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, Good morning, it is Tuesday. It's
July fifteen, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is Elle
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 through the Book of Exodus, and our
caption for today is the Divine I. That is the
letter I, the divine I. Before we get into that,
I'd like to just say welcome to everyone joining us,
especially those joining us for the very first time. Please
please go over to your Daily Portion dot com pick
up the Your Daily Portion Life Application Guide. Please also
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. Father, we thank you for being
the I am that I am, Blessed be your name,
that is completely in control of all things in the universe,
who will soon finally descend from heaven with a shout,
and we look forward to that day. Thank you for
the fact that we'll we'll experience the Holy Ghost. We'll
see you, we will see Jesus as he is. Thank
you for the day that is coming soon and very soon.
Please please prepare us in Jesus' name. I pray, Amen
and amen again the Divine Eye, the Divine Eye. Let's
go ahead and begin in the Bible with the concept
in order for God to introduce himself God first, Okay,
let me say it this way. In order for God
to introduce himself to the Pharaoh, that king, God introduced
himself first to his people and Moses. So before the
Pharaoh gets to be introduced, then God has to give
a refresher course to Moses and God's people, Okay. And
so in Exodus chapter five, verse beginning at verse twenty two,
the Bible read So Moses returned to the Lord and said, Lord,
why have you brought terrible brought trouble on this people?
Why is it you have sent me? For since I
have come to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he
has done evil to his people. Neither have you delivered
your people at all. So I don't know if Moses
thought it was going to be like a snap of
the finger, it would happen just immediately when when God
gave him the message and said, let your people, let
my people go. Then Pharaoh was like, oh, okay, fly
the gate, just let him go. Uh huh. So as
soon as I went in there, you didn't deliver. As
soon as I went in there, he made it more difficult. God, like,
what is really going on here? And then God is like,
come here, Moses, come close, Come close, Like do you
not remember the burning bush incident? Like the experience you
had when we connected? And so in verse one of
Exodus chapter six, the Bible reads, then the Lord said
to Moses, now you will see what I will do
to Pharaoh. For with a strong hand will he let
them go. And with a strong hand he will drive
them out of his land. And God spoke to Moses
and said to him, I am the Lord. I appeared
to Abraham, I appeared to Isaac, I appeared to Jacob
as God Almighty. Let me just say, blessed be his name.
But by my name the Lord, I mean Jehovah or Yahweh, Yahweh,
Blessed be his name. By that name, I am not
known to them. I have also established my covenant with
them to give them the land of Canaan. I've told
you I was going to do it, the land of
their pilgrimage. I told you I was going to do
it in which they were strangers. And I have also
heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the
Egyptians keep in bondage. And I have remembered my covenant.
I haven't forgotten. I don't slumber, I don't sleep. I
am the God of Israel who watches you. I see
everything that you are experiencing. In fact, do you not
remember the time that Joseph served in the same place?
How I caused you to rise up? Come on, now,
I'm introducing myself as as Yahweh, and I will say
blessed be his name, the one who is self existent
and eternal, the one who sees all and knows all. Yes,
I am almighty. But I am also the one who
is close enough to hear your groanings, and I will
deliver my people. Verse six. Therefore, say to the children
of Israel, I am the Lord. I will bring you
out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. I will
rescue you from their bondage. And I, this is the
Divine Eye, will redeem you with an outstretched arm and
with great judgments. I this is the Divine Eye. I
will take you as my people. And I this is
the Divine Eye, will be your God. See, this is
the ultimate outcome that God is after all of the deliverance,
all of the stress, all of the redemption, all of
these things lead to the one thing that God really
is after. You know what it is. He's after the relationship?
Are you after the relationship with the Divine Eye? How
don't mean highly, Selassie. I'm saying the Divine I who
created all things, not the eye that was in Isaiah
chapter fourteen and the book of Ezekiel with the devil
who was once Lucifer talking about I will do this,
I will be that I will ascend here, not that
I not the one that we proclaim on a regular
basis with the social media. We hold up our phones
and we're on the social media and put the little
filters on it and show everybody what I am doing
all the time. I am squatting, I am bench pressing,
I am doing this thing on this island. I am
spending money frivolously. I have purchased all this goofy stuff
so people can follow me. I not that we're talking
about the ie who created all things, the eye who
sees all things, and still loves you despite all of
the wickedness that is deep in your mind that nobody
else even knows about. That you'll never be on trial,
for it will never be entered into evidence, it will
never be flashed on the television screen. He knows all
of those skeletons that are in every human's closet, and
still loves us. And all we need to do is
surrender our will to him and to serve him. He's
after the relationship, the Bible continues. Then you shall know
that I am the Lord, your God, and who brings
you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and
I will bring you into the land which I swore
I swore to give Abraham, I swore to give Isaac,
I swore to give Jacob, and I will give it
to you as a heritage. I am the Lord. So
when God introduces himself to you, is he introducing himself
as the one who is judged now and is condemning
you because you have chosen to fight him like that
particular king in Egypt. Not all of the kings of
Egypt disrespected and fought God. Like I said during the
time of Joseph, that king learned to serve. He believed
that God is who exactly he said he was, you see,
And so is he introducing himself as that because you
are hardening your heart like the Pharaoh of the time
of Moses was, Or is he introducing himself as I
just described, as the one who will deliver, the one
who has saved you, the one who loves you, the
one who hears your groanings in those relationships that have
gone south, when your money is shorter than your month,
when your health seems to be in shambles. And maybe indeed,
and in fact is but he is the resurrection in
the life, like everything that he touches has life in it.
Like he is the one that we have the privilege
of worshiping. So which of these invitations, huh? Which of
these descriptions are you accepting the one that comes with
condemnation because of human choice to turn our backs on God,
or the one that is an invitation into right relationship
and eternity with God. And so there are so many
lessons I wanted to share, but I think we can
really just kind of slow down right here. I'll give
you one good one apart from all that we have said,
and just simply say, God's deliverance is rooted in relationship.
Don't ask God only for help, that's good, but be great,
ask him about being in right relationship with him. That's
the reward. Peace.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
