Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, dear morning. It is Friday, April eleven,
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
where we give you God's word every single day, and
today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson
study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our caption
for today is just one word anchored. Anchored. We'll get
into that in just a moment, but first I'd like
to say welcome to you and ask you to go
over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our
online community. You'll see a big red button, a red
button that has a seven on it. Click that as
well to be transformed, be transformed on a daily basis,
and also pick up the Your Daily Portion companion guide
for this quarter's lesson and let us know where you
are in the world at your Daily Portion dot com.
This is one of the ways that we continue to
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and
then we will get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you
for giving us this new day and for giving us
this time of preparation. Please anchor our faith in you.
Please help us to do that. In Jesus' name, I pray,
Amen and Amen again. Anchored, anchored. I'm going to begin
by reading from the book the Acts of the Apostles,
page five hundred and eighty, and we'll get right under way.
And this is where where Ellen White states that one
of the reasons the Book of Revelation was written, just
one of the reasons was to anchor God's people in
its historic message for all time. Okay, to anchor God's
people in its historic message for all time. You know,
sometimes people lose focus. Jesus actually said that the Church
of Ephesus had lost her first love. So we need
to be anchored, anchored in the Lord. Okay, And so
the quote is some of the younger workers at that
time talking about people who were actually working as employees
of the organization of God's People. Yes, had become very weary.
Excuse me of off repeated truths. See some of you
get tired. This is applicable to all people who say
that we are God's people. Even the Bible says, don't
become weary in well doing. Or if you are a
person who believes the truth for these days, for this day,
you may be getting weary of teaching the truth. You
may be getting weary of teaching that Jesus Christ is
the one who gave his life for us, that he
is the one mediator between God and man. He's the man,
Jesus Christ. You may be tired of saying that, but
don't be weary and well doing, brothers and sisters. May
be you may be tired of teaching the truth that
God has given us in the sanctuary a picture and
image of salvation right all the way through to God
expunging the record of his people, if we are covered
by Him. You may be tired of talking about the
sanctuary above. You may be tired of that. You may
be tired of teaching that the seventh day is the
Sabbath of the Lord thy God, and in it thou
shalt not do any work thou nor thy son, nor
thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle,
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. You may
be tired of saying that the Sabbath is a sign Ah,
that he is the one who sanctifies his people. You
may be tired. You may be tired of saying Jesus
literally is coming soon. You may be a scoffer now.
You may be saying things like, well, the things that
we see going on on earth, we've been seeing it
since the fathers fell asleep. You may be tired. But
what we're reading here is that some of the younger
or immature I'm adding immature people of God may be
weary of these truths. You may be tired that we
have the entire armor of God that we can go
with every single day seven implements of war. May be
you may be tired because you've been buffeted and beaten
up in your day, and the trials and tribune relations
and temptations have overwhelmed you. You may be tired, Ah,
But it does say here, in their desire for something
novel and startling, they attempt to introduce new phases of
Bible doctrine. Can I just say that's the end of
the quote. By the way, don't do that, like, don't
do that. I just want to be very clear. Don't
make up stuff. Because you're tired of saying the same
thing over and over again. Are you tired of saying
to your spouse, I love you? You want a new spouse,
You want somebody else to come into your marriage, God forbid,
because you're tired of looking at the one woman that
you married, gentlemen, the one man that you married. Sisters, like,
are you tired of saying I love you to your
own children? So you go and involve yourself in other
people's house and disturb that and take away their children.
You see how ridiculous this is? Ah boy, I wish
I had the time, But let me just say here.
We need to be anchored in the truth, anchored in
God's word before I get too far afield. And so
we want to look at this foundation, the word foundation
in Isaiah chapter fourty and verse eight. We're just looking
at the concept that we can see clearly in Bible
prophecy is a symbolic Bible prophecy Daniel and revelation, in
particular the grass withrith and the flower fadeth. But the word,
somebody type in the chat, the word, the word of
our work God shall stand how long forever? Okay? And
so the truth is the truth is that the truth
doesn't change. I said. The truth is that the truth
doesn't change. And his message, God's message through his word
is consistent. Don't become weary because of His word. Faith
is anchored in Christ, and those who have that faith
will be saved. And of course history matters. What God
has said in the past matters. We have no fear
for the future, except we forget history. What God has done,
how He has brought us in the past. And God
wants us to internalize his truth. And in Psalm the
Bible Book of Psalms, chapter one hundred and nineteen and
verse eleven, the Bible reads, Thy Word, have I hid
in my heart that I might not sin against thee.
So God wants us to internalize his truth, not just
observe it, not just hear it, not just see it,
not just identify that it does exist, but to hide
it in our hearts to embrace it fully internalize his truth.
Deep Bible study is needed. I know that my brother
quest is there with his pen and tablet, his pad.
He's there writing, He is there outlining and underlining and
learning from God's word, maybe even at this moment. And
that's what we need to do personally. We apply it
with the Holy Spirit's guidance, and then we of course
continue to grow in our understanding. And so the Bible
says that some steps that we should take in that
regard comes right from two Timothy, chapter two and verse fifteen.
Study to show thyself approved unto God. A workman, a
work person that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing
the word of truth. And that means that we need
to study God's word regularly. Yeah, there are times that
we have to study, not just read, but study. Reading
is fundamental. Yes, we do read. Hearing and reading God's
word is key, but we also need to study and
then share the truths that we are learning. I said
our learning, it's a continual reality. We are not necessarily experts,
but we continue, we continue to learn and then share
at the same time the principles that we are learning.
We don't just intellectualize this thing and put it in
our minds and be able to spout it like pardon
me I'm doing now, but actually live it, like when
you see me when I'm angry? Am I living it?
When you see me when I'm tired or hungry? Am
I living it when I'm frustrated? When things don't make sense?
Am I still living his word? And then, of course,
build others, build others. There are so many more things
that I could say, But don't become weary because of
God's truths, Anchor. Your faith in God be transformed by
his word, and the revelation will be given to you.
I said, the revelation will be given to you. Make
it a great day.
Speaker 1: Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we
cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
