1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:03,839
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:07,759
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:11,560
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,039
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,000
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,879
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,920
today and receive the power we need to live healthy,

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,839
vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,

9
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,079

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,039

30
00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:48,159
Let's pray, Father, thank you for this day, and thank

31
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,599
you for giving us the privilege of coming together. And

32
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,159
thank you for being the judge and not leaving all

33
00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:59,159
judgment up to humans. Thank you in Jesus' name. I pray,

34
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,799
hey man, and amen again the Supreme Judge. I'm so

35
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,520
glad that God has not left us solely in the

36
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,159
hands of humans. Yes, yes, he has shown in the

37
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:16,560
scriptures that the magistrates and judges, he said, did I

38
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:20,120
not also call them God's lowercase G, meaning that they

39
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,919
represent the living God Blessed be his name? And they

40
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:32,120
have responsibility. They have responsibility to execute judgment and justice

41
00:02:32,199 --> 00:02:35,240
in the way that God would have us to see

42
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,520
it in our societies, even in twenty twenty five. And

43
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:42,759
I know that He has given his Holy Spirit. He

44
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:46,840
has made it possible that those individuals would have a

45
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:53,080
basis for holiness and judgment. However, we're seeing more and

46
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:57,919
more every day that the systems are more and more corrupt.

47
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,680
We saw it back in the day, yes, in the

48
00:02:59,719 --> 00:03:05,360
Bible times, for sure, But daily we see some slips

49
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,120
into areas where we're like, but but my Goodness, God, like,

50
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,439
how long will you allow these things to happen? Where

51
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:19,879
injustice seems to become the norm at times? I said, seems,

52
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,120
I said, seems, So we need God to be the

53
00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:26,759
ultimate judge, the supreme judge, because humans have a habit

54
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:31,039
of dropping the ball. And so the lesson writer points

55
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,919
out that the holiness of God's character means that he

56
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:42,520
cannot tolerate sin. He cannot tolerate sin. He is patient. However,

57
00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:49,639
sin must reap its final consequence, which is destruction. God,

58
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:55,840
the one who created us, has declared war on sin,

59
00:03:56,759 --> 00:04:00,159
regardless of where it's found, whether in his people or

60
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:04,000
among people who never even declared that they loved God.

61
00:04:04,039 --> 00:04:08,159
And so we go in with our lessons for today.

62
00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:14,759
Our lessons for today, beginning with God's judgment reveals his holiness.

63
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,920
I love this one from the Book of Psalms, chapter

64
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,879
seven and verse eleven. God judgeth the Righteous, that is,

65
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,519
he shows he manifests based on his standard of holiness,

66
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,639
his law, and the character of Christ, which he can

67
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:34,120
put in our lives if we are willing to surrender

68
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,639
our will to him. God Judgeth the Righteous. And God

69
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,680
is angry with the wicked every day because God, I

70
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:46,519
told you the other day, and you've read it in

71
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,319
the word. I didn't make it up, so you know

72
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,720
I'm not the originator, clearly. But God has given us

73
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:56,920
so much mercy, He's revealed himself in so many ways

74
00:04:56,959 --> 00:05:00,040
for so many generations that there is literally no no

75
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,839
excuse for any of us, especially those under the sound

76
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,680
of My voice, especially double, especially me. There is no

77
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,439
excuse for me to jump into sin. There is no

78
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:16,199
reason for me to backslide into old ways. There is

79
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:20,800
no reason for me to do those things that displease God,

80
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:24,800
because He's the one, through his mercy and the giving

81
00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:28,399
of the righteousness of Christ and the empowerment through the

82
00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:30,800
Holy Ghost, for us to live like He would have

83
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,560
us to live. And this is revealed in his holiness.

84
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:41,160
God's role as judge flows from his character of perfect holiness.

85
00:05:41,439 --> 00:05:45,600
He is patient, but cannot ignore sin forever. The Canaanite

86
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,639
wars were not campaigns of human glory. They were not

87
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,800
they were not. They weren't. It wasn't conquest. God was

88
00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:57,480
just saying, listen, the cup of his indignation had been filled,

89
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,639
and he had given it as much mercy as he could,

90
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,399
and now the people have to really just get what

91
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:12,240
they have chosen. Yeah, whether judgment fell on Canaan or

92
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:18,399
God's people, God's standard was the same. He cannot tolerate evil,

93
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:21,120
even among his own people. Let me just say the

94
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,240
most graphic example of this is the fact that Jesus

95
00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:31,759
died in his humanity, or his human as his human

96
00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:35,079
self died on the cross to save us from our sins.

97
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,839
The judgment of God was upon Jesus's humanity, because Jesus

98
00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:44,360
became sin in order that we could become the righteousness

99
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,839
of God. And so in the moment that he's crying

100
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,240
out to his father as if he had been forsaken,

101
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:54,120
I said, as if because he could not sense the

102
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,319
presence of his father. The sun wasn't even shining in

103
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,720
the way that he had normally seen, and he just

104
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,560
couldn't take that separation. That meant that in that moment hmm,

105
00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:11,759
justice was being meeted out against sin because Jesus assumed

106
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,160
the guilt of every human being on planet Earth at

107
00:07:16,199 --> 00:07:19,399
any time during any age. So that now if we

108
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:23,079
confess our sins, he is faithful and He's just to

109
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,839
forgive us of all of our sins and to cleanse

110
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,519
us from all unrighteousness. So God does not discriminate. He

111
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:33,000
is the one who is merciful to all. And if

112
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,519
people decide to turn our backs on him, then God forbid.

113
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,879
He's the one that has to execute the judgment or condemnation.

114
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,600
So invite God every day to expose the hidden sins

115
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,759
in your heart. This is not to jump up and

116
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,040
down day. This is not the day that we play

117
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:50,759
the ham in B three and lose our minds in

118
00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:52,800
the spirit. If you want to say in air quotes,

119
00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:56,040
this is the day that we humble ourselves before God.

120
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,319
We are searching our own souls and we're saying God, God,

121
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,199
if there be any sin inside of my life that

122
00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:06,839
I have not yet surrendered, please show it to me.

123
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,759
Please show it to me and give me the strength

124
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,120
to turn away from it. Our lesson number two comes

125
00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:17,839
in from the Book of Psalms, chapter fifty and verse six,

126
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:23,199
and the heaven shall declare his righteousness. For God is

127
00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:30,720
judge himself. So when God judges, his goal is restoration.

128
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,480
That's the goal. That's the goal. Every act of judgment

129
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:41,679
restores moral order where sin caused chaos. God's wars in

130
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,919
the Old Testament were divine interventions to preserve righteousness in

131
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,759
the land. If he just let that stuff go, some

132
00:08:49,799 --> 00:08:51,279
of the stuff we see in the news, God is

133
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,840
gonna judge that. I promise you He's not gonna let

134
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,559
that stuff go forever and ever, all of that that corruption,

135
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,600
all of the wickedness in the nation. He's not going

136
00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:03,399
to allow that stuff to go forever and ever. At

137
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:06,279
some point he's going to stand up. He fights. His

138
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,240
purpose of fighting has nothing to do with conquest, but

139
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:16,759
everything to do with peace on earth, good will toward men.

140
00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:20,039
Somebody just heard what I said. And then finally, our

141
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:25,120
lesson is gospel. The gospel is God's judgment and grace aready.

142
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,399
I already mentioned it to you a moment ago, in

143
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,600
my moment of passion. But the cross is where divine

144
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:38,200
judgment and mercy come together. We thank God that he

145
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,120
has given us the privilege of experiencing his mercy so

146
00:09:42,159 --> 00:09:45,080
that we never have to experience his condemnation. Peace.

147
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

148
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

149
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

150
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
