Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning, it is Tuesday. It's
May twenty twenty twenty five. 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 how to study Bible Prophecy, and
our caption for today is Law in Our Hearts. Law
in our Hearts. Will get into that 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 join our online community, pick up the Your Daily
Portion Life application guide, and also let us know where
you are in the world at your Daily Portion dot com.
This is one of the ways that we continue to
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray. Father,
we thank you for this day, thank you for writing
your laws in our hearts and on our minds. Please
help us to live like that and not give that
crue reality back to you. In Jesus' name, I pray
Amen and Amen again. Sometimes people have buyers remorse. Buyer's
remorse that means that we purchase something and then regret
that we purchased it. Sometimes, even in relationship with God,
people get to the point where they wish they were
no longer in relationlationship with Him, And you're like, how
is this possible? Why would anybody not want to continue
to be in relationship with God? Well, that is a
great question. Yeah, Sometimes people recognize there's responsibility. There's responsibility
that comes with people loving God. With connection with God.
There are ways that we will choose not to speak
to people when they have disrespected us. I said, when
they have disrespected us. There are ways that we will
not mistreat people when they have mistreated us. You see.
And so what God is giving us in this law
in our heart's principle is the impetus, the power, the
driver behind real holiness. It's not about our own abilities,
but it is him keeping his promise that those who
love him, He will keep his commandments through our lives,
so that we live the name that is in the
foreheads of the people of God. You see. And so
I'm grateful that when Moses in the Old Testament he said, I,
if you will not go with us, God, show me
your glory. That he understood that to have God show
him his glory meant also that God would show his
glory through Moses. When you ask God to reveal himself
to you, now you're accepting the responsibility to be a
revelation of His will to the people who see you.
The Bible says, let your light so shine before other humans,
so that when they see you, they see your good works,
they'll glorify our Father, which is in heaven. So when
Moses came off of the mount, we'll talk about it
a little bit more in a moment. When he came
down off of the mount with God, and the Bible
says that he was so bright, his countenance was so
dazzling and bright that the people of God said, put
on a veil because they were. They didn't believe as
they should have put on a veil. Your face is
too bright. It was just too glorious. Cover that up, Moses.
So Moses was in the presence of God to the
degree that it wasn't that God just simply showed him,
which would have been amazing his glory. But God was
now showing through him his glory. And so let me
give you these really quickly, and then we'll we'll move
on Step one. Moses asked God to see his glory,
to see his glory. Moses didn't want signs and wonders.
He wanted to see in reality who God was. Are
you asking God for things? Are you asking him for money?
Are you asking him for understanding? Are you understand asking
him for power? Are you asking him for comfort or
a deeper view of his heart? What are you asking
God for? Moses asks for his glory because he wanted
to experience the reality of God. And then, of course
step two, God actually revealed his name and his character.
Moses asks for his glory, and God revealed his name,
the Lord, Lord, God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, abundant
in goodness and truth. In chapter thirty four of Exodus,
Verses six and seven. And so God's glory is power, Yes,
his power. But his power and his character are one
and the same. But sometimes we separate the two. We
make it seem as if God thunders from the heavens
and his character doesn't come with him. You see, if
God is giving you power, Oh wait, I think there's
something in the New Testament about this. In fact, in
the Old Two when God gives you power, that's grace.
God gives you grace. That means He's giving you power
to do his will. When you live by grace through faith,
faith is the vehicle through which the power of God
is transfered into your life. You are now transformed. Shout
to the electricians in the room transformer, transformer, there is
some power in those transformers. You are transformed into the
image of God. So when he gives you his glory,
he gives you his grace. The reality is He's transforming
you into his actual likeness. So God's glory is about
his character and power both together. And when God proclaims
his name, he reveals how He's going to treat us.
He reveals how we can live in this world in
his name, representing his character. Okay, and so number three,
Also remembering God's name leads into obedience. Yes, I thank God.
He writes his laws in our hearts. He keeps his
promise that if we love him, he will keep his
commandments through our lives. And so now remembering God's name
leads us to obedience. In Psalms, chapter one hundred and
nineteen and verse fifty five, the Bible reads, I have
remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night, and have
kept oh wait a minute, thy law. So remembering God's
name is also to keep his law. So if I
am no longer doing what God says, if I am
no longer avoiding the things God would have me to avoid,
if I'm no longer treating people in the way that
He treated us with love, then that means I have
forgotten his name. That means that I have gotten a rubber,
as we would say here in Jamaica, I've gotten an
eraser and taken off and effaced and destroyed the name
of God that was supposed to be in my forehead.
Can you get that imagery? Can you imagine God has
inscribed his own name, his his will in your forehead,
and then somehow you're trying to remove it. Come on,
this is not what God intended when he said that
he was going to write his name in our foreheads.
Thankfully in the Bible, that doesn't make it possible, Like
we don't take the name of God out of our foreheads.
These are people who have fully and finally decided to
walk with God. But I want you to remember God's
name is to hold fast to who he is, especially
in those dark times, those times of trial and difficulty,
and to live in harmony with Him according to his will.
This is what I want you to do with this
though in your hardest moments, remember remember who God is.
Let his character keep you anchored in His word, in
his words so much I could and maybe should have said,
but so little time. Let me see if I can
just read a couple of passages here as I let
you go. The Bible says in Exodus, chapter thirty three
and verse nineteen, I will make all my goodness pass
before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the
Lord before thee. This is what God told Moses as
he was fulfilling what Moses desired. God promised to show
his goodness and to proclaim his name is your life
a reflection of God's goodness? Is your life a reflection
of God's name? Masking myself the same? And with the
power of the Holy Ghost, we can say yes peace.
Speaker 1: 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.
