in the world again at your
Daily portion dot com. This is a

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:21,200
way that we continue to build faith
and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray

19
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:25,280
and then we will get underweigh Father
and Heaven. Thank you for giving us

20
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,079
this new day to live. I
pray that we will live the restored life

21
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:37,480
in Jesus' name. I pray Amen
and Amen again. So the first thing

22
00:01:37,519 --> 00:01:42,920
that I wrote in my notes for
today's lesson study is restoration. This is

23
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:48,280
the impression that I am getting from
what God is saying to us through these

24
00:01:48,319 --> 00:01:53,000
words restoration. And you want to
say, well, well, restoration of

25
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:56,799
what? Like, why did you
start there? I'm thinking about restoration of

26
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,280
your dignity. There are people who
are bringing their heads low because of what

27
00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:07,120
they have may be done, or
maybe God forbid what was done to them.

28
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:10,759
They are victims of many different types
of abuse, whether inside of the

29
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:15,599
faith, the household of faith,
or somewhere else in secular society, in

30
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:21,080
the community. They have experienced some
things that they wish they could forget.

31
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,080
And I definitely could write a book
on that about myself. In fact,

32
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,479
I have written about these things before. But you want to have your dignity

33
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:37,520
restored. There's some people who need
their confidence restored. And I know we're

34
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,759
not supposed to be focused on ourselves. I want to be careful how I

35
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,080
say this right. We are supposed
to, though, have God confidence to

36
00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:51,879
know when God is with me,
that there is no trial, no temptation,

37
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,719
there is no difficulty, there is
no mountain. There is nothing on

38
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,240
this planet or anything that the devil
could throw at us that we cannot overcome.

39
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:07,479
We can have the kind of confidence
that says God, because I am

40
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:13,879
hid with Christ in You, then
whatever is coming my way, I can

41
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,719
get through it. So we need
a restoration of confidence because we have failed

42
00:03:16,719 --> 00:03:23,520
ourselves. We have made promises to
us and then somehow we've broken them because

43
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:28,240
we are faulty. Like our promises
feel like ropes of sand. Father.

44
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:30,360
If you deliver me from X,
then I promise I will do why And

45
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,520
now I've lost my confidence? Okay, maybe some people compare themselves with others

46
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,680
and they have lost confidence because they
think or perceive that the other person is

47
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:46,080
more proficient and who knows what.
But what God wants to do is restore

48
00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:51,479
our confidence, our ability to trust, our ability to love. Again.

49
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:55,319
We have been betrayed and disrespected,
and we're not too sure if we can

50
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:01,080
love again God. What God wants
to restore this and so many more things?

51
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,960
What is God restoring in you?
Go ahead and type it in the

52
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:12,800
chat. If you are online or
in even a podcasting platform, you can

53
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,560
put it as a comment as you
leave a review, an honest review of

54
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,920
this study. What is it that
God is restoring in you? Now?

55
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:30,759
The lesson writer said, the Lord's
miraculous deliverances in the past are an inexhaustible

56
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,959
source of inspiration for God's people and
their source of hope for the future.

57
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:40,759
Are you looking forward to the future. Some of us have forebodings. We

58
00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:46,000
are hurt, we are concerned,
we are fearful. We are even some

59
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,360
of us paranoid about what will happen
in the future. But you know,

60
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,199
God has said, we don't have
anything to fear for the future, except

61
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,720
we forget how God has led us
in the past. His track record is

62
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:03,600
is good with us. Reading the
past deliverance was so great that it could

63
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:09,560
be described as a dream come true
experience, as in Isaiah chapter twenty nine,

64
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:14,279
verses seven and eight. Notice that
the generation that praises the Lord in

65
00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:20,480
Psalm Chapter one twenty six, for
his past deliverance of his people from captivity

66
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:27,120
is presently in captivity. And I
say that again. It's almost like,

67
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:30,040
let me say it in a different
way. It's almost like when Paul was

68
00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:32,800
in prison and he said, Ah, rejoice in the Lord allway. And

69
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:36,439
again I say rejoice, and you're
like, but brother, you're in prison.

70
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:41,480
Yeah, but his mind was not
in prison. Is your mind in

71
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,319
prison? Prison to debt, prison
to your past mistakes, prison to feeling

72
00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:51,920
unforgiven even though you have come to
God honestly, huh and with integrity saying

73
00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:56,800
God, I agree with you.
I did do this thing in a way

74
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,639
that you're not pleased with. And
I am now asking you to give me

75
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,480
the ability to turn away from the
sin. And I am committed to turning

76
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:08,879
away from sin. Ah. But
now I am still self focused, and

77
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:14,800
I feel like I'm not forgiven because
who knows what well? God is so

78
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:18,439
good to us that his credit is
good. His credit is good. What

79
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,000
he has done in the past is
a manifestation of what he will continue to

80
00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:29,920
do along the continuum of time until
Jesus comes. He will continue to be

81
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:35,079
good. He delivered them God's people
in the past, and so he will

82
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:41,839
deliver me. He will deliver us. You see. So yes, God's

83
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,680
people were in captivity, but they
have seen where God has delivered people in

84
00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:50,839
the past, and so this is
a good way to continue our lesson now.

85
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,959
In the Book of Psalms, chapter
one hundred and twenty two and verse

86
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,480
one, the Bible says, I
rejoiced because they said to me, we

87
00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:05,040
will go to the Lord's temple.
So one of the ways that we will

88
00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:12,279
continue in this mind of restoration is
to have joy and excitement in worship.

89
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:18,920
And I did not say exaggerated fluff
when I said excitement. We have joy

90
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:24,759
and jubilant praise, because as we
see in the Book of Exodus, chapter

91
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,680
fifteen, as we see in the
Book of Revelation, chapter fifteen, we

92
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:33,399
see that we can sing the song
of Moses and then by extension and the

93
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:41,680
lamb, because God has triumphed over
Pharaoh and his writers. God has triumphed

94
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,199
over your sins. God has triumphed
over your doubts. God has triumphed over

95
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:50,439
all of the things that would have
easily beset to you, except now you

96
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:58,199
have yielded your will to Him and
therefore we go into His temple with joy

97
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,839
and excitement. Also also psalmchapter one
hundred and twenty two and verse six,

98
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:07,720
the Bible reads, pray for the
peace of Jerusalem, may those who love

99
00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:16,720
her prosper. We want to pray
for community peace and prosperity. Of course,

100
00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:20,319
here it was speaking about the city
of Peace, God's people. It

101
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:26,680
emphasized the importance of praying for the
well being of our spiritual community and seeking

102
00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:31,480
God's peace and prosperity for his people. But may I extend it just a

103
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,480
little bit. Even when God's people
were in Babylon, he said that I

104
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,720
need you to do whatever it takes. Of course, we could not take

105
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:46,679
for granted God's holiness, though,
do whatever it takes to make sure that

106
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:50,440
everything that is around you, everything
you touch, even as you are in

107
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,360
captivity, that it will prosper.
And so we pray for peace among the

108
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:03,039
community of God's people. But we
also pray and move so that whatever is

109
00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:07,840
happening in the society around us will
be better, like when Joseph was working

110
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,480
in society, when Danielle was working
in society. Are you getting the message

111
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:20,720
here? Whenever God's People are present
in any society, that society must must

112
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:26,639
grow and be more prosperous. And
I think I'll just think of one more

113
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,320
from the Book of Revelation, chapter
twenty one and verse three. Hope in

114
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,879
God's eternal presence, we are looking
forward to the day and the Tabernacle of

115
00:09:35,919 --> 00:09:39,080
God is among God's people, and
he will be with them, and God

116
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:45,120
himself will be with them and be
their God Ah bringing in the Shees restorationist.

117
00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:48,039
Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot live by

118
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,720
bread alone, but by every word
that comes from the mouth of God.

119
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,200
This has been your daily portion with
E. L. David Harris. Make

120
00:09:56,279 --> 00:10:00,279
it a great day. Yeah,
