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
00:00:15,199 --> 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
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,119
author speaker Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, and happy lunchtime. It is Thursday, September twenty five,

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,840
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:45,119
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion,

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,479
the Lunchtime edition where we give you God's Word every

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,719
single day, and today is no exception. We are rounding

15
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:57,159
the corner one more day through our lesson study series

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,000
through the Book of Exodus, and our caption for time

17
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:07,959
today is Jesus tabernacled with humanity. Jesus tabernacled with humanity.

18
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,760
That means he dwelt with us. We'll get into that

19
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:12,359
in just a moment. The first I'd like to say

20
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,480
welcome to you and ask you to go over to

21
00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:17,079
your Daily Portion dot com please pick up the Your

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,920
Daily Portion Life Application Guide that's in fact what we're

23
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,799
talking about in the afternoon here, and also let us

24
00:01:24,879 --> 00:01:28,159
know where you are in the world at your Daily

25
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,439
Portion dot com. This is one of the ways that

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,480
we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead

27
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:39,120
and pray and get underway. Father, thank you for this afternoon,

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,760
Please teach us how to serve you and love you.

29
00:01:43,359 --> 00:01:48,280
In Jesus' name, I pray a man and a man again.

30
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,680
And for those of you who are regular listeners and

31
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,599
you're wondering, well, what's going on, we have one more

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,560
day to test this afternoon's version to see if it's

33
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:03,239
something that will be useful to a good number of you,

34
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,000
and we'll announce in the morning the direction that we're going.

35
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,439
But we're literally just going through the Life Application Guide.

36
00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:13,919
I'm reading it to you because some of you have

37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,120
picked it up and maybe you don't use it and

38
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,599
you don't know how to apply what we study in

39
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,240
the morning time. Okay, So we're using the wind acronym

40
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,080
or framework in four key areas, beginning with spiritual application

41
00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:32,919
W What is important now regarding Jesus tabernacling with humanity.

42
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,800
Jesus took on human flesh to dwell with us personally,

43
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,800
just as God once dwelt with his people in the tabernacles.

44
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,400
So you see how that goes. In the Old Testament,

45
00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:49,120
we saw the Tabernacle. We saw there were times, you know,

46
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,280
before Jesus took on human flesh, where like in Genesis

47
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,840
chapter eighteen, God reveals himself, we're going to say, in

48
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:02,759
the person of Christ with two angels to Abraham. And

49
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,599
there's a whole story there in Genesis chapter eighteen. So

50
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,199
we see in different cases, even in the Garden of

51
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:13,800
Eden where God visits his people in the cool of

52
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,240
the day, we see where God dwells with his people,

53
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,199
and throughout history and even in twenty twenty five, he

54
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,199
shows us how he wants to connect with us. The

55
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:30,439
Bible teaches us basically that prayer is a way that

56
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:33,520
we connect with God. We speak to God as to

57
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:36,240
a friend, and this is what He is showing us

58
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,439
through the sanctuary. I internalize the insight the incarnation, meaning

59
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:46,840
when Jesus took on human flesh is the ultimate expression

60
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:52,280
of God's desire to be near his people. Jesus's presence

61
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:57,159
among humanity assures us that God is not distant, but

62
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,680
intimately involved in our life lies. This truth offers profound

63
00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:08,240
comfort and motivation to live in those live in close

64
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:13,599
relationship with Him daily, knowing He is with us wherever

65
00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:17,199
we go. How does it make you feel knowing that

66
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,959
God is with you? Does it comfort you? Does it

67
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,879
cause you to be fearful? If it's fearful, then that

68
00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:27,040
means that God needs to perfect you in love. You

69
00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:29,800
can ask him, God, give me, give me perfection and

70
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,279
love like, teach me how not to be afraid, Teach

71
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,079
me to do you will, and He will give you

72
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,959
that peace and next best move. Reflect today on what

73
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,560
it means for Jesus to dwell with you. This is

74
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,519
spiritually speaking. Welcome his presence and listen for his voice

75
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,319
throughout the day. I'm talking about when you're scrolling, if

76
00:04:52,319 --> 00:04:55,120
you're scrolling through social media, if you're watching things on

77
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,279
the television or in some other entertainment, listening through entertainment,

78
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:04,600
having converse sations with people, Welcome him into that space

79
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,519
personal application. What is important now. God's promise is that

80
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:15,600
one day he will dwell with his people forever in

81
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:21,279
perfect harmony, I internalize the insight. The vision of the

82
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:27,240
New Jerusalem portrays a future where God's presence fills everything,

83
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,560
making a permanent home with his people. This promise encourages

84
00:05:31,639 --> 00:05:36,959
us to persevere, knowing that every struggle and hardship is

85
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:43,000
temporary compared to the eternal joy of dwelling with God.

86
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,240
So you're going to go through something today, Maybe you

87
00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:49,040
have gone through something already yesterday and days and weeks

88
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:53,040
and months before that's still dragging on into your life today,

89
00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:56,639
and you're wondering when can I get relief God. Well,

90
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,399
this teaching about God tabernacling with us is encouraging us

91
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,279
to persevere. And what is the next best move? Personally?

92
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,959
Write down one challenge you face and use the promise

93
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:15,800
of God's eternal presence to encourage yourself to endure and

94
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:18,759
keep the faith. Do not give up keep the faith.

95
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,839
Write down that challenge you're facing and the promise of

96
00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:25,800
God's eternal presence. Put those two together and encourage yourself

97
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,680
by faith to endure. Now we're into the relationship's application.

98
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:36,720
What is important now? Jesus is present whenever believers gather

99
00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:41,720
in his name, building community through his spirit. Did you

100
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:47,600
get that Jesus is present whenever believers gather in his name,

101
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:54,560
building community through his spirit. I internalize the insight, even

102
00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:58,879
in small groups or quiet moments of fellowship. Christ's presence

103
00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:04,519
is real and powerful. This strengthens our bonds and reminds

104
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,240
us that our unity is rooted in God himself. Being

105
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:13,160
aware of His presence encourages us to love and support

106
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:18,240
one another deeply. This is how God relates to us.

107
00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:21,800
This is our privilege to relate to others. God has

108
00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:25,959
been forgiving toward us, then that means with Him in

109
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:29,480
our presence us, in God's presence, we can be forgiving

110
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,079
and give grace to other people in the same way.

111
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:37,959
For Christ's sake, God has forgiven us. Next best move.

112
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,759
Reach out to someone in your faith community this week

113
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,920
to share a prayer and encouraging word, inviting Christ's presence

114
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,199
into that relationship. Is there someone that's close to you,

115
00:07:52,399 --> 00:07:54,879
or maybe not even that close to you, who's going

116
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,759
through a surgery, who's being going through a healing experience

117
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:02,800
with God. I have a sister in Nashville, a friend's

118
00:08:02,839 --> 00:08:06,279
sister friend in Nashville who is currently going through something

119
00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:09,079
like that where she had surgery not too long ago,

120
00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:12,439
and then a little bit of complication. I'm really understating

121
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,399
it's some complication and she is healing, being healed right now,

122
00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:20,519
and so I do offer encouraging words to her on

123
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,240
a periodic basis, and it's good to hear from her

124
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:27,279
as she continues through the struggle. So again, reach out

125
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:30,600
to someone in your faith community this week to share

126
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:36,480
a prayer or an encouraging word, inviting Christ's presence into

127
00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:41,399
that relationship. And then comes the professional application. W what

128
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:47,320
is important now? Knowing Christ tabernacles with us empowers us

129
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,840
to be prep to be His presence in the workplace.

130
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,679
Let me say it one more time. Somebody got it

131
00:08:55,919 --> 00:08:59,159
that and somebody did not. Knowing Christ tabernacles with us

132
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:05,039
and powers us to be His presence in the workplace.

133
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,960
Do you understand what I'm saying there? Because there we are.

134
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,279
Sometimes the only Bible that somebody will experience. To be

135
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,919
is the answer you've heard to be or not to be?

136
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,960
That is the question, as you can see on my

137
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,240
screen behind me. To be is the answer God wants

138
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,960
us to be all that He has called us to

139
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:31,000
be for His name's sake. And then Finally, finally, let's

140
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,080
go with the next best move. We can internalize that

141
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,159
by ourselves. Next best move. Start your work day by

142
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:41,159
asking God to help you represent his presence well through

143
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,519
your attitude and actions. Make it a great day. See

144
00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:45,039
you in the morning.

145
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

146
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
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,
