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 --> 00:00:15,080 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 --> 00:00:33,119 author speaker Elle David Harris. 10 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning, it is Tuesday. It's 11 00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:39,479 May twenty twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,439 David Harris. I am your host, and this is your 13 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,880 Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,520 day and today is no exception. We are continuing in 15 00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:53,960 our lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and 16 00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:59,159 our caption for today is Law in Our Hearts. Law 17 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,520 in our Hearts. Will get into that in just a moment, 18 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,079 but first I'd like to say welcome to you and 19 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,799 ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com. 20 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,640 Please join our online community, pick up the Your Daily 21 00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:15,920 Portion Life application guide, and also let us know where 22 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,120 you are in the world at your Daily Portion dot com. 23 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,959 This is one of the ways that we continue to 24 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,560 build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray. Father, 25 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,480 we thank you for this day, thank you for writing 26 00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:33,560 your laws in our hearts and on our minds. Please 27 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,159 help us to live like that and not give that 28 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,159 crue reality back to you. In Jesus' name, I pray 29 00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:47,560 Amen and Amen again. Sometimes people have buyers remorse. Buyer's 30 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,640 remorse that means that we purchase something and then regret 31 00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:56,280 that we purchased it. Sometimes, even in relationship with God, 32 00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:59,120 people get to the point where they wish they were 33 00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:01,439 no longer in relationlationship with Him, And you're like, how 34 00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:04,840 is this possible? Why would anybody not want to continue 35 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,359 to be in relationship with God? Well, that is a 36 00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:13,680 great question. Yeah, Sometimes people recognize there's responsibility. There's responsibility 37 00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:17,360 that comes with people loving God. With connection with God. 38 00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:20,240 There are ways that we will choose not to speak 39 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,800 to people when they have disrespected us. I said, when 40 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,879 they have disrespected us. There are ways that we will 41 00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:31,080 not mistreat people when they have mistreated us. You see. 42 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,400 And so what God is giving us in this law 43 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,199 in our heart's principle is the impetus, the power, the 44 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:45,960 driver behind real holiness. It's not about our own abilities, 45 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,240 but it is him keeping his promise that those who 46 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,080 love him, He will keep his commandments through our lives, 47 00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:56,520 so that we live the name that is in the 48 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,520 foreheads of the people of God. You see. And so 49 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,919 I'm grateful that when Moses in the Old Testament he said, I, 50 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,680 if you will not go with us, God, show me 51 00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:16,280 your glory. That he understood that to have God show 52 00:03:16,439 --> 00:03:22,199 him his glory meant also that God would show his 53 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,759 glory through Moses. When you ask God to reveal himself 54 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,919 to you, now you're accepting the responsibility to be a 55 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,960 revelation of His will to the people who see you. 56 00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:39,719 The Bible says, let your light so shine before other humans, 57 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,520 so that when they see you, they see your good works, 58 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,439 they'll glorify our Father, which is in heaven. So when 59 00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:49,080 Moses came off of the mount, we'll talk about it 60 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,000 a little bit more in a moment. When he came 61 00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:54,159 down off of the mount with God, and the Bible 62 00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:57,319 says that he was so bright, his countenance was so 63 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,599 dazzling and bright that the people of God said, put 64 00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:04,879 on a veil because they were. They didn't believe as 65 00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:07,360 they should have put on a veil. Your face is 66 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,479 too bright. It was just too glorious. Cover that up, Moses. 67 00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:13,639 So Moses was in the presence of God to the 68 00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:17,519 degree that it wasn't that God just simply showed him, 69 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,600 which would have been amazing his glory. But God was 70 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,920 now showing through him his glory. And so let me 71 00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:28,839 give you these really quickly, and then we'll we'll move 72 00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:33,000 on Step one. Moses asked God to see his glory, 73 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,399 to see his glory. Moses didn't want signs and wonders. 74 00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:42,480 He wanted to see in reality who God was. Are 75 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,399 you asking God for things? Are you asking him for money? 76 00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:51,680 Are you asking him for understanding? Are you understand asking 77 00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:55,480 him for power? Are you asking him for comfort or 78 00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:58,879 a deeper view of his heart? What are you asking 79 00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:03,720 God for? Moses asks for his glory because he wanted 80 00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:07,759 to experience the reality of God. And then, of course 81 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,199 step two, God actually revealed his name and his character. 82 00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:15,680 Moses asks for his glory, and God revealed his name, 83 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:21,240 the Lord, Lord, God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, abundant 84 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,519 in goodness and truth. In chapter thirty four of Exodus, 85 00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:30,079 Verses six and seven. And so God's glory is power, Yes, 86 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,879 his power. But his power and his character are one 87 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,279 and the same. But sometimes we separate the two. We 88 00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:41,519 make it seem as if God thunders from the heavens 89 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,040 and his character doesn't come with him. You see, if 90 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,040 God is giving you power, Oh wait, I think there's 91 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,199 something in the New Testament about this. In fact, in 92 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,720 the Old Two when God gives you power, that's grace. 93 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,839 God gives you grace. That means He's giving you power 94 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,720 to do his will. When you live by grace through faith, 95 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,600 faith is the vehicle through which the power of God 96 00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:11,360 is transfered into your life. You are now transformed. Shout 97 00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:15,639 to the electricians in the room transformer, transformer, there is 98 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,680 some power in those transformers. You are transformed into the 99 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,399 image of God. So when he gives you his glory, 100 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,519 he gives you his grace. The reality is He's transforming 101 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,279 you into his actual likeness. So God's glory is about 102 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,519 his character and power both together. And when God proclaims 103 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,560 his name, he reveals how He's going to treat us. 104 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,439 He reveals how we can live in this world in 105 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,800 his name, representing his character. Okay, and so number three, 106 00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:55,120 Also remembering God's name leads into obedience. Yes, I thank God. 107 00:06:55,319 --> 00:06:57,639 He writes his laws in our hearts. He keeps his 108 00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:00,120 promise that if we love him, he will keep his 109 00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:04,639 commandments through our lives. And so now remembering God's name 110 00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:09,160 leads us to obedience. In Psalms, chapter one hundred and 111 00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:12,000 nineteen and verse fifty five, the Bible reads, I have 112 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,519 remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night, and have 113 00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:22,399 kept oh wait a minute, thy law. So remembering God's 114 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,839 name is also to keep his law. So if I 115 00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:30,759 am no longer doing what God says, if I am 116 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,879 no longer avoiding the things God would have me to avoid, 117 00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:37,040 if I'm no longer treating people in the way that 118 00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:40,160 He treated us with love, then that means I have 119 00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:43,879 forgotten his name. That means that I have gotten a rubber, 120 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,720 as we would say here in Jamaica, I've gotten an 121 00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:51,959 eraser and taken off and effaced and destroyed the name 122 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,920 of God that was supposed to be in my forehead. 123 00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:57,680 Can you get that imagery? Can you imagine God has 124 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,160 inscribed his own name, his his will in your forehead, 125 00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:05,040 and then somehow you're trying to remove it. Come on, 126 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,920 this is not what God intended when he said that 127 00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:11,360 he was going to write his name in our foreheads. 128 00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:15,279 Thankfully in the Bible, that doesn't make it possible, Like 129 00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:18,480 we don't take the name of God out of our foreheads. 130 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,560 These are people who have fully and finally decided to 131 00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:24,600 walk with God. But I want you to remember God's 132 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,399 name is to hold fast to who he is, especially 133 00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:32,879 in those dark times, those times of trial and difficulty, 134 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,600 and to live in harmony with Him according to his will. 135 00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:39,679 This is what I want you to do with this 136 00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:45,320 though in your hardest moments, remember remember who God is. 137 00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:50,879 Let his character keep you anchored in His word, in 138 00:08:51,159 --> 00:08:55,200 his words so much I could and maybe should have said, 139 00:08:55,919 --> 00:08:58,879 but so little time. Let me see if I can 140 00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:04,320 just read a couple of passages here as I let 141 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:09,080 you go. The Bible says in Exodus, chapter thirty three 142 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,000 and verse nineteen, I will make all my goodness pass 143 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,720 before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the 144 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,440 Lord before thee. This is what God told Moses as 145 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:27,000 he was fulfilling what Moses desired. God promised to show 146 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:32,159 his goodness and to proclaim his name is your life 147 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,840 a reflection of God's goodness? Is your life a reflection 148 00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:40,960 of God's name? Masking myself the same? And with the 149 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,879 power of the Holy Ghost, we can say yes peace. 150 00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot 151 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639 live by bread alone, but by every word that comes 152 00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720 from the mouth of God. This has been your daily 153 00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279 portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah.
