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 --> 00:00:15,039
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 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It is Monday. It's

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,320
February ten, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El

12
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:42,159
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,960

and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,240
Lesson study series God's Love and Justice, and our caption

16
00:00:54,359 --> 00:00:58,280
for today is there are many things we do not know.

17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,840
I want to say it again in a different way.

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:06,439
There are many things that we just don't know, like seriously, seriously,

19
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:09,879
and some of those things we're arguing about, can you imagine. Yeah.

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,519
Before we get into that, I'd like to just say welcome, Welcome,

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,000
Welcome to everyone joining us, especially those joining us for

22

one of the ways that we continue to build faith

31
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,560
and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we

32
00:01:50,599 --> 00:01:53,760
will get underway. Our Father and our God, we do

33
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:56,280
thank you for this new day and for giving us

34
00:01:56,319 --> 00:02:00,000
the privilege of coming into your presence. Please teach us

35
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:04,760
when we are in your presence to yield ourselves to you.

36
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,520
Teach us, Father, when we're in your presence, to listen

37
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,400
more than we speak. Help us to know your will

38
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:17,360
and then do it in Jesus name. I pray, Amen

39
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,400
and Amen again. So listen. I am I think unique

40
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:28,080
in some ways when I talk about job. Job. That

41
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,639
man that God said with his own words, his own mouth,

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,960
he said, have you considered my servant job? There is

43
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,919
none like him. When the devil was was trying to

44
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,240
flex his spiritual muscles. He was with all of the

45
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,680
bravado that he could muster. When God asked him in

46
00:02:48,719 --> 00:02:52,560
a meeting. When God asked him in a meeting, where

47
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,319
you where you're coming from? Where you're coming from? And

48
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,280
he's basically saying, as he said, I'm going, I'm coming

49
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,919
coming from going up and down and to and fro

50
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,439
in the earth. What he's trying to say is that

51
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,479
I'm going wherever I want to go. This is what

52
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,639
he's saying, like with base in his voice, like in

53
00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:16,360
his chest. He's going to God, wagging his head and

54
00:03:16,439 --> 00:03:21,879
pointing his diabolical finger in the face of God, saying,

55
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,080
because those humans that you have down there, that you

56
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:29,400
love so much are a big deal to you. I

57
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,680
just let you know I've defeated them. So I'm going

58
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,080
anywhere I want to go and doing anything I want

59
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,360
to do. And God is saying, I do understand that

60
00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:43,400
every one of them has sinned at least one time.

61
00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:48,400
I do understand. I'm very clear that Adam Adam jumped

62
00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:51,599
into sin. I'm very clear that Eve was deceived. I

63
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,159
understand you deceived her. That's true, But have you considered

64
00:03:56,199 --> 00:03:59,199
my servant Job. There's none like him in all the earth.

65
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:03,560
And the Bible says that he Job learned to turn

66
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,000
his back on sin. He learned to switch off the

67
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,240
proverbial pipe or faucet that was flooding his life with sin.

68
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:15,800
Like the rest of the humans, he decided that today

69
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:19,079
is the day that I choose to serve Jesus. I

70
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,399
choose to serve God with everything that I have, everything

71
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,639
that I am. Just like we understand what the New

72
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,959
Covenant does when God writes his laws in our hearts

73
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,319
and on our minds. And even still, even still, when

74
00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:41,040
God allowed the enemy to buffet Job. And it's an understatement,

75
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,639
I mean he dogged his heels. What a mess. Now,

76
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,319
the Bible teaches basically that Job kept his holiness. He

77
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,040
continued to walk with God. But in the meantime, though,

78
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:54,680
even though he continued to walk with God, even though

79
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,839
you cannot point at a point where he turned his

80
00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:01,279
back on God, even while he would struggling with the

81
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,720
discussion of like what is going on in my life?

82
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,240
Even while he was calling out and saying, I need

83
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,199
a daze man, I need somebody to speak to God

84
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:14,199
on my behalf, I need some help because I if

85
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,800
I could think of a sin that I committed and

86
00:05:16,959 --> 00:05:19,680
did not repent of, if I could think of a

87
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,319
sin that I committed and did not confess, then I

88
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,240
would go right now and confess what is going on

89
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,360
in my life. And he had so many questions. And

90
00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:34,199
these four knucklebucks, I call them foolish people are coming

91
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,480
into his life telling them all kind of sanctimonious stuff

92
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,319
that is rubbish full rubbish. Careful who you quote, by

93
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,319
the way, when you're quoting some of this poetic stuff

94
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:46,959
that you read in the scriptures, sometimes it's from its

95
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:51,079
ill advised people giving bad advice. And it sounds so good,

96
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,319
almost like some church board sometimes some committee meetings. It

97
00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:58,920
sounds so good on the surface. But I digress. So

98
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,240
what I'm saying is is that these individuals were not

99
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:04,920
of any help to job, and in fact, they needed

100
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,720
him to become a day's man for them, like he

101
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,399
needed to offer sacrifice for them. This is what God

102
00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:16,439
told them. But again I digress. But even with all

103
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,279
of his holiness hidden with God, he did ask some

104
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,439
questions that wait a minute, now you're a human, you

105
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,439
are covered in my righteousness but you're a human, so

106
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,399
be careful the stuff that you're talking about. And so

107
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:37,399
God checks him. God checks him. And what I'm going

108
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:41,839
to do is let faith comes by hearing audio Bible

109
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,040
read from chapter thirty eight of the Book of Job,

110
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,120
beginning verse one.

111
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: Job, chapter thirty eight. Then the Lord answered Job out

112
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,680
of the whirlwind, and said, who is this? That darkness?

113
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,079
Counseled by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins

114
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,279
like a man, for I will demand of thee and

115
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,319
answer thou me where wast thou when I laid the

116
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:15,399
foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding, who

117
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:18,720
hath laid the measures thereof? If thou knowest? Or who

118
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:24,199
hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereupfastened?

119
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,959
Or who laid the cornerstone thereof when the morning stars

120
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,360
sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

121
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:34,680
Or who shut up the sea with doors when it

122
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:37,759
break forth as if it had issued out of the womb.

123
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,160
When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick

124
00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:44,319
darkness a swaddling band for it, and break up for

125
00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:47,319
it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, and

126
00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:52,439
said hitherto shalt thou come, but no further. And here

127
00:07:52,879 --> 00:07:57,800
shall thy proud waves be stayed. Hast thou commanded the

128
00:07:57,839 --> 00:08:00,920
morning since thy days, and cause the day spring to

129
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,639
know his place, that it might take hold of the

130
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:04,480
ends of the earth.

131
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,759
Speaker 2: Wow. Can we just pause right here and say that

132
00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:12,399
God was giving Job, the Holy Man of God, a

133
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:18,319
lesson about Job's humanity and God's sovereignty. God has everything

134
00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:22,279
under control. And when we talk to God, we need

135
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:25,680
to be very clear who is the human and who

136
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:29,480
is the sovereign Almighty God. Bless it be his name.

137
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,120
And so what I need you to do, brothers and sisters,

138
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,320
and me too. And by the way, go into the

139
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:38,200
community at your daily portion dot com. And if I

140
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,519
don't remember, please ask me to post these responses. But

141
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,159
there are some things that we need to keep in mind.

142
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,639
Number One, when things are not going the way that

143
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,360
we anticipate in life, we need to maintain a regular

144
00:08:51,399 --> 00:08:55,279
prayer routine. I said routine, but it's prayer, it's connecting

145
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,159
with God. From first Thessalonians, chapter five, beginning of verse sixteen,

146
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,720
I wish I had the time to read, but I don't.

147
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,360
And then we want to study the scriptures from the

148
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:09,559
Bible Book of Psalm chapter one nineteen, verse one oh five,

149
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,879
keeping that in our in the forefront of our minds.

150
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,559
Number three, to seek fellowship and support among the believers

151
00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:22,000
of God, and then to engage in our personal worship

152
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,240
with God in Psalms chapter thirty four and verse one.

153
00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:31,320
And then of course we ask God how to serve others. See,

154
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,240
we need to be patient and practice according to the

155
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,919
holiness that God has put into our bosom. Like when

156
00:09:37,919 --> 00:09:40,559
there are things that we don't know, then we should

157
00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:45,039
yield more to the will of God and don't question him. Peace.

158
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening.

159
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: Friends.

160
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

161
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

162
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your daily portion with el David Harris, make

163
00:09:57,279 --> 00:09:59,919
it a great day.

164
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,279
Speaker 3: Yeah,
