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 Sabbath. It's
May twenty four, 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.
We're coming in at lesson number nine under the caption
in the Psalms Part two. In the Psalms Part two.
We'll get into that in just a moment, but before
we do, I'd like to say welcome to you and
happy Sabbath to everyone joining us, especially those joining us
for the very first time. Please go over to your
Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community 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.
And let me just say to those who are now
watching live, you're watching live, it's not after the fact.
I'm going to be with the communicators at Camp very
this morning, so I'll be happy to see you and
greet you if you are there as well. Let's go
ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father
in Heaven, thank you for giving us this Sabbath morning
and for the privilege to get into your word again
and see what you have taught us in the past
and how it connects to our days today. Please give
us your Holy Spirit in Jesus name. I pray, Amen
and Amen again. Let me begin by reading from Psalms
chapter sixty seven, and I'll read verses three and four.
Psalm Chapter sixty seven, verses three and four, And this
is coming in from the new King James version of
the Bible, and the Bible reads, Let the peoples praise you,
Oh God. Let all the peoples praise you, Oh Let
the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you
shall judge the people righteously. There are some people right
now that wish that as they're being judged, that they
would be judged righteously. Some people are in prison, some
people are being judged God forbid, by judgmental people inside
the house of faith. There are people who are being misjudged,
even in their own families, that wish that it was
God that was judging him. Judge God that was judging her,
because He's the one that judges the people righteously. And
the Bible continues and govern the nations on earth by
show of hands. And of course the Bible says cilah.
That is really, if I oversimplified, I would say God
is saying right here, pause, let that settle in until
we transition to the next thought. Okay, And so by
show of hands, how many people wish that their nation
was governed by God himself? Go ahead and type A
one in the chat if you wish that God would
be governing where you live right now himself, without an intermediary,
without other judges and magistrates and law enforcement and kings
and rulers and prime ministers and governor generals and presidents, etc.
And no disrespect to all of those positions. Now, in fact,
I wish I had the time to drill it. But
God says, all of those people now stand as representatives
of him. In fact, he said that he called them.
He actually called them gods lowercase g of course, not
the supreme ruler of the universe, not the one who
created heaven and the earth. But he called them this
because they actually represent Him in their respective positions. But
I can remember reading in the Bible when God was
the one before there was a king Saul in the
Old Testament. I wish in twenty twenty five, God himself,
without human beings in the way, would govern the nations
of the earth. But we know that he never slumbers,
he never sleeps. He's watching both day and night, and
he sets up kings and he brings them down. So
we know, at some point, very soon in the future,
I'm thinking about the coming of Jesus Christ. Very soon
in the future, Jesus will ascend that throne finally in
a special way where he will be seen as king
of kings. In reality he is already. But everybody will bow,
every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to
the glory of God the Father. I'm looking forward to
that day. But in the meantime, we say thank God
that He is moving through in and among people. And
so let me just begin by setting a principle. We're
going to set some principles as we look forward to
the new week and study. And so we want to
praise God personally and publicly. It's our privilege to let
the people praise THEE. Oh God, Let all the people
praise THEE. And so what I want you to do
as you get warmed up for the week is begin
and end each day by saying, with your actual mouth
or writing down praise, a direct expression of your gratitude,
not only for what God has done, which is amazing,
but for who He actually is. In fact, in Revelation
chapter fourteen and verse seven, the Bible reads saying, with
a loud voice, fear God and give glory to Him,
for the hour of his judgment is come. And worship
Him that made heaven and earth and the sea and
the fountains of waters. And so we have the privilege
of praising Him. Also we have the privilege of inviting
others into the joy of knowing God. We have the
privilege of inviting others into the privilege of the joy
of God. In Psalm chapter sixty seven, verse four, the
Bible reads, Oh, let the nations be glad and sing
for joy, for thou shalt judge the people righteously. We
should be joyful when God judges, not fearful. We should
be joyful when God judges not fearful. He has all
of the information, and Jesus Christ gave himself for us.
In fact, the Bible says in John chapter five and
verse twenty two that the Father judges no one given
judgment to Jesus Christ. So we see now Jesus in
this context, he's the judge. Yes, we know that he
is the true and faithful witness. We know that Jesus
Christ is the advocate with the Father. He's the righteous one.
We know that he also took the punishment for us.
And so in every way we are covered in judgment
when he judges righteously, if we will just yield our
will to him. In Revelation chapter fourteen and verse six,
the Bible says, I saw another angel fly in the
midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to do what
to preach unto them? That dwell on the earth, to
every nation, and every king kindred, and every tongue and
every people. What is this message that's being preached. It's
the everlasting Gospel. It is the power of God unto salvation,
like we can be saved through faith by Jesus Christ.
And this is the message that goes out. Those who
are bound to all kinds of terrible desires can be
free today. I'm talking about at this moment, eight minutes
into our broadcast. You can be delivered if you are
bound by alcoholism, if you are bound by being addicted
to illicit drugs or any other drug for that matter,
if you are bound to your own pride, like liking
yourself so much that you worship your own reflection in
the mirror or on social media, as the case may be,
you can be delivered today. This is the gospel that
God is able to save to the uttermost those who
are called by him. Why and how, because He ever
liveth to make intercession for us. Let me give you
at least one more Let worship shape your understanding of prophecy.
Worship of God. Of course, and in Psalm chapter sixty
seven three and four, let me say it more time,
let the people praise THEE for thou art judge. So
the action really is for every headline or end time
event you hear about, read about, etc. That you begin
to go into the scriptures, recite a psalm and praise God.
I want you to center your mindset, center your emotions,
center your thoughts on God, and begin to worship Him
and Revelation thirteen, verse four. The Bible is teaching us
that people worship the wrong things, but God gives us
the privilege of worshiping Him. Make it a great day.
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,
