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
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,759
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Sabbath. It's

11
00:00:35,759 --> 00:00:40,640
September thirteen, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El

and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,039
lesson study series through the Book of Exodus. We are

16
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:57,119
actually in lesson number twelve of thirteen under the caption

17
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:02,359
please show me your gloe glory, Oh God, please show

18
00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:05,799

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,599

00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,040
you for this day and the blessing of the Sabbath hours.

28
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:40,120
Thank you for the time that You've entrusted to us

29
00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:44,079
to get closer to you and live like you would

30
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:46,840
have us to live in these last days. Father, please

31
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,680
please make us holy in Jesus' name. I pray, Amen

32
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:59,680
and Amen again. Show me, please your glory. Norman, are

33
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:02,359
you That's what I want to know. Jonathan, are you listening?

34
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,199
Show me your glory? Yeah, So there's so much here.

35
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:11,159
I'll just begin with the Bible Book of Exodus, chapter

36
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,360
thirty four. That's the Book of Exodus, chapter thirty four,

37
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,120
verses six and seven, and the Bible reads, and the

38
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:26,919
Lord passed before him and proclaimed the Lord, the Lord, God,

39
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:31,759
merciful and gracious. Now you want to know why am

40
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,319
I clapping. I'm clapping because God is announcing himself. I

41
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,639
understand that some people have a problem with applause, and

42
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:43,159
I think if you're talking about applauding people because you

43
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,360
think they're so wonderful, and then there's a discussion about

44
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,360
whether or not the individuals will become proud or whatever.

45
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,879
I'm not talking about people now, I'm talking about God. Now.

46
00:02:54,479 --> 00:03:00,039
God is honoring Moses's request when he said, if I

47
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,319
have found favor with you, God, will you just show

48
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,240
me your glory? And then God begins to announce himself.

49
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:11,840
I'm hearing the song in my mind, all rise, And

50
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,840
if you're rising in the presence of God and he's

51
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,199
announcing his own arrival, the only thing I can think

52
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:25,520
about doing besides worshiping is praising Him. And so I

53
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:28,159
clap my hands in this moment, and I say, I

54
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,039
hear you, the Lord, the Lord, God, merciful and gracious?

55
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,360
Has God been merciful to you? Like that's a silly question,

56
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:38,599
but I need you to be honest with the answer.

57
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:42,599
Has He been gracious to you? Meaning, has He given

58
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:46,400
you what you don't deserve in order to empower you

59
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,479
to do his will so that you can receive the

60
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,800
reward that Jesus deserves. Has He been long suffering to

61
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:58,639
you patient? I'm talking about patience. Has he abounded in

62
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:02,680
goodness and truth, truth keeping mercy for thousands. Are you

63
00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:06,360
among the thousands forgiving iniquity? That's the kind of thing

64
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,080
that we do wrong, that is a transgression of God's law,

65
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,120
And we know God is watching and literally don't care.

66
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:17,959
Has God ever forgiven that emboldened type sin in your life?

67
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:23,319
And transgression and sin by no means clearing the guilty.

68
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,959
We know that God doesn't change his standard, He does

69
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,399
not change his law in order to accommodate us. Visiting

70
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:34,399
the iniquity. Oh God, I'm so sorry, visiting the iniquity

71
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,720
of the fathers upon the children and the children's children

72
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,360
to the third and fourth generation. This is who is

73
00:04:45,399 --> 00:04:49,800
appearing before or this is whom Moses is appearing before,

74
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:55,879
and God is announcing his own arrival. Now the beauty

75
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,120
of this is God said yes. God said yes, yes,

76
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,480
And it was so beautiful because really, like Moses should

77
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,959
have been destroyed if you think about it from a

78
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:13,720
human perspective, appearing before God. Are you serious? Yeah, Moses

79
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,879
should have been destroyed. But God is so good, and

80
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,160
you want to say, well, how good is he? He's

81
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:22,199
so good that when he said yes to Moses and

82
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,279
then brought Moses into his presence. He said, there shall

83
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,839
no one see me and live. So here's what I'm

84
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,800
gonna do. I Am going to put you into the

85
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,240
cleft of the rock. So we're gonna cover you with

86
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:38,079
the rock. Oh, have you been ever ever covered by

87
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,759
the rock which is Christ? And then what I'm gonna

88
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:43,439
do is, I'm going to cover your own eyes. I'm

89
00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:46,639
gonna cover your eyes with my own hand. Has God

90
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,319
ever covered you with his hands? Have you ever been

91
00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:53,920
under his wings? Have you ever been under the wings

92
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,480
of God and protected by him? And then the Bible

93
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,439
says that God turns his own back, and then this

94
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,720
experience happens, and so Moses experienced God at such a

95
00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:14,519
high level, and God protected him as he condescended in

96
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,560
order to give Moses another experience with him. I guess

97
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,079
the burning bush experience expired in Moses's mind, huh. I

98
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,279
guess the time that Moses experienced with the with the

99
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:30,839
pillar of fire by night and the pillar of cloud

100
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:34,319
by day got him addicted to the presence of God.

101
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:40,560
And in that moment it was so astounding that Moses's face,

102
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,360
his countenance, really, that's the space behind his face like

103
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,319
the essence of who Moses was became so bright that

104
00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:53,839
the people said, cover that up. Moses, You've been in

105
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:56,680
the presence. You have been in the presence of God,

106
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,639
to the degree that you have now taken on the

107
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:06,120
brightness that exudes from God himself. Blessed be his name.

108
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,720
Because of their unbelief, they wanted him to shield them

109
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,720
from it. But the lesson number one here is God's

110
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:20,279
character is the foundation of our growth. God's character is

111
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,720
the foundation of our growth. And so I want you

112
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,519
to meditate on one of the attributes that we just

113
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,279
announced from the scriptures. One of the attributes. Is it

114
00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:32,920
God's justice? Is it his holiness? Is it his long suffering?

115
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,879
Is it ness? Or the fact that he is gracious

116
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,800
or merciful? Meditate on that daily. I'm talking about it

117
00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:45,160
every single day, no matter what else we say. Beginning tomorrow,

118
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,759
I want you to do this and then ask Him

119
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:53,360
to form that same character trait in your life. Now

120
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,560
I'm clapping for you because I am excited that you

121
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:01,319
are in a position to be transformed by the character

122
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:04,000
of God. Number two we come in from two Peter,

123
00:08:04,439 --> 00:08:08,560
chapter three and verse eighteen, where the Bible says, but

124
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,839
grow in grace. Don't get stuck in grace. Don't get

125
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:16,240
caught up in the grace from yesterday. Thank God for that.

126
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,879
But I want you to grow in grace and in

127
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:23,519
the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To

128
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:29,319
him be Glory, Oh God, both now and forever. Amen, Norman,

129
00:08:29,399 --> 00:08:33,000
are you listening. I said your word more than once today, Brother,

130
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,720
I said glory, hallelujah. And so we never graduate from

131
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:42,840
God's school of grace. I'm saying, we never graduate from

132
00:08:42,879 --> 00:08:47,039
God's school of grace. Every stage of our walk is

133
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:52,519
an opportunity for deeper transformation. And so we want to

134
00:08:52,639 --> 00:08:57,919
identify just one area of our spiritual lives where we

135
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,279
have plateaued. Look the word up. If we've gotten to

136
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,120
a point now and we're stuck, set a daily habit

137
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,600
to nurture growth in that area. You feel like you've prayed,

138
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,159
and you've prayed, and you prayed and you hit a wall,

139
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,679
you hit a glass ceiling that, get in your closet,

140
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,720
on your face and pray. You understand. That's it for

141
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,759
basic understanding. Let me hurry up right here first, and

142
00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:26,399
our third lesson comes in from Philippians, chapter one and

143
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,559
verse six. Being confident of this very thing, that He

144
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,240
which began a good work in you, will perform it

145
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,440
until the day of Jesus. He's the one that started

146
00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:42,159
with you. All you need to do is continue to surrender,

147
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,080
and he will finish his work peace.

148
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

149
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

150
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

151
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah.
