Most of us eat every day, some of us too much, because yesterday's
food is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do
some of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change
all of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need
to live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
author speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, good morning, Good
morning. It is Sunday, March three, twenty twenty four. Hello,
my name is El David Harris. I am your host, and this is
your Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day, and today
is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series through the Book
of Psalms. Our caption for today is the Lord's Unstoppable Faithfulness. The Lord's
Unstoppable Faithfulness. I love this subject. I love it. I love it.
I love it. We'll get into it in just a moment, but
first I'd like to say welcome to you and ask you to go over to
your Daily Portion dot com. Please type it in your browser. Some of
you are looking for this on YouTube. I know, I know you're so

look for that big bowld join join section and then click the button right
below it that part that says join. And as I have said recently,
the community that we were in, there were hundreds of you in that community.
It just vanished. That is because the service provider was purchased by another
one and then things did not go well and boom poof it's gone. And
so we're going to a new platform. Please go there, join us,
and we will continue to build faith and fellowship. Now let's go ahead and
pray, and then we will get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you
for this day and for giving us a new week, a work week that
we can honor you. And I pray God now that we will appreciate and
live according to the principles of your character because of your unstoppable faithfulness in our
lives. In Jesus name, I pray Amen and a men again, the
Lord's unstoppable faithfulness. Great is thy faithfulness? That is what comes to my
mind that blessed him number one hundred in our faith communities him. No,
great is thy faithfulness, Oh God, my father. And it actually follows
the discussion of the one who wrote in Lamentations, Thy your mercies are ever
lasting, like they fail, not great is thy faithfulness. They're new every
morning. Do you get up in the morning and just talk to God about
his faithful Listen, say, God, You've been so faithful to me.
You have delivered me from trials of the past. Even though I have some
trials today, I have seen where you have delivered me in the past.
Even though I have pains today and difficulties today, I've seen how You've delivered
me from these different difficulties and different trials over the years that I've been alive.
I've seen your your mighty works and your excellent greatness in my life and
the lives of others. And so when I am down, I know I
can ask myself, like David, why art thou cast down? Oh my
soul hope in God. God has been good. So this is what we
want to do. We want to look at the faithfulness of God and how
he is, he is, he is in he is. I want to
use a right word, because we're talking about God. He is uncompromising with
his faithfulness. Let me just say, let's go ahead into the Bible now.
The Bible Book of Psalms, chapter one, US, chapter seventy eight,
and verse fifty four. The Bible says, He performed awesome deeds and
acts of judgment in your midst Ah, in your midstough Egypt, against Pharaoh
and all of his servants, all of his servants. We quoted this the
other day, but today we're looking at it from the perspective that we recognize
his faithfulness and deliverance. He's faithful, and he delivered his people, even
though he knew that his people would be stiff necked. He knew that his
people would murmur once they crossed over the Red Sea and we're in the wilderness
now, and God had swallowed up all of their enemies in the Red Sea.
They would say, would did you come out? Did you bring us
out here to die in the wilderness? Would to God that we would be
back in Egypt. And it's like, wait a minute, you mean where
you were a slave and you were oppressed, do you mean that when we
were talking about delivering you, when God was talking about delivering you, the
Pharaoh and his people put more burdens on you. You mean that place,
Yep, that place. God knew that they would be this way, and
yet he still performed awesome deeds and acts of judgment in your midst yes against
Pharaoh and all of his servants. He still delivered his people. Unbelievable.
Remember his unstoppable faithfulness. Let's keep going. Let's keep going. To verse
fifty five and the Bible reads, he drove the nations out from before them.
He assigned them their tribal allotments, and settled the tribes of Israel in
their homes. The people who would not repent, the people who got in
the way of God and his movements, the people who stood up against God's
people instead of yielding, as God would have given every nation around the opportunity
to become his people. But they chose to go against God and to be
God's enemies. Let's see they God gave his people all of the places that
he promised Abraham he would give them. He he wants us to learn from
the conquest of Canaan, the settlement in Canaan. God shows his guidance in
giving Israel, God's people a homeland despite their unfaithfulness. I am not telling
you these things in order to give you permission or to give me permission to
be unfaithful and say, well, God is going to do great things regardless
of my faithfulness or unfaithfulness, So it doesn't really matter. I'm just gonna
live my life a certain way because you know, I'll eat, drink and
be merry because tomorrow we die. No no, no no no no no
no no no no no no. There's so much more, but we're not
going to talk about this so much more. We're just showing that because of
God's great love, he is faithful even when we are unfaithful. What that
means in our lives individually is another study. Okay, And so we go
now down to verse seventy. The Bible reads, he chose David his servant
and took him from the sheep fold. Acknowledge God's sovereignty in leadership. God
does some things that just don't make sense, like what you're going to choose
a shepherd boy has one of the arguably the best kings that God's people have
ever seen. Yep, you mean you're going to You're you're going to give
him that kind of authority and power. Yeah, even though you know what
he's going to do with Bethsheba and what he's going to do to your yah.
Yep, that's exactly right. And then he's going to be the standard
of kings. Yep. So when Josiah at age eight becomes a king,
it says that he will he did not look to the left nor to the
right, but he was faithful, he was holy, just like his father
David. Wait a minute, what but David was not Wait a minute,
Yeah, well, David knew how to repent. Read Psalm fifty one.
David knew how to run after the heart of God. You see in his
whole lifestyle how he ran after the heart of God even after he made mistakes.
Yes, and so I'm thankful that God is sovereign in his leadership,
like he puts people in position in a way that we don't understand, and
it is not our business. We just say thank God for being kind enough
to set people in position to accomplish his will. Okay, and we're going
to go against forgetfulness here in verse forty two of Psalm chapter seventy eight.
The Bible reads, they did not keep in mind his power talking about the
same people that God delivered Ah, the same people that he was faithful toward.
It says here they did not keep in mind his power or the day
when He redeemed them from the enemy. So we need to be aware.
I said yesterday. I think it was that we have no need to fear
for the future except we forget what God has done for us in the past.
So we need to be aware of forgetting God's deeds. God's people and
their forgetfulness of God's wonders is a warning against spiritual amnesia. Can I just
say that again? It is a warning against spiritual amnesia. Yes, And
one more passage before we go today, from the book of Psalm chapter seventy
eight, verse sixty two. God rejected them and delivered them over to destruction
because they rebelled against his command. So listen, do not choose to say
that God is faithful no matter what. And so I can live just any
old kind of way. There is futility. There is unholiness in delaying our
obedience to God, because that is disobedience. God's faithfulness is unstoppable, but
he is not to be played with. Of a wonderful thing. Thanks for
joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. This has been
your daily portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
