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 --> 00:00:15,080
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 --> 00:00:35,799
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Friday. It

11
00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:40,320
is May twenty three and twenty twenty five. Hello, my

12
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:42,520
name is El David Harris. I am your host, and

13

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,840
word every single day, and today is no exception. We

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,719
are continuing in our lesson study series how to study

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,880
Bible prophecy, and our caption for today is God is Merciful.

17
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:03,039
I said, God, God is Merciful. We'll get into that

18
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:04,680
in just a moment, but first I'd like to say

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,599

This is one of the ways that we continue to

build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,599
then we will get underway. Father, We thank you. Thank

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,439
you for this time, this day of preparation that draws

28
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:37,959
us close to you. Thank you for giving us the

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,239
opportunity to pray and to do your will. Thank you

30
00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:44,920
for teaching us how to serve you. I'm asking you

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,560
to help us to experience your mercy to the degree

32
00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:53,159
that we will be merciful. You said, blessed are the merciful,

33
00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:59,040
for they shall obtain mercy in Jesus name. I pray, Amen.

34
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:00,519
Speaker 1: Men again.

35
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,319
Speaker 2: I almost sounded like a computer there, I heard myself. Anyway,

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,400
this is a beautiful day because God has shown us

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,280
mercy so many times, countless times, countless times. And let

38
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:14,240
me just say before I forget, I'll be at Camp Verlely.

39
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:15,919
I think I told you a few days ago. I'll

40
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,159
be at Camp Verly at the Lord Spear's Life tomorrow,

41
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,000
at the Communicator's Convention. It's not really a convention, but

42
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,599
it is there where people will be learning ways to

43
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,759
experience God. Through evangelism online and share it with other people.

44
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,680
So I'll be there sharing the lesson study. So yeah,

45
00:02:36,719 --> 00:02:39,960
I pardon me. That was an aside. But for those

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,680
who are coming, please please just say hello and I'll

47
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,199
be there. But I want you to think about what

48
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,639
the lesson writer has said here. The psalms of David

49
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:55,960
pass through the whole range of experience. This is critical,

50
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,000
the whole range of experience from the depths of conscious

51
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,280
guilt and self condemnation. Have you ever been have you

52
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,199
ever felt so guilty that you couldn't shake it? Have

53
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,360
you ever felt so guilty for your sins that you

54
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,159
condemned yourself? And even some people have wished that they

55
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:17,919
were no longer here. Just like Elijah, I've been there.

56
00:03:18,439 --> 00:03:22,080
I've been there to the loftiest faith, so we can

57
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,280
go up to the loftiest faith and the most exalted

58
00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:30,879
communing with God. His life record declares that sin can

59
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:36,400
bring only shame and woe, but that no, let me

60
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,479
say it again, I've misread that his life record declares

61
00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:43,919
that sin can only bring shame and woe, but that

62
00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:48,960
God's love and mercy can reach to the deepest depths.

63
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,719
That faith will lift up the repenting soul to share

64
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,000
the adoption of the sons of God. Of all the

65
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:04,520
assurances which his word contains, it is this one. It

66
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:09,639
is the strongest testimony to the faithfulness and justice and

67
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,319
covenant mercy of God. And so we have run the

68
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,639
gamut personally, of all of the emotions, all of the

69
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,000
thrill being forgiven, all of the shame of finding myself

70
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,639
breaking the promise that I have made to God. God,

71
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,920
if you get me out of this mess, then I

72
00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:31,720
will do X. I will not do why you see.

73
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,120
And so now we see that God is able to

74
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,439
deliver us no matter what we find ourselves in. There

75
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,839
will be trials, there will be tribulations, but He will

76
00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:48,160
get us through. Yeah. So what I'm going to do

77
00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:52,160
is share the personal application from our life application Guy

78
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,199
paid one hundred and forty eight, and we're going to

79
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,680
go to the personal application, I mean professional application, because

80
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,279
when you go to work, when you are executing your

81
00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:08,240
contracts or you're doing whatever you're doing online with your coworkers,

82
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:11,160
there are some things that have to make sense when

83
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:14,680
we're studying these words. It's not just something that's super

84
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,800
spiritual and supernatural and that we hold in our minds

85
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,480
and feel okay, I understand it. No, we have to

86
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:24,600
be able to live this, okay. And so using the

87
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:31,920
WIN framework or the acronym WIN first is what is important. Now.

88
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:38,839
Your work environment is not just a space for productivity. Yeah,

89
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,319
shout out to the people who are there to do

90
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,199
your work, like to bury your faces, bury your head,

91
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:47,000
get your or put your head down and get your

92
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,639
work done. That's true, that's what it's for. But it's

93
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,959
also a space for grace. I know, I know. I

94
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,720
used to work in an environment where my team mates

95
00:05:58,519 --> 00:06:00,480
sometimes would say I don't want to take the blame

96
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,240
for X, I don't want to take the blame for why.

97
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,160
And I'm like, ah, well, that's not really what I'm

98
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:08,000
here for. I don't really worry about that kind of

99
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,000
thing because I know that when I go to work,

100
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,439
I'm there to do what God has told me to

101
00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:17,199
do according to the blueprint that my work environment has

102
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,839
given and the spiritual power of the Holy Ghost. So

103
00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:24,959
I work for God as I am working for the

104
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:27,920
humans that are paying me. Okay. And so it's a

105
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:31,680
space for grace. You can reflect God's mercy on how

106
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:40,759
you handle here. It comes mistakes, stress, and people, mistakes, stress,

107
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,199
and people. Do you have any of those three things

108
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:45,519
at your job? Do you have people at your job

109
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,720
or as you work your contracts so you have to

110
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,879
deal with people? Huh? Do you have stress at your workplace?

111
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:58,000
Do you make mistakes or have you seen people make mistakes? Yeah?

112
00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:05,160
So God's mercy will teach us how to overcome the mistakes,

113
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,399
overcome the stress, and also live in a good way

114
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,839
with people, inasmuch as it is possible. So I internalize

115
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:20,079
the insight. David's journey reminds us that leadership is not

116
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:25,759
about perfection. It is about repentance and restoration. Somebody just

117
00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:29,000
got it. It's not about our own perfection. It's not

118
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,240
about our own perfection. God said that we should be

119
00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:37,360
perfect for the Lord, our God is perfect, or because

120
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,240
our Father is perfect. That means that his perfection is

121
00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:46,839
the impetus of our growth in Christ and repentance. That is,

122
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:50,759
to turn away from sin and to be restored. Of course,

123
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,519
we know that is to become more into His image

124
00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:56,800
till ultimately we are stuck that way and we get

125
00:07:56,839 --> 00:08:01,879
to live with God forever. How might owning your weaknesses

126
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,920
we're talking about at work create room for God's strength

127
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:12,399
in your her professional life. How might owning your weaknesses

128
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:18,879
create room for God's strength in your professional life? Well,

129
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:23,360
let's see next best move. If a colleague or team

130
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:32,600
member has made a mistake, respond with compassion. I said.

131
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,519
If one of your teammates or team member, a direct report,

132
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:43,799
your boss, a colleague has made a mistake, respond with compassion.

133
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,919
For example, you could say, we all mess up sometimes.

134
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,720
And I don't know what the language you would use,

135
00:08:49,759 --> 00:08:52,440
depending on the behavior style of the person who's hearing,

136
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,519
but we all mess up. Sometimes. What matters most is

137
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,759
how we move forward. Then you do something super special.

138
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,399
You offer yourself. You offer yourself not as a sacrifice,

139
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,759
but as someone who can help. I am here to help.

140
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,799
May I say it more quickly? We all mess up?

141
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,600
Sometimes what matters most is how we move forward. I'm

142
00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:25,919
here to help. And then sh be quiet and see

143
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,399
how your boss, your colleague, your team member, your teammate,

144
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:34,440
your direct report responds, and then under God, move accordingly.

145
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,519
I'm so thankful that God has given us so much

146
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,519
mercy that we can be merciful even in our professional lives.

147
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,320
Make it a great day, peace.

148
00:09:45,039 --> 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,
