10 11 2025 Memorials of Grace · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: author speaker, Elle David Harris.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Sabbath, October eleven,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: where we give you God's word every single day, but
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: study series lessons from Lessons of Faith from Joshua, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: our caption for this Sabbath morning is Memorials of Grace.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Memorials of Grace. God wants us to remember the great
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: things He has done for us, remember what He has
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: done for those who came before us. Before we get
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: into that, I'd like to welcome you and ask you
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: to go over to your Daily portion dot com. Please
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: join our online community and also let us know where
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: you are in the world at your daily portion dot com.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: This is one of the ways that we continue to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray. Father,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: we thank you for this Sabbath morning and for giving
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: us the privilege of coming together in this way. Help
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: us to remember, Help us to always remember how good
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: you have been. Remember how good you've been in our lives,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: in our ancestors lives and the lives of the people
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: of God from ancient history. Father, please teach us not
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to fear in Jesus name. I pray, Amen and Amen again.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Do you ever count your blessings? I think that's a song.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Count your blessings? Do you ever count them? Do you
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: put a list down? Some times? And talking about literally like,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: write a list God, this is the way that you
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: blessed me today. Wow, look at this way that you
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: blessed me today. Look at this list. Oh, this is
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: fifteen things, this is twenty things. Yesterday it was seventy
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: two things. Do you write down and count your blessings
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and go to God and give him thanks for what
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: he has done. The fact that you can open your
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: eyes if you are able to open your eyes, if not,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the fact that you're able to listen, and if you're
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: not able to listen, but you're able to see the
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: closed caption for the hearing impaired for this program. Whatever
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: it is that God has done for you, have you
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: counted those made memorials of God and his blessings and
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: his grace? Well, the Bible actually gives us an interesting
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: reality here in the Book of Joshua, chapter four, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: beginning at verse twenty three, for the Lord your God
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: you passed over. You see, they're making a memorial. They
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: are remembering what God did for his people as they
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: crossed the Jordan. But wait a minute, something happened even
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: before that one just as miraculous. Wait a minute, as
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the Lord your God did the Red Sea. So now
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the children of Israel, those who were twenty years or
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: younger in age, except for Joshua and Caleb, during the exodus,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: they are now remembering how God delivered them over the Jordan,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: and how he delivered them and their parents over the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Red Sea on dry ground. And the Bible continues, which
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: he dried up for us until we passed over. God
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: didn't let it get wet. He did not allow the
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: waters to come down and drown some of the people
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: because they were at the back of the line. No,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: he let them go over on dry ground until every
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: single one of God's people passed over, And then he
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: let the waters go in the time of the Red
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Sea and destroyed and destroy those who were running after them.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: But let me continue so that all the peoples of
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the earth may know that the hand of the Lord
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: is mighty. Are you asking God to do great things
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: in your life for his name's sake? That's a real
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: life question. Type it in the chat. Do when you pray,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: do you say, God, will you do this thing for
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: your name's sake? Do you do this for your name?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Say for your name's sake, Lord, do this for me, please,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: so that you can become a testimony of God, a
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: memorial for lack of a better way of saying it,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: in the earth, where we can look back at your
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: life and say, this is the way that God has
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: been mighty. And the Bible continues that you may fear
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the Lord your God forever. Have respect for God. Have
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: respect for God. He's worthy of this respect. This respect
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: is the word I use, not this. Okay, So let's
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: get some takeaways very quickly this Sabbath morning from the
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: same passage. We can start with the same passage, the
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: same two verses. I won't reread them. And now we're
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: going to couple it with a quote from the book
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Testimonies for the Church. Whoops, let me go back life sketches.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: That's what I meant to say, page one ninety six.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: We have nothing to fear. Somebody was waiting for this one.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: We have nothing to fear for the future. Okay, you
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: don't have a reason to fear for the future. You're
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: wondering what's going to happen in politics wherever you happen
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: to live. You're trying to figure out what's going to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: happen in the world where the weather patterns are concerned,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: or some things that you understand from prophecy, and it's
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: causing anxiety for you, or you're thinking about something that
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you have to face at work or in some other way,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and you're you're fearful. Well, I'm reading here under inspiration.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: We have nothing to fear for the future, except as
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: we shall forget the way the Lord has led us
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I just read a few experiences the people of God
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: had as he delivered them through the Red Sea, through
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the Jordan River on dry ground and destroyed those who
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: were God's enemies as they were pursuing them. And He
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: had given them so much land and so much booty,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and so much of the treasure of the people who
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: did not love God. So we need not to forget
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: what He has done. Did he deliver you when you
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: were in a complicated pregnancy, sister? Did he deliver you brother?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: When you were in a relationship you shouldn't have been
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: in and your mind was off and you were doing
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: things out of character based on that brokenness in that relationship,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: and God delivered you. Did he deliver you son? Did
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: He deliver you daughter from whatever that thing was that
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: was happening at school that you felt like you couldn't
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: tell your parents. We have no fear for the future,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: except we shall forget the way the Lord has led
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: us and his teaching in our past history. So I'm
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: grateful that God has given us way marks in the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: past that we can measure and say, God, since you
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: were so good, then I know that you will be
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: good today. Lesson number two forgetting leads to danger. The
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Bible reads, only take heed to thyself that and keep
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: eyes have seen, and less they depart from thy heart
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: all the days of thy life. From the Book of Deuteronomy,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: chapter four and verse nine, and so. Another quote to
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: support that from the book Testimonies for the Church, Volume five,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: page two hundred and thirty three. We must not forget God.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: She just shot straight to that one, like we're not
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: even talking about just his movements. I shouldn't say just
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: but his movements, she said, don't forget God. He is
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: our strength. Is God, your strength, brother, is God, your strength, sister.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: He is our support, our shield, our exceeding great reward.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: He will guide us safely through even every peril if
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: we only trust in him. Don't trust in your paycheck,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: don't trust in your boss. Don't trust in those contracts
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: you have, those invoices you've sent out. Don't trust in
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: your healthy lifestyle, as if there is no way that
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: something can go wrong if you do do exactly as
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: you should. In twenty twenty five where your health is concerned,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: there is some danger scene and unseen that can still
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: snuff your life out. Do not trust in your ability
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: to memorize scripture, but trust in the God of the scripture.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: You understand so so God will guide us safely through
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: every peril if we only trust Him, not our stuff,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: not our thoughts, not our whatever. And then and then
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: from Luke twenty two and verse nineteen, just a little bit,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: this do in remembrance of me. Of course, the memorial
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: of the Last or the Lord's Supper. I should have said,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the memorials point to Christ. Do these in remembrance of me. Right,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the Cross of Christ will be the science and song
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: of the Redeemed throughout all eternity, and Christ glorified. They
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: will behold Christ crucified. From the book Great Controversy, page
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: six fifty one, make memorials of grace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
