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 --> 00:00:33,119
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:39,079
Speaker 2: Good afternoon and happy lunchtime. It is Monday, September fifteen,

11
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,320
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:46,399
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion.

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,079
It's the Life Application Lunch and Learn. If you want

14
00:00:50,119 --> 00:00:54,200
to say yes, yes, yes, And we are continuing in

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,320
our lesson study through the Book of Exodus, and our

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,719
caption for today is that I may oh you. And

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,120
for our regular viewers and listeners, I just want to

18
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:09,120
give you an understanding of what this is. We have

19
00:01:09,239 --> 00:01:12,000
the Life Application Guide. You can go to your Daily

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,079
Portion dot com and pick that up, but we seldom

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,959
have an opportunity to even read it in the mornings

22
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,280
when we're studying our lesson together, and so this is

23
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,000
an opportunity for you to hear it and you become

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,680
acquainted with it and apply the truth that we talk

25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:34,000
about every single morning. One caveat though we don't broadcast

26
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:38,439
this lunchtime edition on Sabbath's Okay, So we're here Sunday

27
00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:41,400
to Friday, and of course seven days a week in

28
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:44,840
the morning for our actual study. Okay. So hopefully that

29
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,239
makes sense to you, and we'll do this until we

30
00:01:48,359 --> 00:01:53,000
are clear whether it is finally getting traction or we

31
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:55,319
need to just say no, no, no, no, We'll only

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,640
deal with the morning time, okay. So pick up your

33
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,319
pick up your Life Application guide at your Daily Portion

34
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,120
dot com. Let's go ahead and pray, Father, thank you

35
00:02:04,319 --> 00:02:08,800
for giving us this afternoon time that we can reflect

36
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:14,199
and apply. In Jesus' name, I pray Amen and Amen again,

37
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,960
and so I'm not going to reteach the lesson. We

38
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:20,879
did that this morning, but just remember the context is

39
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:26,840
that Moses wanted to make sure that he knew God

40
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,000
and that God knew him, and that was Jesus's prayer.

41
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,520
He said, this is life eternal, that they may know

42
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,360
thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou

43
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,240
hast sent. Okay, so we are applying it based on

44
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:45,199
what we studied this morning spiritual application, and we're using

45
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,000
the whin acronym again every single day. That's what we're

46
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,919
doing and for spiritual application. What's important now, Growth with

47
00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:59,639
God always includes a deeper hunger to know Him personally.

48
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,879
Think we need to drill that that's the reality, internalize

49
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,479
the insight. Moses had already seen God's power, but he

50
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:15,240
still asked, show me your way that I may know you.

51
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:20,080
Knowing God is not just collecting facts. That's something that

52
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,840
we're accustomed to, which is why we have the life

53
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:26,680
application God, because you know, we're good at the people

54
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,759
who are believers are good at collecting facts and using

55
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,280
inspirational things and information. But what we need is the

56
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:38,240
same thing that Moses was looking for. It is entering

57
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,759
into a deeper fellowship that is a two way relationship.

58
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,120
The more you encounter God, the more you realize how

59
00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:51,199
much more of Him there is to know. Aren't you

60
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,719
glad that God is limitless? Aren't you glad that there

61
00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:58,039
is so much more to know and love? Aren't you

62
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,680
glad that God does not have in terms of his

63
00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:04,879
ability to transform you. Let me not preach it. Let's

64
00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:09,199
go to the next best move today. Do not only

65
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,159
ask for things in prayer. God wants us to ask.

66
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:16,439
He wants us to ask. In fact, I remember a quote.

67
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,120
I think it's from Steps to Christ's Book, page forty nine.

68
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,680
I can't remember for sure, but it says God, it

69
00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:25,399
is the will of God to grant an answer to

70
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,199
the prayer of faith that which He would not bestow.

71
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:33,720
Did we not thus ask? So God wants us to ask? Okay,

72
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,399
but we want to ask God to show more of

73
00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:43,720
his character. Seek to know his heart and not only

74
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,360
his hand. Isn't there a song that says that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

75
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:50,439
So we're going on now to personal application. Go ahead

76
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,079
and type in the chat which one of these applications

77
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,319
will you focus on? Is it going to be spiritual,

78
00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:00,319
personal relationships or professional? Okay, so we're going to personal. Now.

79
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,600
What is important now? You grow spiritually when you seek

80
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:08,560
to know who God is and not only what he

81
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:16,439
can do. Internalize the insight. Moses's experience teaches that spiritual

82
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:22,360
maturity is not measured by how long you've walked with God.

83
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,279
You know some of the old church people used to say,

84
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,639
I've been in the way how many years?

85
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: Right?

86
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: And that was supposed to be a way that we

87
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,279
would congratulate one another. Well, okay, not just measured that way,

88
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:39,319
but how much you long for Him every day? How

89
00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:42,560
much more do you long for God every single day?

90
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,759
Not just talking about you got baptized fifty years ago,

91
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,000
and I think most of the people who are watching,

92
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:52,240
most of you who are watching, about seventy four percent

93
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,839
of those who are watching me in the morning time

94
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,600
and listening on the radio probably got baptized about sixty

95
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,319
years ago. How long have you been in the way?

96
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:05,839
That's wonderful, But how much more do you long for him?

97
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:09,319
I'm talking about today? And then, of course, the next

98
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,519
best move set aside personal time to ask God one

99
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,480
simple question. I think you can guess it. Show me

100
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,240
your glory God. Please let that prayer become part of

101
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,920
your personal devotional time. Now we're going to the relationship's application.

102
00:06:27,079 --> 00:06:31,519
What is important now? Your hunger for God will influence

103
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:36,360
how you serve others. M hmm. Some of those posts

104
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:38,839
that people do on social media, Yeah, if we had

105
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,800
a hunger and a thirst after righteousness, some of those

106
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,800
posts we would never even put out. We just never would.

107
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:47,560
Those are arguments and retorts we would never put out

108
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,279
if we had a hungering and a thirsting after God.

109
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,879
So this will show how we're an influence, really, how

110
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:59,720
we serve others. I internalize the insight. The closer moses

111
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:03,519
God to God, the better he could lead, intercede, and

112
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:09,480
serve Israel. Your deepening relationship with God equips you to

113
00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:14,120
handle the people you are called to lead and to love.

114
00:07:14,839 --> 00:07:18,879
I have a couple of leadership positions right currently, and

115
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,439
I'm asking God on a regular basis, please will you

116
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,680
show me how to do it like you did when

117
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,759
Solomon said, God, these are your people? How am I

118
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,720
going to lead this your people? Give me wisdom? And

119
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:35,360
I ask God actually on a daily basis, Lord, give

120
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:40,480
me double the wisdom that you gave to Solomon. Okay,

121
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,759
And then, of course, the next best move pray specifically

122
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,800
for God to shape your heart so you reflect him

123
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:54,720
more clearly. Oh, in your family, those are the people

124
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,600
that are your first ministry, your family, your friendships, and

125
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,000
of course your leaderships. Finally, finally, did you type in

126
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,680
the chat which one of these applications you're going to

127
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,959
focus on today and now comes the professional application. What

128
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:15,759
is important now, Effective leadership flows from intimacy with God.

129
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,000
Intimacy with God, we're talking about a nearness with God. Ah,

130
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,279
there is a place of quiet rest near to the

131
00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:27,839
heart of God, a place where sins cannot molest, near

132
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,360
to the heart of God. Oh, Jesus, Blessed Redeemer. Aha,

133
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:35,120
see you what I'm saying, sent from the heart of God. Oh,

134
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:39,600
give us those who wait before you closer, Get us

135
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,639
closer God to your own heart. Okay, And so we

136
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:48,080
internalize the insight. Moses's desire to know God was not

137
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:54,080
only personal, it directly affected how he led. So yes,

138
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,840
we apply this personally, but if we're having interactions at

139
00:08:57,879 --> 00:09:02,440
work or in our businesses, or in even education, this

140
00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:04,480
is what we need to do. Like, how is this

141
00:09:04,639 --> 00:09:10,519
affecting the connection with the people and how I actually

142
00:09:10,639 --> 00:09:14,039
lead the people. There are four leadership styles. I wish

143
00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:17,840
I had the time to deal with those. Your professional clarity,

144
00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:23,159
your patience, and wisdom come from knowing God to your core.

145
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,480
And then the next best move before making major decisions,

146
00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:29,960
pause to pray, Lord, teach me your ways so I

147
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:36,279
may lead according to your heart. Again again. Choose one

148
00:09:36,279 --> 00:09:39,120
of the ways today to apply the study that we

149
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:42,080
do in the morning. And yeah, we'll see you again

150
00:09:42,159 --> 00:09:44,840
two times tomorrow if the Lord spars life peace.

151
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

152
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

153
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

154
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
