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
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,079
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Sabbath, October eleven,

11
00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:40,520
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:40,679 --> 00:00:43,359
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,799 --> 00:00:46,200
where we give you God's word every single day, but

14
00:00:46,359 --> 00:00:49,280
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,719
study series lessons from Lessons of Faith from Joshua, and

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,520
our caption for this Sabbath morning is Memorials of Grace.

17
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:03,079
Memorials of Grace. God wants us to remember the great

18
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:05,519
things He has done for us, remember what He has

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,519
done for those who came before us. Before we get

20
00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:10,439
into that, I'd like to welcome you and ask you

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,200
to go over to your Daily portion dot com. Please

22
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:16,840
join our online community and also let us know where

23
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,640
you are in the world at your daily portion dot com.

24
00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:23,640
This is one of the ways that we continue to

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,280
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray. Father,

26
00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:29,920
we thank you for this Sabbath morning and for giving

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,040
us the privilege of coming together in this way. Help

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,599
us to remember, Help us to always remember how good

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,000
you have been. Remember how good you've been in our lives,

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,079
in our ancestors lives and the lives of the people

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,840
of God from ancient history. Father, please teach us not

32
00:01:47,959 --> 00:01:52,519
to fear in Jesus name. I pray, Amen and Amen again.

33
00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:56,280
Do you ever count your blessings? I think that's a song.

34
00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:58,959
Count your blessings? Do you ever count them? Do you

35
00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:03,239
put a list down? Some times? And talking about literally like,

36
00:02:03,319 --> 00:02:05,280
write a list God, this is the way that you

37
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:07,840
blessed me today. Wow, look at this way that you

38
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,759
blessed me today. Look at this list. Oh, this is

39
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:13,879
fifteen things, this is twenty things. Yesterday it was seventy

40
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,199
two things. Do you write down and count your blessings

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,719
and go to God and give him thanks for what

42
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,319
he has done. The fact that you can open your

43
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,879
eyes if you are able to open your eyes, if not,

44
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:27,199
the fact that you're able to listen, and if you're

45
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:29,800
not able to listen, but you're able to see the

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,680
closed caption for the hearing impaired for this program. Whatever

47
00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:37,439
it is that God has done for you, have you

48
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,840
counted those made memorials of God and his blessings and

49
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,719
his grace? Well, the Bible actually gives us an interesting

50
00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:50,639
reality here in the Book of Joshua, chapter four, and

51
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,639
beginning at verse twenty three, for the Lord your God

52
00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:57,879
dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,479
you passed over. You see, they're making a memorial. They

54
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,199
are remembering what God did for his people as they

55
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,919
crossed the Jordan. But wait a minute, something happened even

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,919
before that one just as miraculous. Wait a minute, as

57
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000
the Lord your God did the Red Sea. So now

58
00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:19,360
the children of Israel, those who were twenty years or

59
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,319
younger in age, except for Joshua and Caleb, during the exodus,

60
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,759
they are now remembering how God delivered them over the Jordan,

61
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:33,000
and how he delivered them and their parents over the

62
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,439
Red Sea on dry ground. And the Bible continues, which

63
00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:41,080
he dried up for us until we passed over. God

64
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,800
didn't let it get wet. He did not allow the

65
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,479
waters to come down and drown some of the people

66
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,000
because they were at the back of the line. No,

67
00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:52,879
he let them go over on dry ground until every

68
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:57,960
single one of God's people passed over, And then he

69
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,520
let the waters go in the time of the Red

70
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,199
Sea and destroyed and destroy those who were running after them.

71
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:07,199
But let me continue so that all the peoples of

72
00:04:07,199 --> 00:04:11,360
the earth may know that the hand of the Lord

73
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:15,479
is mighty. Are you asking God to do great things

74
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,120
in your life for his name's sake? That's a real

75
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,000
life question. Type it in the chat. Do when you pray,

76
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:24,879
do you say, God, will you do this thing for

77
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:29,759
your name's sake? Do you do this for your name?

78
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,240
Say for your name's sake, Lord, do this for me, please,

79
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,800
so that you can become a testimony of God, a

80
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,199
memorial for lack of a better way of saying it,

81
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,759
in the earth, where we can look back at your

82
00:04:43,879 --> 00:04:45,720
life and say, this is the way that God has

83
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:49,519
been mighty. And the Bible continues that you may fear

84
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,800
the Lord your God forever. Have respect for God. Have

85
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,959
respect for God. He's worthy of this respect. This respect

86
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,839
is the word I use, not this. Okay, So let's

87
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:10,160
get some takeaways very quickly this Sabbath morning from the

88
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,319
same passage. We can start with the same passage, the

89
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,160
same two verses. I won't reread them. And now we're

90
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,720
going to couple it with a quote from the book

91
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:24,360
Testimonies for the Church. Whoops, let me go back life sketches.

92
00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:27,240
That's what I meant to say, page one ninety six.

93
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,759
We have nothing to fear. Somebody was waiting for this one.

94
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,480
We have nothing to fear for the future. Okay, you

95
00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:38,959
don't have a reason to fear for the future. You're

96
00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:41,560
wondering what's going to happen in politics wherever you happen

97
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:43,800
to live. You're trying to figure out what's going to

98
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,199
happen in the world where the weather patterns are concerned,

99
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:51,360
or some things that you understand from prophecy, and it's

100
00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:54,959
causing anxiety for you, or you're thinking about something that

101
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,800
you have to face at work or in some other way,

102
00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:02,079
and you're you're fearful. Well, I'm reading here under inspiration.

103
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,839
We have nothing to fear for the future, except as

104
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:09,720
we shall forget the way the Lord has led us

105
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:12,279
I just read a few experiences the people of God

106
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,839
had as he delivered them through the Red Sea, through

107
00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:20,120
the Jordan River on dry ground and destroyed those who

108
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,040
were God's enemies as they were pursuing them. And He

109
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,079
had given them so much land and so much booty,

110
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,079
and so much of the treasure of the people who

111
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,399
did not love God. So we need not to forget

112
00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:38,360
what He has done. Did he deliver you when you

113
00:06:38,399 --> 00:06:41,920
were in a complicated pregnancy, sister? Did he deliver you brother?

114
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,399
When you were in a relationship you shouldn't have been

115
00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:46,759
in and your mind was off and you were doing

116
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,600
things out of character based on that brokenness in that relationship,

117
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,720
and God delivered you. Did he deliver you son? Did

118
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:56,920
He deliver you daughter from whatever that thing was that

119
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,879
was happening at school that you felt like you couldn't

120
00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:03,120
tell your parents. We have no fear for the future,

121
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,360
except we shall forget the way the Lord has led

122
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:12,240
us and his teaching in our past history. So I'm

123
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,560
grateful that God has given us way marks in the

124
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,480
past that we can measure and say, God, since you

125
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,120
were so good, then I know that you will be

126
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:27,600
good today. Lesson number two forgetting leads to danger. The

127
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,360
Bible reads, only take heed to thyself that and keep

128
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:37,879
thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine

129
00:07:37,959 --> 00:07:42,000
eyes have seen, and less they depart from thy heart

130
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,720
all the days of thy life. From the Book of Deuteronomy,

131
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,839
chapter four and verse nine, and so. Another quote to

132
00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:52,040
support that from the book Testimonies for the Church, Volume five,

133
00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:55,480
page two hundred and thirty three. We must not forget God.

134
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,959
She just shot straight to that one, like we're not

135
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,600
even talking about just his movements. I shouldn't say just

136
00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:06,319
but his movements, she said, don't forget God. He is

137
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,160
our strength. Is God, your strength, brother, is God, your strength, sister.

138
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:17,279
He is our support, our shield, our exceeding great reward.

139
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,439
He will guide us safely through even every peril if

140
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:29,360
we only trust in him. Don't trust in your paycheck,

141
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,919
don't trust in your boss. Don't trust in those contracts

142
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,600
you have, those invoices you've sent out. Don't trust in

143
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,639
your healthy lifestyle, as if there is no way that

144
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,240
something can go wrong if you do do exactly as

145
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:48,240
you should. In twenty twenty five where your health is concerned,

146
00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:51,639
there is some danger scene and unseen that can still

147
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,080
snuff your life out. Do not trust in your ability

148
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,559
to memorize scripture, but trust in the God of the scripture.

149
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:03,399
You understand so so God will guide us safely through

150
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,759
every peril if we only trust Him, not our stuff,

151
00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:12,399
not our thoughts, not our whatever. And then and then

152
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,039
from Luke twenty two and verse nineteen, just a little bit,

153
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,559
this do in remembrance of me. Of course, the memorial

154
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:22,000
of the Last or the Lord's Supper. I should have said,

155
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:28,399
the memorials point to Christ. Do these in remembrance of me. Right,

156
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,679
the Cross of Christ will be the science and song

157
00:09:32,039 --> 00:09:36,879
of the Redeemed throughout all eternity, and Christ glorified. They

158
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:42,000
will behold Christ crucified. From the book Great Controversy, page

159
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:45,080
six fifty one, make memorials of grace.

160
00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

161
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

162
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

163
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
