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 --> 00:00:33,079
Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning, it is Thursday. It's

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,600
March thirteen, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is Elle

12
00:00:39,679 --> 00:00:42,240
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,000
Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,520
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

15
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:54,079
Lesson study series, God's Love and Justice, and our caption

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:03,240
for today is the vindication of God's names, of God's Name.

17
00:01:03,679 --> 00:01:05,599
We'll get into that in just a moment, but first

18
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,239
I'd like to say welcome to you and ask you

continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray,

25
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:34,319
and then we will get underway. Father, we do thank

26
00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:37,359
you for giving us this new day. Thank you for

27
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:41,239
loving us. Thank you for making yourself so clear to

28
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:43,920
us that we would have to reject you, to miss

29
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:47,840
the message of love and of hope that you give us. Father,

30
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:53,040
Please help us to become now your ambassador, ambassadors in

31
00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:59,120
Jesus name, I pray, Amen and amen again the vindication

32
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:04,200
of God's name. Okay, So we're going to begin. We're

33
00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:10,199
going to begin by reading from the Bible Book of Romans, Romans,

34
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:16,080
chapter three, verses four, and well, I'll read the first

35
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,960
four verses, okay, Okay, So the Bible reads, therefore, what

36
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,159
advantage does the Jew have or what is the value

37
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,960
of circumcision? Of course, that we're jumping like headlong into

38
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,879
a conversation that's already happening, okay, And so let's just

39
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,400
use the term Jew in this case as the original

40
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:42,280
connected people of God in the context of their discussion, okay,

41
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:49,840
or what value the circumcision? Actually, there are many advantaged advantages.

42
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,080
First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles

43
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,960
of God. What then, if some did not believe? Does

44
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,479
their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God? Absolutely not. Let

45
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:10,159
God be proven true and every human being show up

46
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,120
as a liar, just as it is written, so that

47
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,120
you will be justified in your words and will prevail

48
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,479
when you are judged. I'll come back to that in

49
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,360
just a second. Let's read now from Isaiah chapter five,

50
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,199
verses three and four. Okay, And so the Bible reads,

51
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:33,280
So now, residents of Jerusalem, people of Judah, you decide

52
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:36,560
now between me and my vineyard, what more can I

53
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:40,159
do for you? Or what could I have done for

54
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:44,719
my vineyard beyond what I have already done. When I

55
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,719
waited for it to produce edible grapes, why did it

56
00:03:48,919 --> 00:03:53,319
produce sour grapes instead. We talked about that a little

57
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,879
bit the other day. So please scroll back two days

58
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,639
and get the fullness of that. And so here the

59
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:03,520
Bible is vindicating the character of God in a few ways.

60
00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:08,360
Number One, God actually invites examination of his actions. And

61
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:11,199
I don't want us to go too far like God

62
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:14,520
is holy, he's just, He's good. One hundred percent of

63
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,000
the time. But he is inviting us into the conversation

64
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,000
and saying, what more could I do to save my people? Okay?

65
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:30,120
Number two, Human failure does not nullify God's faithfulness. You see,

66
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,160
the thing about God is that he doesn't operate like

67
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,800
humans do. He is over and above all things, blessed

68
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,720
be his name, And so sometimes people make it seem

69
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:44,519
as if God is handcuffed, like he is not able

70
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,399
to accomplish his will. The fact is, though, that there

71
00:04:48,439 --> 00:04:52,240
are people that turn their backs on him. There are

72
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,439
people who have been called by his name, who have

73
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,560
decided that they don't want to live based on the

74
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,959
principles of his name. Talking about in twenty twenty five,

75
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,839
I'm talking about God forbid, I hope not some people

76
00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:09,199
that may be listening to me and watching. Okay, and

77
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:13,560
yesterday I gave a quick blueprint about how to turn

78
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:17,120
toward God in a way from our sinfulness. So if

79
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,399
that's you, then God is speaking to you. I'm not

80
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,560
taking it for granted. Like sometimes God is calling the

81
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,560
people right to a platform, to a radio program, to

82
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,720
a podcast, onto social media or YouTube or something and

83
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:35,120
saying I want you to hear this message because I'm

84
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,759
calling you. I'm calling you into right relationship with me.

85
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:45,279
And so even still, human failure does not nullify God's faithfulness.

86
00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:53,000
Number three, God's character stands true despite human unbelief. You

87
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,560
don't have to believe something for it to be true.

88
00:05:56,319 --> 00:05:59,399
God is faithful. You don't have to believe it. I

89
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,160
believe it. If you believe that God is faithful, go

90
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,319
ahead and type it in the chat. I believe it.

91
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,160
I know and believe that God is holy at one

92
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,839
hundred percent of the time. But just because some humans

93
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:15,879
don't believe that doesn't mean that it's not true. God's

94
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:23,040
character stands despite human unbelief. Number four. God will be

95
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:28,600
justified in his words and actions. You see in due season, Ah,

96
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:32,399
God is going to reveal all things. But in the meantime,

97
00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:35,920
we have the privilege of making decisions to serve him

98
00:06:35,959 --> 00:06:39,160
based on what He has already revealed. You see, we

99
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,800
have the privilege of seeing God so loving us that

100
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,199
he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in

101
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:49,040
him would not perish but have everlasting life. It is

102
00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:52,040
our privilege to believe him. It is our privilege to

103
00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:54,839
embrace the love that he has had for us in

104
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,439
that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly.

105
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,839
We can do this in the meantime, but in the end,

106
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,519
when people are still trying to put God on trial,

107
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,319
still trying to say why do good things happen to

108
00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:11,360
bad people? Why do bad things happen to good people?

109
00:07:11,839 --> 00:07:16,160
God is saying that his words will be justified, and

110
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,759
every being in the universe. Notice I did not just

111
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,279
say human beings, even the devil and his angels. Every

112
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:27,600
being in the universe will say just and true are

113
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,360
his ways at the appropriate time. Number five and final,

114
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:39,079
he will prevail. He will prevail. God will prevail. The

115
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:42,319
question is does he prevail in your life today? Does

116
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,079
He prevail in your life today? I'm thankful that God

117
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,439
is so good and you want to say, well, well,

118
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,199
how good is he? Dave? He is so good that

119
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:54,279
He is giving all of us an opportunity just about

120
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:59,560
eight minutes into our broadcast to be a manifestation of

121
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,319
His goodness. So people, when they see us, they see

122
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,079
that God is powerful enough to transform broken sinners into

123
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,079
holy saints. In Revelation chapter fifteen and verse three, the

124
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,560
Bible reads and they sing God's people in the end analysis,

125
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,480
they will sing the song of Moses, the Servant of God,

126
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,759
and the song of the Lamb, saying, what's the song,

127
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:30,639
Brother John. Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God, Almighty,

128
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:36,039
Just and true are thy ways, Thou King of Saints.

129
00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:39,720
I'm grateful. I'm grateful, and I want to read also

130
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:42,600
from Revelation chapter nineteen. Let me see how much I

131
00:08:42,639 --> 00:08:45,399
can get out before we come to a swift close,

132
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:48,320
beginning at verse one. And after these things, I heard

133
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,559
a great voice of much people in saying, ah Lulujah,

134
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:58,159
salvation and glory and honor and power unto the Lord,

135
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,200
our God. And for true and righteous are his judgments.

136
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,039
For he hath judged the great whore, that is, the

137
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,480
people who masqueraded as His people but are not, which

138
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:14,799
did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged

139
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,159
the blood of his servants at her hand. And they

140
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,919
say again Hallelujah, and the smoke of rose up forever

141
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,559
and ever. And then the Bible continues with more praise

142
00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:29,879
and more worship in the scene in verse six and final.

143
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,240
And I heard, as it were, the voice of a

144
00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:35,759
great multitude, as the voice of many waters, as the

145
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:41,039
voice of mighty thundering saying Hallelujah for the Lord God,

146
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,519
omnipotent reigneth God's character.

147
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: Will be Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember

148
00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:51,159
we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word

149
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,120
that comes from the mouth of God. This has been

150
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,480
your daily portion with El David Harris. Make it a

151
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:00,279
great day. Yeah,
