1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,

2
00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:07,879
because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,240
today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,400
portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,199
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,280
to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today

7
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:27,399
and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879
Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,

9
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:33,079
Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Monday, February three,

11
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:40,399
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,399
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,759 --> 00:00:46,320
where we give you God's word every single day, and

14
00:00:46,359 --> 00:00:50,000
today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson

15
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:54,840
study series, God's Love and Justice. Our caption for today

16
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:58,359
is God is entirely I want you to hear these words.

17
00:00:58,439 --> 00:01:05,599
God is entirely good and righteous. Yes, God is entirely

18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,560
good and righteous. We'll get into that in just a moment,

19
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:12,359
but first I'd like to say welcome to you and

20
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:15,280
ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,519
Please join our online community. I need you to pick

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,879
up the Your Daily Portion companion guide for this quarter.

23
00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:26,879
If you have not gotten the companion guide that goes

24
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,359
with the quarterly, it's not the quarterly, it goes with

25
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,879
the quarterly, then please pick it up because it is

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:37,959
determining your interest, is determining whether we will continue next quarter.

27
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,760
So we've already done two quarters, and if this one

28
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:47,159
is successful, then we'll go forward with forward with quarters

29
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:50,239
in the future. Otherwise, yeah, we're done with it all right,

30
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,640
So just let us know at your Daily Portion dot com.

31
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,719
This is one of the ways that you can build

32
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,719
faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and then

33
00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:02,920
get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you for giving us

34
00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:05,879
this new day and for the blessing that we have

35
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:09,280
by experiencing you. And Father, I pray that we will

36
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,560
understand the holiness of God, the character of God, Lord,

37
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,080
your love for us today at least a little better.

38
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,800
In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen, and a man again.

39
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:26,639
God is entirely good and righteous. And I was going

40
00:02:26,719 --> 00:02:29,840
to say, contrary to popular belief, but I'm not sure

41
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:32,439
if it's popular belief or not, but there are a

42
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,280
ton of people out here giving God a bad rap.

43
00:02:37,199 --> 00:02:40,240
If God is so good, then then why do good

44
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:43,639
things happen? Bad things happen to good people? And then

45
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,520
really the converts. That was a mistake in a moment ago,

46
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,120
But now I'm thinking about it. Why David used to

47
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,639
talk about it in the scriptures? Why do good things

48
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,960
happen to bad people? You see? And so we're going

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,039
to discuss some of that today and jump right in

50
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,039
here at the Bible Book of Deuteronomy, chapter thirty two

51
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:09,159
and verse four. God is being referenced here in a

52
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:13,919
way that we need to constantly believe. And the Bible

53
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,039
reads as for the Rock, his work is perfect, So

54
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,719
of course we're talking about God here. His work is

55
00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:24,680
perfect for all his ways are just. How many of

56
00:03:24,719 --> 00:03:28,280
his ways are just? All of them? And remember I

57
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,319
shared with you the other day that justice in the

58
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:39,479
scriptures almost always means righteousness. Okay, so his work is perfect,

59
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,520
for all his ways are just or righteous. He is

60
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:49,319
a reliable God who is never unjust. He is fair

61
00:03:49,639 --> 00:03:54,120
and upright. When your relationships seem to be going south,

62
00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:58,000
he's always fair and upright. He's always just. He's perfect.

63
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,159
He's your rock. It has nothing. It's not him that

64
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:05,319
is causing a challenge. You see in Psalm chapter ninety two,

65
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,560
beginning at verse twelve, the Bible reads, the righteous shall

66
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:12,719
flourish like a palm tree. He shall grow like a

67
00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:17,720
cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house

68
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,639
of the Lord shall flourish. Are you planted in the

69
00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:24,879
house of the Lord? Like? Have you set your steak?

70
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:28,519
Have you pitched your tent in the presence of God? Huh?

71
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:32,439
The Bible says, when you do that, you shall flourish

72
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,079
in the courts of our God. They shall still bring

73
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:40,480
forth fruit in old age. So for those of us

74
00:04:40,519 --> 00:04:44,759
who are who are aging, I'm into my second century

75
00:04:45,319 --> 00:04:48,279
or moving, yeah, into my second century. So of half

76
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,319
a century, I sounded old right there at a not

77
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,120
one hundred and something. What I meant to say was

78
00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:00,079
I'm into moving into just past a half of century

79
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:05,000
of life, and I am considering, like what happens from here? Well,

80
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,120
the Bible says that I will bring fruit in old age, continuing,

81
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:14,040
they shall be fat and flourishing. To show that the

82
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,759
Lord is upright. He is my rock and there is

83
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,879
no unrighteousness in him. People say all kinds of things

84
00:05:22,879 --> 00:05:25,959
about God, but let us see what the scriptures say.

85
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,160
Let us see what those who've experienced God, and who

86
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,360
yea even in this moment, almost six minutes into our broadcast,

87
00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:36,439
are saying, Yes, I can attest that God is as

88
00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:41,319
good as this says. And in Psalm chapter nine, beginning

89
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,439
at verse six, the Bible reads, the enemies cities have

90
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,040
been reduced to permanent ruins. You destroyed their cities. All

91
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:52,199
memory of the enemies is perished. Some of you are

92
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:56,839
fighting the enemies of cancer. Some of you are fighting

93
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:02,160
the enemies of ungodly people at work, at play somewhere ah.

94
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,079
Some of you are dealing with enemies that you don't

95
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,279
even really want to mention, people who have abused God forbid,

96
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:12,319
have abused you and done unmentionable things to you, or

97
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,519
family members or some others that you love. The Bible

98
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,759
says that their memory shall be perished. He's going to

99
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:26,560
destroy all of that for unrepentant people, okay, verse seven.

100
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:32,720
But the Lord rules forever. He reigns in a just manner.

101
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:37,879
He judges the world fairly, He makes just legal decisions

102
00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:42,920
for the nations. Consequently, Consequently, the Lord provides safety for

103
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,279
the oppressed. He provides safety in times of trouble. Your

104
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:51,920
loyal followers trust you. For you, Lord, do not abandon

105
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,000
those who seek your help. Sing praises to the Lord

106
00:06:56,439 --> 00:07:02,360
who rules in Zion. Tell the nations what he has done.

107
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,480
Tell the nations what he has done. In Psalm chapter

108
00:07:07,519 --> 00:07:09,920
one hundred and forty five, beginning at verse nine, the

109
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,639
Bible reads, the Lord is good to all, and his

110
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,720
compassion on all he has made. All your works will

111
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,920
give thanks to you, Lord. Your loyal followers will praise you.

112
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,639
Do you praise the Lord every day, brothers and sisters,

113
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,279
even in these moments that may be of trial for you?

114
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:32,879
Are you praising the Lord every day, brothers and sisters?

115
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,120
If you want to guarantee the presence of God in

116
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:40,319
your life. The Bible says that God inhabited the praises

117
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:43,439
of his people. This is what he does. He comes

118
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,319
into the space, or elevates us, as the case may be,

119
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,439
into his presence when we praise him. Bible continues in

120
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:57,240
verse eleven. They will proclaim the splendor of your kingdom.

121
00:07:57,319 --> 00:08:02,680
They will tell all about your power, so that mankind

122
00:08:02,839 --> 00:08:06,800
might acknowledge your mighty acts and the majestic splendor of

123
00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:10,040
your kingdom. Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your

124
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:15,120
dominion endures through all generations. The Lord supports all who fall.

125
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,480
Have you ever fallen and felt like you could not

126
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,519
get up? Have you ever fallen into sin? God forbid?

127
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,439
Have you ever fallen in a relationship that you see

128
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,959
went south and your emotions were out of control? But

129
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,920
God had to lift you up and maybe even send

130
00:08:29,959 --> 00:08:34,120
someone your way to help you get balanced. The Bible continues,

131
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,679
and He lifts up all who are bent over, that is,

132
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:42,000
those who are discouraged Verse fifteen. Everything looks to you

133
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,879
in anticipation, and you provide them with food on a

134
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:51,120
regular basis. You open your hand and fill every living

135
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,200
thing with food that they desire. The Lord is just

136
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,000
in all of his actions and exhibits love in all

137
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,120
all that he does. This is a word of encouragement

138
00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:08,200
to someone today, because you have somehow forgotten, because you've

139
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,200
allowed your trials and tribulations to cloud your mind and

140
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,360
your judgment. Maybe you've allowed something that you saw on

141
00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:18,799
the Internet or in social media somewhere to cloud your judgment,

142
00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:22,759
and you've forgotten that God cannot forget you. He said,

143
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:25,720
as a hen gathereth her chicks. He he gathers you,

144
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,600
he said, you are engraved upon the palms of his hands.

145
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,600
I need you to know that at all times and

146
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:36,720
in all situations, God is entirely good and righteous. I

147
00:09:36,799 --> 00:09:39,399
need you to just reach out to God in faith

148
00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:42,600
and believe him, and you will see your life change

149
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:43,799
forever peace.

150
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening.

151
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: Friends.

152
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

153
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

154
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make

155
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,279
it a great day. Yeah,
