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
00:00:15,199 --> 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
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,119
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Friday, February six,

11
00:00:37,679 --> 00:00:41,880
twenty twenty six. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,600
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,439
where we give you God's word every single day and

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,359
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

15
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:57,119
study series uniting Heaven and Earth christ in Philippians and Colossians,

16
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:02,000
and our caption for today is is daily self surrender

17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,239
and Christian excellence. Let me just say, I know sometimes

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,000
I sound like AI. I'm not like I'm really me.

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,799
I'm really me. I'm a real life human, I'm actual intelligence.

20
00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:15,280
God fearfully and wonderfully made me just like He fearfully

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,480
and wonderfully made you. But sometimes I'm trying to pronounce stuff.

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,159
I've lived so many different places in a couple of

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,640
countries and my accent mixing me up. So yeah, when

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,239
it sounds like I'm AI, it's really because I'm trying

25
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:29,560
to pronounce stuff because some of you are on the

26
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,359
radio and all you can do is hear me. You

27
00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:33,200
can't see me shaking my head, like what did I

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,640
just say? I digress. I'd like to say welcome to

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,680
everyone joining us, especially those joining us for the very

30
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,480
first time. I'm asking you to go over to your

31
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:48,799
Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community, pick

33
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,560
the contribute button because we are now listener and viewer supported.

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,519
No longer can it be David Harris supported. The load

35
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,760
is just entirely too heavy to do on my own

36
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:08,639
and soul. Thank God, Thank God that many of you

37
00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:11,520
are responding and also listen. I need you to let

38
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,759
me know where you are in the world at your

39
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,879
Daily Portion dot com. This is one of the ways

40
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:20,280
we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let me say

41
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,039
something I've not said. I should have said it a

42
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,960
long time ago. Before we begin, there you know, Facebook

43
00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:30,159
is a place that we've grown tremendously over the years,

44
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,840
but they have this new thing, I think it was

45
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,560
like a year ago, where they delete. Basically, they delete

46
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,599
the videos, the live videos. They delete those after thirty days.

47
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,520
And I understand why they're doing it, but listen, I'm

48
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,280
focusing more attention these days in YouTube land because after

49
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:51,039
you have done what you are to do to share

50
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,400
with so many people, to have the videos just disappear

51
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:58,599
and those thousands of shares that go out just vanish

52
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,599
after thirty days, that is something that I just that's

53
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:05,360
untenable to me. So please please join the Facebook, I

54
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,719
mean part of me. Join the YouTube channel as well,

55
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,319
and do your sharing the majority of your sharing. Use

56
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,120
the share button on YouTube direct people there, and we

57
00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:19,800
know that the video, by God's grace will survive after

58
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,599
the thirty days. I said a lot, But let's pray. Father,

59
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,840
We thank you, thank you for this day that you've

60
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:31,599
made a preparation day. Please Father protect us today and

61
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,159
give us understanding and help us to be self sacrificing

62
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:40,360
in Jesus' name, AMN and a man again. So, as

63
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,039
per usual, I'm going into our actual life application guide

64
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:48,960
we're going to actually read from it today, and let's

65
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,800
go with a professional application for those who don't have it.

66
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:56,919
We go with four different applications of the lesson, and

67
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:02,400
this one is professional and we use a framework WIN,

68
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:07,719
an acronym WIN. What is important now in light of

69
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:12,360
the lesson for today, letting the light of the sun Christ,

70
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,199
the sun of righteousness, shine forth in your work through

71
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,600
good works. There are things that you do to be

72
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:22,319
helpful to your co workers. Ah, there are things that

73
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,879
you do to be helpful to the people you serve

74
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,759
that's beyond the call of duty, and even the people

75
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:34,079
who for whom you work. Yes, okay, So let that

76
00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:39,120
shine forth from your work, your good works, words of

77
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:42,000
truth and deeds of holiness. I remember when I was

78
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,199
in the psych field. I was I was twenty three.

79
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,959
I was in management at the time, and I remember,

80
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,199
maybe I shouldn't say it, but it was a long

81
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,639
time ago, right, yeah, twenty some years ago. But yeah,

82
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,639
I was required in air quotes to tell a lie

83
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,000
on a particular thing. I'll just call it a thing.

84
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,120
And as a new believer, I was like, hold up,

85
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,920
m hmm, I don't care what y'all do to me.

86
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:09,800
I'm not doing that. I'm not going to do that

87
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,759
because that wouldn't have been words of truth, that would

88
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,120
not have been a deed of holiness. Thank God, it

89
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,680
worked out and I did not lie. Ah, but it

90
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:20,759
was only by the grace of God. And so these

91
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,600
are the things that we bring into our workplace. We

92
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,040
have to be determined to live according to the light

93
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,399
of the sun of righteousness. Come what may internalize the

94
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,920
insight I the light of the sun of righteousness is

95
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:38,519
to shine forth in good works, words of truth and

96
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,920
deeds and holiness. In your work. You are called to

97
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,600
manifest God's glory by revealing what the grace of God

98
00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:50,160
has done for you, what God has done by his

99
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,639
grace for you. Your work is an opportunity. Uh oh, your

100
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,040
actual work is an opportunity to show what the Gospel

101
00:05:59,079 --> 00:06:02,000
can do for fallen human beings. I mean, I just

102
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,680
say it again, like when people see your work. You

103
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,120
can be a business owner. You can be a part

104
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,600
owner of a business. You can be an employee whatever

105
00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:12,040
it is. You can be someone who has a business

106
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:15,480
of selling on the street. You may sell clothing, you

107
00:06:15,519 --> 00:06:18,839
may sell things, you may sell food, you may sell water,

108
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,279
whatever it is that you're selling, produce, whatever it is.

109
00:06:22,879 --> 00:06:25,040
When people see your work, they need to see the

110
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,959
excellence of God in your work. Do I need to

111
00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:31,319
say it again, but I'll try one more time. Like,

112
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,439
when they see your work, they need this. They need

113
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:40,399
to see the excellence of God in your work. You

114
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,279
must give all and do all for Christ in your

115
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:50,759
professional life, refusing divided service. Let's go ahead with our

116
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:55,120
final on this point. The next best move wi N

117
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,360
We're going to win together. Identify one way you can

118
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:02,879
let the light of the sun of righteousness shine forth

119
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,199
in your work today or on the next day. I

120
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:08,240
don't know that you go back to work on Sunday

121
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:12,360
is it Monday? Huh? Words of truth or deeds of

122
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:18,360
holiness and commit to manifesting God's glory in that area.

123
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,240
I remember back in the day when I was in

124
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:23,319
higher ed. It was a simple thing. But we had

125
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,839
a copy machine. I don't know if they still have

126
00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:29,399
those in offices, but you know, copy machine, and so

127
00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:32,399
it's like, okay, do you put your own stuff in

128
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,519
that copy machine and runoff copies? That has nothing to

129
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,639
do with the company, the business or wherever you're working. Yeah,

130
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,720
if you're doing that then that is not what we're

131
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:43,560
talking about. That's not a deed of holiness. You have

132
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,720
to be committed. Don't steal the pens, those are not yours.

133
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,720
Don't run off copies if they still have copy machines,

134
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,759
those are not yours. Don't use the time when you're

135
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,160
supposed to be working. You're on the clock. They're paying

136
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,519
you for the time for you to do your own business,

137
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,959
or take extended lunch periods three in four hours to

138
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,240
schmooz with people, hang out, collect a check anyway, like,

139
00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:08,399
don't do that. Yeah, look for the opportunity, Look for

140
00:08:08,439 --> 00:08:12,560
the opportunity to let the light of Christ shine through you.

141
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,560
Let me give you just one biblical lesson straight out

142
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,560
of the Bible today, and I will call it lesson

143
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,800
number three of the three that I have in my notes.

144
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,800
And as God works in us, we demonstrate to the

145
00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:33,120
world what His grace can accomplish in transformed lives. Where

146
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:35,759
do we get this from Philippians two and verse thirteen.

147
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,799
For it is God. You see this, You see the

148
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,440
perspective the priority. For it is God which worketh in you,

149
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:48,600
both to will and to do of His good pleasure. Okay,

150
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:53,279
for the one bringing forth in you both the desire

151
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,120
and the effort is God. We cooperate with God, but

152
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,600
you know he's the impetus. He's the one that drives it. Yes,

153
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,639
and that word, that word actually that that working means

154
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,360
to energize, to be at work from within God as

155
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:16,039
the active power shaping you, shaping me as believers. The

156
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,639
action step is to identify one area where God is

157
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,799
currently nudging you to grow. He may be pushing you.

158
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,080
Maybe he's not nudging you, may be dragging you like

159
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,679
the Angel dragged lot inous peoples out of Sodom I

160
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,399
don't know, to grow and take a concrete step today

161
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,360
to cooperate with His work. All right, y'all, if the

162
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,600
Lord spare's life, we will see you this evening for

163
00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:44,519
our musical Bible class and uh yeah, peace. Make it

164
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:45,000
a great day.

165
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

166
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

167
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

168
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with l David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
