1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,

2
00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:07,879
because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,240
today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,400
portion of heavenly manna the word of God to keep

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,199
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,280
to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today

7
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:27,399
and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879
Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker

9
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:33,039
Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Wednesday. It's

11
00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:40,159
July thirty, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,840
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,640
Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single day,

14
00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:49,640
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

15
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:52,320
Lesson study series through the Book of Exodus. Of course,

16
00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:57,000
we're going from Egypt straight through to the Land of Promise.

17
00:00:57,479 --> 00:01:02,759
Our caption for today is passing the Torch. Passing the Torch.

18
00:01:03,119 --> 00:01:04,879
We'll get into that in just a moment, but first

19
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:06,439
i'd like to say welcome to you and ask you

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,400
to go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please

21
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,840
join our online community, pick up the your Daily Portion

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,840
life application guide and also let us know where you

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,519
are in the world at your Daily Portion dot com.

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,120
This is one of the ways that we continue to

25
00:01:24,239 --> 00:01:28,040
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and

26
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:30,560
then we will get underway. Father, we thank you for

27
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,840
this new day and for giving us the ability to

28
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:37,840
see where we are and then where we need to

29
00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:41,760
be if only we believe. Thank you for giving us

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,680
the privilege of being called by your name, but help

31
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:47,760
us to see our part, not just see it, but

32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,439
own the responsibility and do your will in Jesus' name.

33
00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:56,079
I pray, Amen and Amen again. I just want to

34
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,439
give a great big shout out to my sister Mignon

35
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:04,439
and Sooi because that seeing where we are and where

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,879
we need to be to be if only we believe,

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,280
is something that she has etched in my spirit, and

38
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:15,759
I'm grateful because some people don't have vision. The Bible

39
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,039
says without vision, the people perish, and that is not

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,960
our testimony. That must not be our testimony. We must

41
00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:28,560
not see our cells in the past. We must not

42
00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:33,840
see ourselves through the lens of other people whose minds

43
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,919
are limited. We must see ourselves through the lens of

44
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,280
the one who created us and has a particular calling

45
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,120
on our lives. Okay, and so with that we begin.

46
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:50,479
We begin by reading from the Bible Book of Exodus,

47
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:56,159
Exodus chapter twelve, verses twenty four through twenty eight, Exodus

48
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,240
chapter twelve, verses twenty four to twenty eight, and the

49
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,120
Bible reads, and you shall observe this thing as an

50
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,840
ordinance for you and your sons, I would say for

51
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,919
your children forever. It will come to pass when you

52
00:03:11,439 --> 00:03:15,280
come to the land in which the Lord gave you,

53
00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:20,319
just as he promised, that you shall keep this service.

54
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,280
Why are we keeping this pissock service? Why are we

55
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,879
still observing the passover? That is that would be the

56
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,639
question for those folks at the time. Why are we

57
00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:35,960
doing this? Because people forget what great things God has

58
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,840
done for us. Sometimes humans forget, We make it a

59
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:44,039
forg a bygone era. Wow, look at what God did

60
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,479
for them, And then our lives start to reflect that

61
00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:51,159
in our minds it's not that important today. We minimize

62
00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:54,439
and then and then yeah, the power is minimized in

63
00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:57,039
our lives because we didn't do exactly what God said.

64
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,240
Right here He said now and it shall be when

65
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:04,520
your children shall say unto you. What do you mean

66
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,520
by this service that you will say, so now we're

67
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:11,000
passing on the legacy to our children and their children,

68
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,479
on and on and on throughout the generations. It is

69
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,399
the Lord's passover. It is the Lord's passover who passed

70
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,560
over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt

71
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:28,120
when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households. May

72
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,720
I just say this, there are some people who are

73
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:34,519
still looking out for lightning bolts to come down from heaven.

74
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,040
They are still thinking that they are at the mercy

75
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,279
of an angry God, God forbid. There are some people

76
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:47,480
who still have that judgmental mindset for themselves. Every one

77
00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:49,519
of us is born with it. I wish I had

78
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:53,240
the time to deal with positive intelligence. But the reality

79
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:55,879
is we need to shut that judge up in our

80
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,839
brains because the judge is not God. In our brains,

81
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:05,240
that judgmental self that sees only that evil, only the

82
00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:08,800
things that are wrong, only the way that you have failed,

83
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:12,040
and no way out without hope, without the blood of

84
00:05:12,079 --> 00:05:14,839
the Lamb. That needs to be shut up. How do

85
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,560
we do it? We look back. We look back at

86
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,920
the time that God delivered his people, despite the fact

87
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:25,480
that they had been so these guys were annoying. I

88
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,360
don't understand the patience of God. They were so annoying.

89
00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:31,160
They murmured about everything. If it was sunny, it was

90
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:33,480
a murmur. If it was cloudy, it was a murmur.

91
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,680
If they were eating and they murmured. If they were hungry,

92
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,480
they murmured. If they were walking or standing still, they

93
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,519
murmured it. You literally could not please these people, but

94
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,319
God passed over them by virtue of their faith in

95
00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:50,000
God through the blood of the Lamb. You should be

96
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000
seeing yourself here now. So the people bowed their heads,

97
00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:57,079
and what did they do? They worshiped. Then the children

98
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:01,439
of Israel went away and did so, just as the

99
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:10,560
Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. So they did they worshiped. Really,

100
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,199
if we could just stop right here, we would be

101
00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:17,480
at the right place. If anything we say or talk

102
00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:22,920
about on these broadcasts cause you to worship God, then

103
00:06:22,959 --> 00:06:27,120
we will have accomplished the task. Because a worshipful person

104
00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:31,319
is fully connected to God. A worshipful person is always

105
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,040
looking for an opportunity to help those who have needs

106
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,759
and to bring other people into a right relationship with

107
00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:43,199
God and So I'm grateful that we have the privilege

108
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,800
of passing the torch. One generation shall command your works

109
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,319
to another, and shall declare your mighty acts, the Bible

110
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,839
says in the Book of Psalms, chapter one hundred and

111
00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:58,480
forty five and verse four. So we want to pass

112
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,000
the torch to the next. So let's get three lessons

113
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,879
out of this first beginning in Exodus chapter twelve, Versus

114
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,639
twenty six and twenty seven, and the Bible reads, and

115
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,000
it shall come to pass when your children shall say

116
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,800
unto you. I know I'm repeating it, but we have

117
00:07:14,839 --> 00:07:17,600
to knock it in to a place in our brains.

118
00:07:17,639 --> 00:07:21,000
Now what mean ye by this service? Then ye shall

119
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:24,920
say the sacrifice is the passover of the Lord. So

120
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,480
what we need to do is schedule intentional moments. Intentional

121
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,079
moments meals. Our family eats meals together every day. It's

122
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,839
either Simone and I eating together or Simone, Josiah and

123
00:07:37,879 --> 00:07:43,000
I eating together. But we're together. Devotions car rides we

124
00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:46,439
actually worship on the way too. If it's during the

125
00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:49,519
school season, then the three of us are in the

126
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:53,519
vehicle worshiping on the way to school and to the gym.

127
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,759
Car rides to share personal testimonies of God's faithfulness with

128
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:03,319
your children or loved ones. So faith must be remembered

129
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:09,519
through intentional storytelling. That's right Number two, coming in from

130
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,879
again the same passage Psalm chapter one, forty five and

131
00:08:14,959 --> 00:08:20,000
verse four. One generation shall praise Thy works to another

132
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:25,600
and shall declare Thy mighty acts. So what we want

133
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:30,120
to do is write a short faith story from our

134
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,039
own lives this week. I'm not saying to put it

135
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,679
in a book. I'm saying for your own purposes and

136
00:08:36,759 --> 00:08:40,879
to share with your posterity. Write it in a like

137
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:43,600
I have a little tablet right here, boom. You can

138
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:45,159
write it like that. You can write it on a

139
00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:47,559
sheet of paper, type it in your phone, or whatever

140
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,919
you need to do to cause your brain to pick

141
00:08:51,039 --> 00:08:54,679
up on the details of what God has done for you,

142
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,679
and then tell it to a younger person as a

143
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,919
part of your legacy. And then we go in for

144
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,919
number three at Exodus chapter twelve and verse twenty seven.

145
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:10,039
And the people bowed the head and worshiped. And of course,

146
00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:15,960
worship is the response of both promise and instruction. Don't

147
00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:19,960
wait for the miracle to be completed. Worship in faith

148
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:23,440
as soon as God gives the direction, and let me

149
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,759
see if I can get anything from this child guidance

150
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,240
quote really quickly, page five twenty. In every family there

151
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,840
should be a fixed time for morning and evening worship.

152
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,840
How appropriate is it for the parents to gather their

153
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:38,759
children about them before the fast is broken, to thank

154
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,600
the heavenly Father for his protection during the night, and

155
00:09:42,759 --> 00:09:44,639
ask him for his help and guidance.

156
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,399
Speaker 1: And watch case for joining us today. Friends, peace always

157
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,840
remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by every

158
00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:53,919
word that comes from the mouth of God. This has

159
00:09:53,919 --> 00:09:57,360
been your daily portion with el David Harris. Make it

160
00:09:57,399 --> 00:09:58,039
a great day.

161
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,279
Speaker 2: Yeah,
