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
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Tuesday. It's

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,960
September sixteen, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is Elle

12
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:43,600
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:47,000
Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,

14
00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:49,719
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

15
00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:52,600
lesson study series through the Book of Exodus under the

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,600
caption and don't be confused. I know we use it

17
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,119
the other day. Please show me your glory. We're going

18
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,640
to look at it more mostly today. Please show me

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,000
your glory. Before we get into that, I'd like to

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,840
just say welcome to you and ask you to go

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,640
over to your Daily Portion dot com if you've not

22
00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:14,040
already done so, please join our online community, pick up

23
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,200
your Daily Portion life application guide and let us know

24
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:21,519
where you are in the world at your Daily Portion

25
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,439
dot com. This is one of the ways that we

26
00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:28,719
continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and

27
00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:33,040
pray and then get under way. Father, thank you for

28
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:39,519
being willing to reveal yourself to us and through us.

29
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:45,400
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. Straight

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,959
out of the lesson, after the Golden Calf apostasy, Moses

31
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:54,879
interceded for God's people and wanted to be assured that

32
00:01:54,959 --> 00:01:59,239
the Lord would continue leading them to the Promised Land.

33
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:02,519
Deep down within his being, he also wanted to know

34
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:07,000
the Lord better. Do you want to know God better?

35
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,479
Do you want to know Him like we spoke about

36
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:12,520
this the other day, to know God?

37
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: Like?

38
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:16,479
Speaker 2: Do you really want to know God better? And then

39
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:19,639
as you know and learn to love Him more, are

40
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,199
you willing to be transformed by God? As you get

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,879
to know Him and are transformed by God? Are you

42
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:33,520
willing to represent God in your space? Good question. It's

43
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,599
a time of reflection, and so we go in to

44
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,560
this lesson straight at the beginning, at the beginning, at

45
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,000
the beginning, and the Bible reads here. The Bible reads here.

46
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:48,280
And he said, I beseech THEE show me thy glory.

47
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,840
And he said, I will make all my goodness passed

48
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,159
before THEE, and it came to pass, while my shall

49
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,199
come to pass, while my glory passeth by. That I

50
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,599
will put THEE in the cliff of the rock, and

51
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,199
I will cover THEE with my hand, and eye will

52
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,960
pass by. And again this comes on the heels of

53
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,400
the Great Apostasy, when Aaron is making excuses and God's

54
00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:18,199
people are looking to break the law again by having

55
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:21,280
other gods before God. And so the purpose of the

56
00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:26,159
request was not just for Moses to see God like

57
00:03:26,199 --> 00:03:28,919
what would be the purpose of that in Moses's mind

58
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,039
in his physical form, but to know his inner reality,

59
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:39,000
his nature, his character, his presence and covenant faithfulness. Moses

60
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,240
wanted to know that God was with him every step

61
00:03:43,479 --> 00:03:46,080
of the way. And so now we go to the

62
00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:50,000
term for glory. Norman, I'm calling your name again, Norman,

63
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:50,840
are you listening.

64
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: Ha.

65
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:59,599
Speaker 2: The glory term there literally means weight or substance. Like

66
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:04,199
when Moses is asking for God to reveal his glory

67
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:07,800
to him, he's asking for the weight uh and the

68
00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:12,120
substance of God. He wants to be certain that as

69
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,759
clear as you're hearing my voice right now, or if

70
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:20,519
you're not able to hear, you're seeing the closed caption

71
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:24,240
for the hearing impaired, and you're able to sense when

72
00:04:24,319 --> 00:04:26,920
someone is in the room with you and they're speaking

73
00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:29,920
to you, and you can reach out and grasp their hand,

74
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,160
when you are in the vehicle with somebody and the

75
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,240
vehicle's but so big. I'm talking about your little car,

76
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:39,160
and you know your husband, your wife, your children are

77
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:45,759
in the vehicle. That plus more, God is manifesting the Kahbad,

78
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:50,399
the khbad, the glory, the weight, the substance of himself

79
00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:54,680
in a way that Moses could actually experience in this

80
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,240
context that refers to the fullness and reality of God's being.

81
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:03,040
A I'm sure that God is with you. Do you

82
00:05:03,079 --> 00:05:06,600
have the reality of the substance of God in your life?

83
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,920
I'm talking about right now, we're about five minutes into

84
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:13,720
our broadcast this morning. Are you sure in this moment

85
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:16,319
that God is with you? And if not, begin to

86
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:20,720
praise him. Begin to praise him because God said that

87
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,279
he inhabits the praises of his people. Jermaine I'm asking you,

88
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:27,600
and you know I'm talking to you, brother, like you

89
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,519
Jermaine A. I'm talking to you. Yeah, yeah, Begin to

90
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,639
praise him right now. Praise him like you don't. Got

91
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,759
no sense like you have, you have no barriers, no

92
00:05:39,959 --> 00:05:43,600
filters in the way, because he said that he inhabits

93
00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:47,199
the praises of his people, and you will experience the glory,

94
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,759
not just the brilliance, not just the brilliance of his

95
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,399
effulgent brightness, but of his moral perfection. And then he

96
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,959
said that his goodness would pass before Moses, and indeed

97
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,040
did this goodness from the term that is there in

98
00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:09,480
Hebrew means moral excellence and generosity. This is what God

99
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:16,079
says will pass before Moses, revealing that his glory is

100
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,199
tied to his goodness and his grace. They go together.

101
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:26,600
His glory is tied to his goodness and his grace.

102
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,360
You see, you don't get to just be in God's

103
00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:32,839
presence and then live like the devil after you've been

104
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,480
in God's presence. I hope you're listening to me this morning.

105
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,519
We don't get to just hang out in the space

106
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,079
we call the presence and do any little foolish and

107
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:46,399
evil thing that we decide to do. How many times

108
00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:49,639
do people appear before the presence of God and even

109
00:06:49,879 --> 00:06:55,120
say or faign that they are representing God as ministers

110
00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:59,720
in worship, whether they're singing or somehow using instruments or speaking,

111
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,839
or teaching or serving in some way. And we don't

112
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:09,439
represent his goodness, we don't represent his grace. In that case,

113
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,639
we don't represent the glory. I'm promising you that this

114
00:07:12,759 --> 00:07:16,040
is not a joke thing. Yes, we appear before the

115
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:20,319
presence of God, so that now the weight, the substance

116
00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:23,319
of who God is goes with you. Take the name

117
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,560
of Jesus with you. I heard the hymn writer pen

118
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,680
and so from the book Acts of the Apostles, page

119
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:33,360
five hundred and thirty, we read, it is the glory

120
00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:38,639
of God to give his virtue to his children. That's power,

121
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:43,759
that's his moral excellence. He desires to see men and

122
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:49,399
women reaching the highest standard. In the book Christ's object

123
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,680
Lessons page four hundred and fifteen, we read, his glory

124
00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:58,279
is his character. And so God's response to Moses shows

125
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:03,680
that true divine glory is moral, but it's also relational.

126
00:08:04,399 --> 00:08:08,000
It's all about relationship. It's not just about visual splendor.

127
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,360
It's not just something from which we shield our eyes

128
00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:14,079
and say that the Son Blessed be his name of

129
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,680
righteousness is in this place, and we bow our heads.

130
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,800
Because sometimes people bow their heads and then peque with

131
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:23,680
one eye, and they're not really bowing. They're just wanting

132
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,120
to see who will see them, who is going to

133
00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:30,399
see their false worship, and expect that somehow that is

134
00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:34,000
going to magnify their own name. Look at how he's bowing,

135
00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:37,799
look at how she is bowing. The light and the

136
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,679
majesty are real, but they are expressions of his goodness,

137
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:48,679
his mercy, and his justice. When God reveals his glory,

138
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:52,480
he wants to reveal it to you, yes, But more

139
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,279
than that, he wants to reveal it through you, to

140
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,519
where you become the revelation of Jesus Christ. I know

141
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,320
what I just said. I said to where you become

142
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:07,399
the revelation of Jesus Christ. The Bible says that God

143
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,919
wants you to let your light so shine before humankind

144
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:16,279
that they will see your good works and then give

145
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:20,799
glory glorify your Father, which is in heaven. And so

146
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,360
in conclusion and conclusion, we know that knowing God's glory

147
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:28,879
means knowing his character. If we seek God's glory, we

148
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,799
must be opening ourselves to his mercy, his justice, his patience,

149
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,879
and his love, and be willing to give that to

150
00:09:38,039 --> 00:09:42,519
others so they too can know the glory of God.

151
00:09:42,799 --> 00:09:44,320
Make it a great day, Peace.

152
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

153
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

154
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

155
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah.
