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 --> 00:00:26,320 today and receive the power we need to live healthy. 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,359 Speaker 2: Vibrant lives. 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879 Speaker 1: Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker, 10 00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:33,079 Elle David Harris. 11 00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning.

Hello, my name is El David Harris. 13 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,719 I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion 14 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,039 where we give you God's word every single day, and 15 00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,439 today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson 16 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:55,240 study series Exodus from or the Journey to the Promised Land. 17 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,200 I'm going to get it right, Exodus Journey to the 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,640 Promised Land, and we are under the caption Moses is Born, 19 00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:06,159 Moses is Born. Before we get into that, I'd like 20 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,239 to say welcome to everyone joining us, especially those joining 21 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,959 for the very first time.

This is one of the ways 26 00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:30,200 that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go 27 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,040 ahead and pray. Father, we thank you for the fact 28 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,760 that Jesus Christ was born unto a woman in this 29 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,079 earth in order to save us. Thank You for the 30 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,640 story of Moses and the deliverance that came to your 31 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,640 people because of him. Help us to model the character 32 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,480 the good parts in Jesus name. I pray Amen and 33 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,040 Damen again. Why were you born? For what purpose were 34 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,040 you born? I think the Bible says when God is 35 00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:07,120 speaking of Jeremiah that before he formed Jeremiah in his 36 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,000 mother's womb, God knew him well that he would be 37 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,240 a prophet unto the nations. Why were you born? Have 38 00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:14,560 you ever talked to God about that? 39 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:14,719 Speaker 1: Like? 40 00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:18,039 Speaker 2: God, what is my purpose? Why am I here? What 41 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,960 am I to do? How can I glorify you? Yeah? 42 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,319 This is a good place to start for all of us. 43 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,319 Maybe today is the day, like July two, this is 44 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,039 your day for the first time to ask God, why 45 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,039 are you here? Okay, okay, that was new for some 46 00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:38,000 of you. Let me read a couple of things from 47 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,919 the lesson study, and then we'll get some special lessons 48 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,439 and application in a moment here. So, though under a 49 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,560 death sentence at birth, as in Exodus one and verse 50 00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:52,680 twenty two, as soon as this boy is about to 51 00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:56,680 be born, he's under a death sentence. Moses was born 52 00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:03,599 as a quote special son or literally good like tolb 53 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:11,560 told good, okay, God's work during Creation week, when he 54 00:03:11,759 --> 00:03:18,680 declared everything was good, even very good, should be an 55 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,599 indicator of your life. Can I just say that again? So? 56 00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:24,360 The Bible says that Moses was a special son, and 57 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,000 it literally means in Hebrew good. When God created the 58 00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:31,439 heavens and the earth, when God created the seas and 59 00:03:31,479 --> 00:03:34,039 all that in them, is when God did all of that, 60 00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:37,719 he blessed all of that. The Bible says that he 61 00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:43,319 said it was good, good, very good. So when you 62 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,400 ask God like why you're here, why did He create you? 63 00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:50,080 Then you should be on the lookout for the good, good, 64 00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:54,800 very good? Why am I here? His name is thus 65 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,800 rendered in Hebrew as most well. I'm not going to 66 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,039 try to pronounce it, but it means Moses namely drawn out. 67 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,599 I think the people of God the Church of God 68 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,479 is the called out. Once Ecclesia called out, so Moses 69 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,240 was drawn out, you are called out. His life was 70 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,360 miraculously spared when he was drawn out of the river. 71 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:23,759 Now let's get some lessons really quickly. The first one 72 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,079 I'd like to share with you comes in from the 73 00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:31,759 Bible Book of Exodus, chapter two and verse six. Exodus 74 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,920 chapter two and verse six, and the Bible reads and 75 00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:39,839 when she had opened it, meaning where Moses was being 76 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,079 held right to protect him from what was going on, 77 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:49,680 she saw the child, and behold the babe wept and 78 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:55,800 guess what she had compassion on him. She had compassion 79 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,040 on him. You see, God's providence is at work even 80 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,360 in oppressive systems. You see the woman, she didn't inadvertently 81 00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:08,120 find the sun even though there was a death decree, 82 00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:11,199 and whatever was about to happen if he lived would 83 00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:15,399 have been illegal. But under a death decree he was born. 84 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,439 But God preserved Moses right in Pharaoh's own house. Can 85 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,759 you imagine, the one who put the decree out has 86 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,199 one of the children that are supposed to be destroyed 87 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,839 because of what he said. Now, God's hands shielded him 88 00:05:29,399 --> 00:05:33,439 through the most unlikely channel. Are you on the lookout 89 00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:36,079 for how God is going to deliver you? Are you 90 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,959 on the lookout for how God is going to be 91 00:05:38,079 --> 00:05:41,199 with you through your trial, through your tribulation. I want 92 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,839 you to make it a habit to be amazed by 93 00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:48,519 God but not surprised. How in the world could God 94 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,600 have delivered Moses right up under Pharaoh's nose in his 95 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,360 own household. Well that's not my business, but I can 96 00:05:56,399 --> 00:06:01,160 say that today when I'm facing hostile environments, I'm speaking 97 00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:05,399 to you too. Trust that God can still place you 98 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,399 exactly where you need to be. Pray for the clarity 99 00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:16,439 to recognize His hand even in strange places, right up 100 00:06:16,519 --> 00:06:20,160 under Pharaoh's nose. If you ever thought of that, that's amazing. Yeah, 101 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,240 I'm amazed by God, but not surprised. The other lesson. 102 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,959 Our next lesson comes from Exodus, chapter two and verse two. 103 00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:28,920 She saw him that he was a goodly child, or 104 00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:32,240 a healthy child. I already said a little bit about that, 105 00:06:32,399 --> 00:06:36,319 But in this case, God sees value in you before 106 00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:40,040 others recognize your purpose. She saw that he was a 107 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,560 goodly child, She saw that he was special. But did 108 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,240 she know that she was about to be the deliverer 109 00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:49,519 that God would use along with Aaron for the people 110 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,360 of God. M did she know that he would have 111 00:06:52,439 --> 00:06:56,240 been a standard of holiness that we will be talking 112 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,879 about in July of twenty twenty five. Of course not right. 113 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,399 God already had a plan before Moses could even speak. 114 00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:08,879 When you see those children walking around or running around, 115 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,240 even some of the children that you would consider to 116 00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:13,800 be bad children in air quotes, I don't have the 117 00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:17,160 time to deal with that concept. But all of these children, 118 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,480 have you considered that maybe God already has a plan 119 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,720 for them and that what He is planning to do 120 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,079 through them is miraculous? What are you going to do 121 00:07:27,399 --> 00:07:29,600 to support it? What if you were one of the midwives, 122 00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:32,040 what if you were Pharaoh's daughter? Like, what would you 123 00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:36,800 do to support it? Ohm? So here is the action 124 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,839 for me, except that your value does not depend on 125 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:47,959 who sees your potential. Now, ask God to shape you 126 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,439 into the purpose that He is placed within you before birth, 127 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,040 before birth. From Exodus chapter two, verses seven and eight, 128 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,399 the Bible reads then said his sister, meaning Moses's sister 129 00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:08,560 to Pharaoh's daughter, shall I go and call the a nurse? 130 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,639 The story the plot thickens like not only is he 131 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,480 being raised in Pharaoh's house. Not only did the med 132 00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:19,040 midwife say, no, we are not about to kill these babies. 133 00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:21,879 Not only that, but even one of the ones that 134 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,240 was supposed to be destroyed, who's being raised in Pharaoh's house, 135 00:08:25,519 --> 00:08:29,160 is being raised by his own mother. I can you 136 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,200 imagine his own mother. And so God places the right 137 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,360 people around you for the purpose. Are you one of 138 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,919 the right people that God is placing around someone else? 139 00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:42,080 Are you too, identify people around you that God has 140 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,080 placed in your life for a purpose. For from his 141 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:50,759 mother's wisdom to Pharaoh's daughter's compassion and Miriam's courage, Moses's 142 00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:54,720 survival was a team effort led by God. And it 143 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,000 must not be lost upon us that this is a 144 00:08:57,039 --> 00:09:00,879 team full of women, women who are being led by 145 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:06,279 God in the most unlikely of situations. And so today 146 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,840 I need to identify the people that God has placed 147 00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:12,080 in my life for my growth and protection and thank 148 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,840 God for them. And if you get a moment, please 149 00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:19,399 thank them, partner with them in faith. And then our final, 150 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,960 our final. With a couple of moments that we have left, 151 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,639 God can use even elite training to prepare you and 152 00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:31,039 then retrain you for his glory. Moses received the best 153 00:09:31,159 --> 00:09:34,799 education at Egypt could offer, and yet God would later 154 00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:42,720 reshape his identity through forty years in the wilderness. Very interesting. Yeah, 155 00:09:42,759 --> 00:09:44,799 why were you born? Ask God peace. 156 00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:46,279 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. 157 00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 2: Friends. 158 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by 159 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679 every word that comes from the mouth of God. This 160 00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200 has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make 161 00:09:57,279 --> 00:09:58,039 it a great day. 162 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,279 Speaker 2: Yeah.
