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 --> 00:00:33,039
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,039
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Wednesday. It

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,200
is May twenty one, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,399

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,200
continuing in our lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy,

16
00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:59,560
and our caption for today is Psalm chapter five. I know, unimaginative,

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,079
but that's it's okay, Psalm chapter five. We'll get into

18
00:01:03,119 --> 00:01:04,760
that in just a moment, But first I'd like to

19
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:06,959

00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,680
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray. Father,

29
00:01:35,719 --> 00:01:38,000
we do thank you for giving us this new day

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,000
and for the blessing of your word. I pray that

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,920
we will live according to your word. In Jesus's name,

32
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,439
I pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay, So which part

33
00:01:50,519 --> 00:01:55,920
of Psalm chapter five do you love the most? Which

34
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:02,319
part of Psalm's chapter five do you love the most?

35
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:05,359
Let me go ahead and read the ones that I

36
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,400
love the most. Okay, So Psalm chapter five, beginning at

37
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:16,360
verse one, give ear to my words, O Lord, consider

38
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:22,280
my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my

39
00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:26,680
King and my God. For unto THEE will I pray

40
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,840
my voice shall thou hear in the morning, O Lord.

41
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,879
In the morning, I will direct my prayer unto THEE,

42
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,520
and will look up verse eleven. But let all those

43
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:45,000
that put their trust in THEE rejoice. Let them ever

44
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:51,199
shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also

45
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,759
that love Thy name be joyful in THEE. I love

46
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,840
this in the words of my sister Mignon, who says

47
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,400
it often God loves us enough to listen to us.

48
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,199
When she opens prayers when we're doing coaching calls together.

49
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:12,879
She says, I'd love the fact that God, thank you.

50
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,080
She says, thank you for loving us enough to listen

51
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,240
to us. That's exactly what she says, thank you for

52
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:21,000
loving us enough to listen to us. And I'm thinking

53
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,000
that's a big deal, because to hear and to do

54
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:27,319
in the way that God taught his people back in

55
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:31,800
those days, we're the same. So if he's listening to us,

56
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:36,560
then that means he is acting on our behalf. He's

57
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,919
acting on our behalf. And so in the Bible Book

58
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:42,960
of Psalms, chapter five, we see that there is a

59
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,919
correlation to many things in Revelation chapter fourteen, verses one

60
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,840
through twelve, and so I will draw some of them.

61
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,479
Some of those correlations here. The first one is David's

62
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,000
clear contrast between the righteous and the wicked. He does

63
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:02,080
not put them together. If you remember in Isaiah chapter five,

64
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:06,159
the Bible says, woe unto those who call evil good

65
00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:10,840
and good evil. Well, David does not do that. In fact,

66
00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:14,360
in verses four and five, the Bible reads, for thou

67
00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:18,480
art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness. The

68
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:24,040
foolish shall not stand in thy sight Verses seven and eight.

69
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,519
But as for me, I will come into thy house,

70
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,959
Lead me, o Lord, into thy righteousness. In fact, in

71
00:04:33,519 --> 00:04:37,680
Revelation chapter fourteen, verses nine, three eleven, it says warn.

72
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,680
It warns of those who follow the beast, they will

73
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,439
receive the wrath. It describes in verses one through five

74
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,839
the redeemed who follow the Lamb in purity and truth.

75
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,879
So David shows that God has no tolerance for evil.

76
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,079
He welcomes the humble who seek his presence. So how

77
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:05,759
do I apply this? Well, Being a part of God's people,

78
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:10,399
especially in the last days, means choosing moral clarity. We're

79
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:13,160
not trying to get it all figured out. The reality

80
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,839
is His word is clear. We don't have to try

81
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,279
to figure out is this evil for me? Is that

82
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,680
righteous for her? No? No, no, no. God has given

83
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,399
us in his holy ten commandments law, the standard Jesus Christ.

84
00:05:26,519 --> 00:05:28,480
In case we didn't get the memo when we were

85
00:05:28,519 --> 00:05:32,519
reading in Deuteronomy five and in Exodus chapter twenty, if

86
00:05:32,519 --> 00:05:35,120
we did not get the memo in the New Covenant,

87
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,800
in the Book of Jeremiah chapter thirty one, if we

88
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:41,399
didn't get the memo all throughout Old Testament history, Jesus

89
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,439
Christ became the best example and case study for what

90
00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:51,720
the law of the Lord being perfect lives. Like the

91
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,720
Psalmas said, the law the Lord is perfect converting the soul.

92
00:05:54,879 --> 00:05:58,439
We get to see this in real, living color in

93
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,360
the life of Jesus Christ. A part of God's people,

94
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:06,240
especially in the last days, means moral clarity. Ah, we

95
00:06:06,519 --> 00:06:10,759
can't live in two different camps in the river on

96
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,160
the bank. No. In fact, people in the Old Testament,

97
00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:19,199
the prophets how long haltsy between two opinions. Elijah said, Ah,

98
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,639
if God be God, then serve him. I think it

99
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,759
was Joshua that says, as for me and my house,

100
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:27,519
we will serve the Lord. Choose you this day whom

101
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,759
you will serve, but my house, Me and my house,

102
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,519
we're gonna serve the Lord. Number two, the righteous seek

103
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,120
God's presence and walk in his ways. I read it already,

104
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,399
but I'll read it again. In Psalm chapter five and

105
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:45,600
verse three, my voice shalt thou hear in the morning,

106
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,199
I will look up verse eight. Lead me, o, Lord

107
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,160
in thy righteousness. In Revelation fourteen, verse four, the Bible reads,

108
00:06:54,199 --> 00:06:56,920
these are they which follow the Lamb, whethersoever he go.

109
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,920
With verse twelve, here is the patience of the saints

110
00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:05,120
that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

111
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:10,120
So David opens up with an intentional prayer and dependence

112
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,560
upon God's guidance. We see that the people of God

113
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,199
who are following the Lamb have to be intentional. You

114
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,040
can't accidentally follow the Lamb wherever he goes. Because Jesus

115
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,600
Christ sometimes, as he leads us through to the paths

116
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,199
of righteousness, there are bumps in the road. There are

117
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:30,879
difficulties that we will encounter. We will be falsely accused, maligned,

118
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,360
and abused. Yes, he said, in fact, when you are

119
00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:39,360
lied upon, especially for doing right, he said, rejoice and

120
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:42,240
be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in Heaven,

121
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:46,720
for so persecuted day the prophets which were before you. Okay,

122
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:49,800
and so we see that the patience of the people

123
00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:53,600
of God in the last days is manifesting them actually

124
00:07:53,639 --> 00:07:57,879
doing what God said, not being confused and deceived like

125
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,959
Eve was at the tree of the knowledge of God

126
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,199
and evil, not being proud and big chested and bosy

127
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:08,920
like a like Adam was when he jumped into sin

128
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:11,800
when Eve gave him the fruit that God said, don't

129
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,959
eat you. See, they keep the commandments of God. And

130
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,680
guess what God instills in our bosom. The kind of

131
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,600
faith that gets us through in the last days, and

132
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:26,639
so our application thought is that the last day people

133
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:32,159
are not simply forgiven, but we're all so cleansed from

134
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,399
all unrighteousness. We are also faithful and obedient and dependent

135
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:41,200
upon God, just like David described. Let's see if we

136
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,519
can make it with this final final one number three.

137
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:50,120
God shields the righteous and judges the rebellious in verse

138
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,679
twelve of Psalm chapter five, for thou Lord wilt bless

139
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:58,600
the righteous with favor, Thou wilt compass him as with

140
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,960
a shield. In Revelation chapter fourteen and verse one, the

141
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,360
Bible says that the one hundred and forty four thousand

142
00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:11,519
are sealed with sealed in their foreheads, protected, protected from

143
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,000
the trials that are going to come. I'm talking about

144
00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:17,720
those extreme ones. The wicked drink the wrath of God

145
00:09:17,759 --> 00:09:23,279
in verse ten. While the saints are preserved because we

146
00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:27,440
have chosen to follow him. We are obedient and faithful.

147
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,639
So the righteous are not exempt from trials. I cited

148
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,840
that a little bit earlier. But we are surrounded by

149
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:38,440
God's favor, surrounded by his protection, and ultimately we will

150
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,480
surround the throne of God and throw our crowns at

151
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,840
Jesus's feet because he's worthy. Peace.

152
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

153
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

154
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

155
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
