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 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Sunday, March one,

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,560
twenty twenty six. Hello, my name is Elle David Harris.

12
00:00:40,679 --> 00:00:43,359
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,799 --> 00:00:46,719
where we give you God's Word every single day, and

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,880
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:56,399
study series uniting Heaven and Earth, Christ and Philippians and Colossians,

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,240
and our caption for today is the Wisdom and Knowledge

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,719
of God, the wisdom and Knowledge of God. Before we

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,760
get into that, I'd like to just say welcome to

19

26
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,239
I'd like to open up an opportunity if you want

27
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,359
to witness to people you love who are likely going

28
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,079
to church today. At some point, I want you to

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,640
please share. Share our program that comes on at eight

30
00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:55,239
am on Sundays exclusively on the YouTube channel. It's not

31
00:01:55,319 --> 00:01:58,359
on the radio or on Facebook channels anywhere, not on

32
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,760
a podcast, only on our YouTube channel at your Daily Portion,

33
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:05,280
and that will help you to do what it is

34
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,920
that God wants us all to do to be able

35
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:11,759
to continue to enjoy fellowship and learn more and more

36
00:02:11,759 --> 00:02:14,479
about what God is teaching us in his words. So

37
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,360
please do that. Let's pray. Let's pray. Father, we do.

38
00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:20,479
Thank you for the privilege to open your word again.

39
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,960
Please help us to accept your wisdom and your knowledge

40
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:31,240
in Jesus' name. I pray, Amen and Amen again. I

41
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,919
don't know if I've ever shared it with you, but

42
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:39,000
I am obsessed by wisdom. God's wisdom. I'm saying not

43
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,960
because I want to feel intelligent, but there is just

44
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,240
something about it, because God sends people to me with

45
00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:49,919
various and sundry challenges, all kinds of challenges that are

46
00:02:50,199 --> 00:02:54,159
not even related. And I'm like, well, since God has

47
00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:59,120
seen fit to continue to send people to me like this,

48
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,960
then it mean that he wants to speak, and so

49
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,319
I can't do it on my own. God, show me

50
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:08,800
your wisdom. I need double. That's what I pray to

51
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,919
God for. Maybe that's not your testimony, but I pray

52
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,639
to God for double the wisdom that he gave to Solomon.

53
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,439
That's what I pray for. And so for me, this

54
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,039
is very very key. And so let me just read

55
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,680
now very quickly from reviewing Herald eighteen seventy four. Order

56
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:36,639
is Heaven's first law, and where God's truth is truly received,

57
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:45,240
it will always lead to harmony, stability, and strength. My God,

58
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,159
My God. From the book Testimonies for the Church, Volume five,

59
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:55,479
page five hundred and seventy four, we read the truths

60
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:02,000
of God's word are not independent atoms, but they are united,

61
00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:09,479
forming one grand whole or entire picture. I'm grateful because

62
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,639
we use the scriptures. We see in the scriptures a

63
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:17,279
golden thread, and we use scripture to interpret scripture. We

64
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,439
don't need somebody to write us a book about how

65
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,360
to interpret scriptures. We don't need somebody to give us

66
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,199
the code to a secret that's in the scriptures that

67
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,759
they can only you're there the only ones qualified to

68
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,920
give us. No. We use scripture to interpret the scriptures.

69
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:37,319
And so our first lesson for today is coming in

70
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,959
from Colossians chapter two and verse three. Colossians chapter two

71
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:47,040
and verse three, in whom speaking of God are hid

72
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:52,319
all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. You see what

73
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,000
the devil did to Eve at the tree of the

74
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,240
knowledge of good and evil. He insinuated doubt, and then

75
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,439
he just into believing that there was a tree desire

76
00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:06,079
to be to make one wise when God said, don't

77
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:09,399
eat from this tree. But she saw that it was

78
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:11,199
good for food, and it was a tree to be

79
00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:13,639
desired to make one wise. And it's like, why would

80
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:17,439
you see something that God forbade as a way to

81
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,279
receive wisdom. There are people right now who were going

82
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,279
to some dark arts in order to get wisdom, that

83
00:05:24,439 --> 00:05:27,680
going into some secret places with secret handshakes and all

84
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:31,399
kinds of weird stuff that you're like, what, why do

85
00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:35,079
I need that in order to learn wisdom like people

86
00:05:35,079 --> 00:05:37,480
who were going to people who look or were having

87
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,279
cards and crystal balls and all kinds of other stuff,

88
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:45,160
looking in your hands and looking into the sky for stuff,

89
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,319
rather than simply trusting what God said in him are

90
00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:53,800
hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge? And so

91
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:01,360
Paul answers Job's ancient question directly. Wisdom is not discovered

92
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:09,000
through philosophy, speculation, religious systems, or even going to wizards

93
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,199
that peep and mutter ought. Not a people seek unto

94
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,839
their God from the dead, unto the living. This is

95
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:19,519
what the Bible writer Isaiah said. And so wisdom is

96
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,120
a person. A wisdom is a person. Did you know that?

97
00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:27,319
In One Corinthians chapter one, verses thirty and thirty one,

98
00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:30,800
we see Jesus is our wisdom. If you study closely

99
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:33,600
the Book of Proverbs chapter eight, there comes a point

100
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,480
when wisdom is described in a way that you're like, oh,

101
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,079
my goodness, there is no other being that this could

102
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,680
apply to. When Christ is present, nothing essential is missing.

103
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,680
Every attempt to locate wisdom outside of Him results in

104
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:56,360
the opposite results in babylon or confusion results in deception

105
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,839
and so ask yourself today. This is the action step.

106
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:06,360
Ask yourself today, where you instinctively go for clarity, where

107
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,959
you're not even thinking about it. Where do you find

108
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000
yourself going? Is it chat gpt uh? Oh? Is it Gemini?

109
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,160
Is it Claude? Is it some other ai app Are

110
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,000
you going there for wisdom? Those are supposed to help us.

111
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,480
We're not supposed to just take what they do their

112
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,439
assistance to help us ID eight and do some other stuff.

113
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,319
I'm not trying to put rules on it. I'm just

114
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,680
saying sometimes we take what the machine gives us and

115
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,240
spit it right back out, and it's like, but God

116
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:38,439
gave us dominion, We're not supposed to have that as

117
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,120
if it's more intelligent than us. We have actual intelligence.

118
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,600
That thing can slow can help us with our speed

119
00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:48,920
because we're slower, but it can't be more intelligent than

120
00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:52,680
the human beings God created? And so where do you

121
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,480
instinctively go for clarity? Now? I want you to deliberately

122
00:07:57,959 --> 00:08:03,319
bring that question to Christ in scripture and prayer before

123
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:09,600
seeking any other source. You are befuddled, you're confused, you

124
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,759
need extra understanding. Don't go to your pastor first. No

125
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,240
disrespect like don't go to Bible teachers like me. First,

126
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,240
don't go to the your trusted whomever. First. I want

127
00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:24,680
you to bow your head and in humility say God,

128
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:27,759
I do not know how to deal with this. I

129
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,680
do not know what to do. Will you please please

130
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,039
deliver me? Will you please please give me wisdom that

131
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,879
can only come from you. Number two comes in from

132
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:45,120
Collossians chapter two and verse two. That their hearts may

133
00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:50,440
be encouraged having been knit together in love and attaining

134
00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:55,200
to all riches of the fullness of assurance and understanding.

135
00:08:55,759 --> 00:08:59,960
So God's truth produces unity and strength in his church.

136
00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:08,440
Mm hmm. Paul's goal is not merely to correct Bible

137
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:15,879
teaching our doctrine, but strengthen the hearts and to unite believers.

138
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,960
Truth does not divide faithful people. Truth anchors them together.

139
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:27,000
When Christ's centered teaching is received by all, then love

140
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:33,480
deepens and confidence grows. Yeah. So are you looking for

141
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,799
wisdom to separate yourself as some kind of icon or

142
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:40,879
sage or do you want the wisdom of God so

143
00:09:40,919 --> 00:09:43,720
that you can contribute to the entirety of His people?

144
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:44,960
Make it a great day.

145
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

146
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

147
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

148
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
