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
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,039
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Wednesday. It's

11
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:40,320
September ten, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El

12
00:00:40,439 --> 00:00:43,359
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:47,240
Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single day,

14
00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:50,039
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

15
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:53,159
Lesson study series through the Book of Exodus, and our

16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:01:00,479
caption for today is God's Righteous Wrath, God's Righteous Wrath.

17
00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:03,159
Before we get into that, I'd like to just say

18
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:05,000
welcome to you and ask you to go over to

19
00:01:05,079 --> 00:01:08,840

At your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of

23
00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:24,640
the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.

24
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,040
Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,879
Father in Heaven, thank you for giving us the opportunity

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,480
to come together again this morning. You have given us

27
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:38,920
the blueprint for relationship with you. Please help us to

28
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:43,560
live in right relationship with you. In Jesus' name, I pray,

29
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:52,640
Amen and Amen again God's righteous wrath. So much to say,

30
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,319
so much to say. Have you ever had someone who

31
00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:00,959
really loves you angry with you? Talking about someone who

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,719
has your best interest at heart? Think about maybe your parents, Like,

33
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,879
There've only been a couple of times that I was

34
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:14,199
actually angry with my son Josiah. You know, there were

35
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,400
times that I just literally and I don't want to

36
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,240
tell his business here because now he's old enough to care.

37
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,560
But they're just a couple of times. But guess what

38
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:27,560
I always meant for his good. I always meant his good,

39
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,479
and so I gave him everything that he needed to

40
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,680
be successful. And in those situations where he chose another path,

41
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,680
sometimes I was disappointed. Sometimes I wish he had gone

42
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,199
another way. But they are just a couple of times

43
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,080
that it was it required wrath. That's what I'm saying

44
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,080
to you. I'm not going to tell you what the

45
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,000
wrath meant, because that's really none of anybody's business.

46
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: Right.

47
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: But there are times when God is disappointed, even though

48
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,879
he knows what we're going to do before we do it,

49
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,000
he knows what we won't do before we don't do it. Right,

50
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,919
But there are times that warrant action. And so now

51
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,840
God is about to take action with his people. But

52
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:17,080
there's just one thing. One of his people actually understood

53
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:23,960
what we would learn about Messiah eventually, about interceding, intervening

54
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,319
with God in order to get a result that is

55
00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:31,800
of mercy for the people God loves. And so from

56
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,479
the book Patriarchs and Prophets, page one hundred and forty,

57
00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:38,919
we read the true leader forget self in his care

58
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,879
of the flock. Committed to his charge. He loses sight

59
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,159
of himself in his interest for those whom God has

60
00:03:49,199 --> 00:03:53,719
appointed him to feed and to shepherd. Can I just

61
00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:58,199
say that a little bit slower? Yeah, True shepherds aren't

62
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:02,000
thinking about ourselves. We're thinking about how we can feed,

63
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,639
how we can protect, how we can nurture the people

64
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,680
that God has entrusted to us, and Moses was a

65
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:13,639
good shepherd. I know what I just said. And so

66
00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:17,600
from Exodus, chapter thirty two and verse eleven, on the

67
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:21,199
heels of the people of God creating a new idol,

68
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,560
and Aaron being more than just complicit. Now he's leading

69
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,639
them down the wrong path. Moses' is back, and the

70
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,120
Bible reads, and Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord,

71
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,800
why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people? Notice

72
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,120
he is identifying that these are your people, God, which

73
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:45,800
thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt

74
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:49,079
with great power? Like God, why would you deliver your

75
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,240
people from captivity where in the same captivity they could

76
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,560
have been destroyed. Why would you deliver them from that

77
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:01,160
destruction only to destroy them? God? God, why would you

78
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,199
do that? You brought them out of Egypt with power

79
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,600
and a mighty hand. Why would you do that? God? So,

80
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,000
when offered the chance to become the father of a

81
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,199
new nation, think about it. God said, I'm gonna blot

82
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,879
them people out, those people that you brought out of Egypt.

83
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,560
I'm about to blot those guys out. I'm blotting them

84
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,879
people out, and I will create a new nation, like,

85
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,720
we can do this all over again. I don't need

86
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:26,519
these people. That's what it sounds like if we're not

87
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:30,519
really thinking or listening with God. But that's the word

88
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,439
that he gave. Moses chose to plead instead of taking

89
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,040
God up on that offer. Moses chose to plead for

90
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:45,040
God's people, instead of pursuing his personal legacy. How many

91
00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:47,199
of you, I'm not asking you to actually type it

92
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,560
in the chat. How many of you when God says

93
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,560
we can do this all over again, we can do

94
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:54,959
it right, we can do it with you forget these people.

95
00:05:55,319 --> 00:05:58,079
How many of you would have said, all right, God, well,

96
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,839
if that's the way you want it, we can do that.

97
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,439
Build them off for me. I'm good. But that is

98
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,519
not what our brother did. So we can learn now

99
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,199
to pray. We pray daily for others, asking God to

100
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,240
fulfill his promises in their lives, even when it costs

101
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,920
you recognition or advantage. I'm talking about the people of

102
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,199
God in this case. There are times that I encounter

103
00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:31,040
men standing outside of the church of God's people and

104
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,759
God standing outside with all kinds of pamphlets and tracks

105
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,600
and little books and trying to pull people away from God.

106
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:45,360
Away from God's church with all kinds of really dark things.

107
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:50,399
Instead of being helpful and interceding for the people of God,

108
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:53,680
they're trying to pick out the details of the people

109
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,800
of God's mistakes between them and God, if in fact

110
00:06:56,879 --> 00:07:00,879
those are true reality, like sometimes people make up stuff.

111
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:04,000
Instead of being on the team with God and his people,

112
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,439
these people are pulling them away. Well, Moses stayed on

113
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,680
the team. He said, God, let's work together. These are

114
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,240
your people, Please do not block them out. And then

115
00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:19,680
comes from verse nineteen of Exodus, chapter thirty two, and

116
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,879
the Bible reads, and it came to pass as soon

117
00:07:21,959 --> 00:07:25,480
as he came nigh unto the camp and saw the

118
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,560
calf and the dancing, and Moses's anger waxed hot. He

119
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,439
cast the tables out of his hands and break them

120
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:38,000
beneath the mountain. Let me just say that we can

121
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:42,959
intellectually and maybe even emotionally understand why Moses reacted in

122
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,839
the way he did, even though God had shown him,

123
00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:47,920
he told him what they were doing down there. He

124
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,240
knew it wasn't war like. He knew what was going on,

125
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:52,879
and he goes down there, but when he sees it,

126
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:57,360
his emotions got the better of him, and he physically

127
00:07:57,399 --> 00:08:02,439
breaks the commandment stones that God emblazing the ten words

128
00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:05,720
with his own fingers. He breaks them as a symbol

129
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:09,120
of the people breaking the covenant. But God dealt with him.

130
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,399
He should never have done that. God's wrath is God's wrath,

131
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:18,000
he said, vengeance's mind. Don't do that, Moses. And so

132
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,160
Moses is breaking of the tablets, as I said, symbolize

133
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:26,240
the people breaking God's law. Rebellion demands a firm and

134
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:30,439
decisive response. But of course we need to have the

135
00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:36,399
right one when sin appears in your influence or responsibility,

136
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,600
confronted with truth and commitment to restore God's order. One

137
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,960
thing that et Eric Thomas has been teaching the community

138
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:53,039
that we help people in He's always talking about the

139
00:08:53,159 --> 00:08:58,200
difference between between in a motion based response and a

140
00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:04,279
principle based response or decision making process. In this case,

141
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:08,399
Moses could have chosen the principle. But we understand what

142
00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:13,960
went wrong. We understand now finally, finally, from Exodus, chapter

143
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,720
thirty two and verse twenty four, and he said, unto them,

144
00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:21,240
whosoever hath any gold, let him break it off. So

145
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,879
they gave it to me. This is Aaron's excuse. Then

146
00:09:23,919 --> 00:09:26,759
I cast it into the fire and there came out

147
00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:30,200
this calf. So Aaron is trying to say that some

148
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:36,879
kind of magical, mystical thing happened instead of taking responsibility. Listen,

149
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,759
if you are guilty of something with God, the safest

150
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:44,679
place to be is honest. Be honest with God and

151
00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:46,639
let him make your joining us peace.

152
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Always. Remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

153
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

154
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your daily portion with el David Harris, make

155
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,279
it a great day. Yeah,
