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
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It is Friday, February

11
00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:40,840
twenty one, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,439
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,039
Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,

14
00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:50,399
and today is no exception. We are continuing in our

15
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,799
lesson study series, God's Love and Justice. We are surrounding

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:02,359
our week under the caption God with Us, God with Us.

17
00:01:02,759 --> 00:01:04,799
Before we get into that, I'd like to say welcome

18
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:07,519
to everyone joining us, especially those joining us for the

19
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,920
very first time. I want you to go over to

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,239
your Daily Portion dot com. Please please join our online community.

21
00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:17,319
I want you to click the number seven at that

22
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:22,280
website and join and subscribe there behind that number seven,

23
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:25,680
and also pick up this book, this book, the Your

00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:29,879
Daily Portion Companion Guide for this quarter's lesson. And again

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,040
if we continue, if we're going to continue producing this

26
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:39,519
life application guide, then it needs to be extremely successful

27
00:01:39,719 --> 00:01:43,400
because I do not believe in wasting time or energy

28
00:01:43,719 --> 00:01:46,439
on something that people don't actually need. Okay, I know

29
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,640
a few of you out there, well a good number

30
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,000
of you out there are using the Companion Guide. But

31
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:54,719
let's just see if we will continue. It's all up

32
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:57,640
to you. Pick it up at your Daily Portion dot com.

33
00:01:57,719 --> 00:01:59,879
This is one of the ways that we continue to

34
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,480
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and

35
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:06,560
then we will get underway. Father, we do thank you

36
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,599
for giving us this new day and for the privilege

37
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,000
that you have given us to prepare, to prepare for

38
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:16,879
the Sabbath, prepare for the coming of our Lord and savior,

39
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,599
Jesus Christ. Please teach us your presence in Jesus name.

40
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,879
I pray, Amen and amen again. You see, God has

41
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:32,680
given us the privilege to be in his presence. God

42
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,400
has given us the privilege to be in His presence,

43
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,919
and I'm thankful because this really manifests itself in so

44
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
many different ways, one of which is when God is

45
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:53,560
saving us, Jesus gets down into what we experience in

46
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,919
order to elevate us. Can I say it another way?

47
00:02:57,439 --> 00:03:01,000
God is saving us, therefore he sent Gus to be

48
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:06,800
in our experience so he can elevate us. Okay, And

49
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,960
so let me just go ahead and begin reading from

50
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,400
from the book Desire of Ages, page twenty two to

51
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:16,039
get our discussion started. And then we will go into

52
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,000
our companion guide for a second. Okay, And so it

53
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:25,240
reads the plan of our redemption is not an afterthought.

54
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,800
May I just sit right there for a moment. When

55
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:31,280
Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden after

56
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,759
God told them, if you eat from the fruit of

57
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:41,439
this garden of this tree, you will surely die. If

58
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,280
God had the plan of salvation as an afterthought, then

59
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,639
they would have been neutralized immediately, extinguished immediately. But thankfully,

60
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,960
and it just wants you to say thank God with me, like,

61
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,080
thankfully God had a plan of salvation waiting in the

62
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:03,039
wings in the event that those humans chose to go

63
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:07,719
the wrong direction and so they got a stay of execution.

64
00:04:07,919 --> 00:04:10,240
Maybe that's not the best way of communicating it. But

65
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,360
that's what's coming to my mind right now. They received

66
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:16,800
a stay of execution. Let me keep reading. A plan

67
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,399
formulated after the fall of Atom. Okay, so the plan

68
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:26,560
of Redemption was not an afterthought, a plan formulated after

69
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,759
the fall of Atom. Now we know why that couldn't work.

70
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,759
It was a revelation of the mystery which have been

71
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,639
kept in silence through times eternal. It was an unfolding

72
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,759
of the principles that from eternal ages have been the

73
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:49,120
foundation of God's throne. From the beginning, God and Christ

74
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:54,560
knew of the apostasy of Satan. Notice what the inspired

75
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,680
writing says they knew of the apostasy of Satan. It

76
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,399
didn't say that they ordained. It didn't say that they created.

77
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:07,399
It said they knew of the apostasy of Satan and

78
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,920
of the fall of humankind through the deceptive power of

79
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:15,360
the apostate. God did not ordain that sin should exist,

80
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,879
but he foresaw its existence and made provision to meet

81
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,279
the terrible emergency. Can I just say this, please and thanks.

82
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,639
There is no sin that you can commit that God

83
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:37,560
has not foreseen and given the antidote for your ability

84
00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:41,600
to sin. My ability to sin does not exceed God's

85
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:45,000
ability to say. Now, this is not in any way

86
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,079
that I want to minimize sin. But I think the

87
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:52,680
Bible writer said, where sin abounds, grace doth much more abound.

88
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:56,160
And so all we need to do is yield our

89
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,360
will to God, and he will keep his promise to

90
00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:02,040
write his life in our hearts and on our minds,

91
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,279
so that we will live like Jesus lived. Let me

92
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,600
keep going, Let me keep going. God did not ordign

93
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,600
that sin should exist, but he foresaw its existence and

94
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:17,000
made provision to meet this terrible emergency. So great was

95
00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:21,120
his love for the world that he covenanted to give

96
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:26,759
his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should

97
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,360
not perish but have everlasting life. Aren't you glad that

98
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:34,279
God has a plan for your life before there was

99
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:36,920
a beginning. He had a plan for your life, before

100
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,240
you were in his mother, your mother's womb. He knew

101
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:43,079
you well. He knew that He would call you to

102
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:46,759
the nations to be what is it a prophet, a king,

103
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:47,360
a queen?

104
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: Like?

105
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: What is it like? What is it that God would

106
00:06:50,959 --> 00:06:54,279
have had you to do? And as you continue to

107
00:06:54,480 --> 00:07:00,560
live your life day after day, day after days, God,

108
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,279
what would you have me to do? Who would you

109
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,040
have me to be? I was speaking to a friend.

110
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,879
I'll just call my friend joy. The joy of the

111
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,519
Lord is our strength. You know. Some months ago and

112
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,040
we were talking about purpose and my friend and I,

113
00:07:22,519 --> 00:07:26,079
while we were talking about purpose, said, so are you

114
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:30,279
saying that I am in filling the blank place, filling

115
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:35,480
the blank position to just be? And then we talked

116
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,279
about the details of my friend and how my friend

117
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,519
is and I was like, yes, but we don't minimize

118
00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:49,160
when God creates us to be a certain way in

119
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:54,319
spaces that He entrusts us with, we don't minimize that reality.

120
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,480
We don't ever minimize the fact that if if you, brother,

121
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,600
you sister are there to bring joy, then you bring joy.

122
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,040
You're being joyful in the space because God put joy

123
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,360
in your heart. If you are to be there to

124
00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:17,439
provide structure, because that's who you are, You're a structural individual,

125
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,680
then be structural in the space that God has called

126
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,160
you to be. If you're there to be an encourager,

127
00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:28,120
a motivator, if you're there to be someone who undergirds

128
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,839
and supports others, listen, that is what God has called

129
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:34,919
you to do. For his glory. I could go down

130
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,840
through a list, and so when God is showing you

131
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,600
who you are, he's also making provision for you to

132
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,840
operate in that reality at the highest levels, and we

133
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,919
give God thanks as a result. So now we are

134
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:58,080
going into our our Companion guide of course for today's date,

135
00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:01,519
that is page one hundred and thirty one. Let's go

136
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,000
to the personal application and we'll just go to the

137
00:09:06,039 --> 00:09:09,879
next best Move part. Okay, when is the acronym we

138
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,320
use every single day. We apply in four key areas.

139
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,559
Today we'll talk about about personal application. Let's just do

140
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,440
the end in when Okay, next best move, write down

141
00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:27,960
a prayer of trust and surrender for that uncertain area.

142
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:29,879
Of course, you'll have to go to the W and

143
00:09:29,919 --> 00:09:33,000
the I to see what that means. Place it somewhere

144
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,399
visible as a reminder to trust God's eternal plan for

145
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,120
your life. You want purpose, trust the one who came

146
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,720
to be with us so he could train.

147
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,399
Speaker 1: You to be Thanks for joining us listening, friends, Always

148
00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:50,840
remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by every

149
00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:53,879
word that comes from the mouth of God. This has

150
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,360
been your daily portion with l David Harris. Make it

151
00:09:57,399 --> 00:10:00,279
a great day. Yeah,
