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 --> 00:00:15,640
of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly
manna the word of God to keep us

4
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:20,239
through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all of

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,399
that. Let's experience God's words today
and receive the power we need to live

6
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:31,359
healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to
Your Daily Portion with your host, author

7
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,560
speaker, Elle David Harris. Good
morning, Good morning, Good morning.

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,439
It is Thursday, March seven,
twenty twenty four. Hello, my name

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,119
Iselle David Harris. I am your
host, and this is your Daily Portion

10
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,039
where we give you God's word every
single day, and today is no exception.

11
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:51,200
We are continuing in our lesson study
series through the Book of Psalms,

12
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:57,840
and our caption for today is the
Lord's Supremacy in History. The Lord's Supremacy

13
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,479
in History. We'll get into that
in just a moment, but first I'd

14
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,480
like to say welcome to you and
ask you to go over to your Daily

15
00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:08,280
Portion dot com. Please join our
online community. Also pick up the Your

16
00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:14,439
Daily Portion book and let me go
back to the online community. There are

17
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:21,120
hundreds of you that dropped out or
dropped off from the community from before because

18
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,239
the company was purchased by another company
and then they just it's gone, like

19
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,319
the community is gone. And sometimes, unfortunately that happens in business. So

20
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,480
we've launched a new community. So
please go to your Daily Portion dot com

21
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:42,200
and join the new community and we'll
continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's

22
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:46,359
go ahead and pray and then we
will get underway. Father and Heaven,

23
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:53,519
thank you for giving us a track
record with you where you have demonstrated your

24
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:59,239
holiness, your goodness, your faithfulness. Please teach us to serve you based

25
00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:02,920
on your track record. In Jesus'
name, I pray, Amen and Amen

26
00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:07,799
again. Yes, God's track record
is good with us. Yes, if

27
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:09,479
you want to call it his curriculum
by tay, you want to call it

28
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,479
his resume, you want to call
it all of his wonderful works, whereas

29
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,840
mighty works in history, His track
record, excuse me for the sound,

30
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:23,639
is good with us. Why because
God has demonstrated that he was faithful in

31
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:29,039
the past, and so only the
only thing that we can expect for the

32
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,280
future is that he will continue to
be faithful, and I'm going to actually

33
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:38,919
read the quote that I have been
reciting to you tomorrow regarding not having any

34
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,439
fear for the future. But before
I get too far off into that,

35
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:46,719
let's go ahead and jump into our
lesson study for today. And we're going

36
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:53,000
to just jump into what we can
learn based on Psalm one hundred and thirty

37
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:59,280
five. So many things we can
learn. Let's start with some very specific

38
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,879
lessons, okay, and so we're
going to read various verses. Let's start

39
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,520
with verse six Psalm one hundred and
thirty five. I won't say Psalm one

40
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:13,159
thirty five again, right, So
verse six he does whatever he pleases in

41
00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:19,719
heaven and on Earth, in the
seas and in all the ocean depths.

42
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:25,319
Has God been good in the ocean
depths the seas? Has He been good

43
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:30,719
in the seas? I think he
led his people over through the Red Sea

44
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:38,319
bed on dry land, as the
sea stood up like wall next to and

45
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,280
beside the people of God as they
walk through, and then the waters came

46
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,759
back down. Same thing with the
Jordan River. And so we see that

47
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,960
we see Jesus on the Sea of
Galilee and in other situations where he calmed

48
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,120
the winds and the waves. He
caused Peter miraculously to walk on water.

49
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:03,439
There are seas and waves and ocean
depths in our lives in twenty twenty four

50
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:09,879
that God still has power over He
can still cause peace and stillness in our

51
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,639
situation where there is a whirlwind and
a torrent ah when there is no water

52
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:23,079
at where Mara, where the people
of God experienced the bitterness of waters.

53
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,680
After three days of being completely dry, no water, they're thirsty. And

54
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,519
then God brings them to a place
called Mara Mara, and the water was

55
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:39,959
bitter, and God miraculously provided fresh
water for them so they could stay alive

56
00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:44,800
and drink. And like I said, stay alive. And so he does

57
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,680
whatever he pleases in the heavens and
on earth, and in the seas and

58
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:53,399
in the ocean deaths. So praise
God for his sovereignty in creation. The

59
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:57,759
creation is not out of control.
God has the creation and control. Right

60
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,800
now, we see that the creation
is moaning, groaning like a woman in

61
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,560
travail ready to give birth. And
there are all kinds of things going on,

62
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:12,560
but God still has them under his
control. Let's go to verse eight.

63
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,639
He struck down the first born of
Egypt, including both the men and

64
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,399
the animals. Now this was after
God had fired all kinds of warning shots

65
00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:28,600
in the lives of the people who
were enemies against God. He gave them

66
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,120
opportunity after opportunity to let God's people
go three days into the wilderness to give

67
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:42,079
sacrifice and to worship God, not
under the oppressor's watch. But the oppressor

68
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:46,879
decided that he didn't know God.
He decided he needed an introduction. He

69
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,959
decided that he would trust his magicians
and trust in his own what he thought

70
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:57,839
was his own spiritual prowess, until
he begged for mercy, ultimately with that

71
00:05:57,959 --> 00:06:03,279
final final hand of God that struck
his first born, both of men and

72
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:11,360
of animals. So we recognize,
we recognize God's power in delivering his people.

73
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,920
No matter what the power is that
is standing against God's people, God

74
00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:20,800
is able to deliver us. Is
it sickness, is it disease? Is

75
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,800
it a pandemic? Is it time
when we are in despair in doubt?

76
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:34,480
Is it nations? Is it churches
that are wielding civil and religious power?

77
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:40,560
Like is it a Babylonish mindset of
confusion? Well, God is able,

78
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:46,199
just like he was in the time
of delivering Israel. He is able to

79
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:53,360
use his power for his glory and
for our benefit Verse fourteen. For the

80
00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:59,079
Lord will vindicate his people and will
have compassion on his servants. Have you

81
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,600
ever been falsely accused? Have you
ever been charged with a crime you did

82
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:06,720
not commit? Do you remember the
Bible said that if you are persecuted in

83
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:12,000
the Book of Matthew, if you
are persecuted, and all manner of evil

84
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,519
is set against you falsely for Jesus's
sake, he said, rejoice and be

85
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,360
exceeding glad, for great is your
reward in heaven. For so persecuted they

86
00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:26,839
the prophets which were before you.
So historically God's people, though innocent,

87
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,560
God's people, though living holy lives. Like Daniel As, all he wanted

88
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,040
to do was worship God freely,
and he was thrown into the lions den.

89
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,360
All the three Hebrew young men wanted
to do was to worship God,

90
00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:46,040
and they were thrown into the fiery
furnace. And we have so many other

91
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,839
examples in history. Ah, but
God came through because he is righteous.

92
00:07:51,360 --> 00:08:00,079
He vindicated his people, and we
need to recognize God's compassion and his just

93
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,839
this or judgment here's another one from
verse four. For the Lord has chosen

94
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:13,319
Jacob for himself Israel to be his
possession. God has chosen his people not

95
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:18,360
because we are special, not because
we are more in number, not because

96
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:24,319
we are more intelligent, more beautiful, or any other reason, any other

97
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:30,920
external reality, except that for his
great love he has chosen us. You

98
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,960
understand. So when you recognize in
the mornings when you were awaken, and

99
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:39,840
you're like, Wow, I can
still move around and have my right mind

100
00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:43,000
about me, even though maybe I
have had some troubles lately. Maybe my

101
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,360
movements are restricted to a degree,
but I can still I can still move

102
00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:54,080
in the Holy ghost to do what
God would have me to do. Then

103
00:08:54,120 --> 00:09:00,840
we know that it is because of
God's goodness to us that he has chosen

104
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,000
us as a special treasure. And
then comes verse fifteen. The idols of

105
00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:09,399
the nations are made of silver and
gold. They are man made. Is

106
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,720
it silly or is it me?
Like? Is it silly or is it

107
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,320
me to worship anything besides God?
You worship your vehicle, your household hah.

108
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,399
Do you worship your family? Do
you worship your own thoughts? Do

109
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,679
you worship your job, your bank
account? Hah, your business, your

110
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:31,600
brand, your iconic status as an
Internet influencer, a social media influencer.

111
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,480
What God is saying is that it
is futility. It's futile to worship idols

112
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,279
or anything in place of God.
God's supremacy in history shows that he will

113
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,960
always be supreme. Have a wonderful
day, Peace, Thanks for joining us

114
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,480
listening to friends. Always remember we
cannot live by bread alone, but by

115
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,720
every word that comes from the mouth
of God. This has been your daily

116
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make
it a great day. Yeah,
