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 Monday, February three,
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El 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, God's Love and Justice. Our caption for today
is God is entirely I want you to hear these words.
God is entirely good and righteous. Yes, God is entirely
good and righteous. We'll get into that in just a moment,
but first I'd like to say welcome to you and
ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
Please join our online community. I need you to pick
up the Your Daily Portion companion guide for this quarter.
If you have not gotten the companion guide that goes
with the quarterly, it's not the quarterly, it goes with
the quarterly, then please pick it up because it is
determining your interest, is determining whether we will continue next quarter.
So we've already done two quarters, and if this one
is successful, then we'll go forward with forward with quarters
in the future. Otherwise, yeah, we're done with it all right,
So just let us know at your Daily Portion dot com.
This is one of the ways that you can build
faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and then
get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you for giving us
this new day and for the blessing that we have
by experiencing you. And Father, I pray that we will
understand the holiness of God, the character of God, Lord,
your love for us today at least a little better.
In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen, and a man again.
God is entirely good and righteous. And I was going
to say, contrary to popular belief, but I'm not sure
if it's popular belief or not, but there are a
ton of people out here giving God a bad rap.
If God is so good, then then why do good
things happen? Bad things happen to good people? And then
really the converts. That was a mistake in a moment ago,
But now I'm thinking about it. Why David used to
talk about it in the scriptures? Why do good things
happen to bad people? You see? And so we're going
to discuss some of that today and jump right in
here at the Bible Book of Deuteronomy, chapter thirty two
and verse four. God is being referenced here in a
way that we need to constantly believe. And the Bible
reads as for the Rock, his work is perfect, So
of course we're talking about God here. His work is
perfect for all his ways are just. How many of
his ways are just? All of them? And remember I
shared with you the other day that justice in the
scriptures almost always means righteousness. Okay, so his work is perfect,
for all his ways are just or righteous. He is
a reliable God who is never unjust. He is fair
and upright. When your relationships seem to be going south,
he's always fair and upright. He's always just. He's perfect.
He's your rock. It has nothing. It's not him that
is causing a challenge. You see in Psalm chapter ninety two,
beginning at verse twelve, the Bible reads, the righteous shall
flourish like a palm tree. He shall grow like a
cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house
of the Lord shall flourish. Are you planted in the
house of the Lord? Like? Have you set your steak?
Have you pitched your tent in the presence of God? Huh?
The Bible says, when you do that, you shall flourish
in the courts of our God. They shall still bring
forth fruit in old age. So for those of us
who are who are aging, I'm into my second century
or moving, yeah, into my second century. So of half
a century, I sounded old right there at a not
one hundred and something. What I meant to say was
I'm into moving into just past a half of century
of life, and I am considering, like what happens from here? Well,
the Bible says that I will bring fruit in old age, continuing,
they shall be fat and flourishing. To show that the
Lord is upright. He is my rock and there is
no unrighteousness in him. People say all kinds of things
about God, but let us see what the scriptures say.
Let us see what those who've experienced God, and who
yea even in this moment, almost six minutes into our broadcast,
are saying, Yes, I can attest that God is as
good as this says. And in Psalm chapter nine, beginning
at verse six, the Bible reads, the enemies cities have
been reduced to permanent ruins. You destroyed their cities. All
memory of the enemies is perished. Some of you are
fighting the enemies of cancer. Some of you are fighting
the enemies of ungodly people at work, at play somewhere ah.
Some of you are dealing with enemies that you don't
even really want to mention, people who have abused God forbid,
have abused you and done unmentionable things to you, or
family members or some others that you love. The Bible
says that their memory shall be perished. He's going to
destroy all of that for unrepentant people, okay, verse seven.
But the Lord rules forever. He reigns in a just manner.
He judges the world fairly, He makes just legal decisions
for the nations. Consequently, Consequently, the Lord provides safety for
the oppressed. He provides safety in times of trouble. Your
loyal followers trust you. For you, Lord, do not abandon
those who seek your help. Sing praises to the Lord
who rules in Zion. Tell the nations what he has done.
Tell the nations what he has done. In Psalm chapter
one hundred and forty five, beginning at verse nine, the
Bible reads, the Lord is good to all, and his
compassion on all he has made. All your works will
give thanks to you, Lord. Your loyal followers will praise you.
Do you praise the Lord every day, brothers and sisters,
even in these moments that may be of trial for you?
Are you praising the Lord every day, brothers and sisters?
If you want to guarantee the presence of God in
your life. The Bible says that God inhabited the praises
of his people. This is what he does. He comes
into the space, or elevates us, as the case may be,
into his presence when we praise him. Bible continues in
verse eleven. They will proclaim the splendor of your kingdom.
They will tell all about your power, so that mankind
might acknowledge your mighty acts and the majestic splendor of
your kingdom. Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your
dominion endures through all generations. The Lord supports all who fall.
Have you ever fallen and felt like you could not
get up? Have you ever fallen into sin? God forbid?
Have you ever fallen in a relationship that you see
went south and your emotions were out of control? But
God had to lift you up and maybe even send
someone your way to help you get balanced. The Bible continues,
and He lifts up all who are bent over, that is,
those who are discouraged Verse fifteen. Everything looks to you
in anticipation, and you provide them with food on a
regular basis. You open your hand and fill every living
thing with food that they desire. The Lord is just
in all of his actions and exhibits love in all
all that he does. This is a word of encouragement
to someone today, because you have somehow forgotten, because you've
allowed your trials and tribulations to cloud your mind and
your judgment. Maybe you've allowed something that you saw on
the Internet or in social media somewhere to cloud your judgment,
and you've forgotten that God cannot forget you. He said,
as a hen gathereth her chicks. He he gathers you,
he said, you are engraved upon the palms of his hands.
I need you to know that at all times and
in all situations, God is entirely good and righteous. I
need you to just reach out to God in faith
and believe him, and you will see your life change
forever peace.

Speaker 2: Friends.
Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make
