• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

  Speaker 2: God is entirely good and righteous. Yes, God is entirely
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: good and righteous. We'll get into that in just a moment,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: but first I'd like to say welcome to you and
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Please join our online community. I need you to pick
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: up the Your Daily Portion companion guide for this quarter.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: If you have not gotten the companion guide that goes
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: with the quarterly, it's not the quarterly, it goes with
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the quarterly, then please pick it up because it is
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: determining your interest, is determining whether we will continue next quarter.
• 1:38

  Speaker 2: is successful, then we'll go forward with forward with quarters
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: in the future. Otherwise, yeah, we're done with it all right,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: So just let us know at your Daily Portion dot com.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: This is one of the ways that you can build
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and then
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you for giving us
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: this new day and for the blessing that we have
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: by experiencing you. And Father, I pray that we will
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: understand the holiness of God, the character of God, Lord,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: your love for us today at least a little better.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen, and a man again.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: God is entirely good and righteous. And I was going
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to say, contrary to popular belief, but I'm not sure
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: if it's popular belief or not, but there are a
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: ton of people out here giving God a bad rap.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: If God is so good, then then why do good
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: things happen? Bad things happen to good people? And then
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: really the converts. That was a mistake in a moment ago,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: But now I'm thinking about it. Why David used to
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: talk about it in the scriptures? Why do good things
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: happen to bad people? You see? And so we're going
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: to discuss some of that today and jump right in
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: here at the Bible Book of Deuteronomy, chapter thirty two
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and verse four. God is being referenced here in a
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: way that we need to constantly believe. And the Bible
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: reads as for the Rock, his work is perfect, So
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: of course we're talking about God here. His work is
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: perfect for all his ways are just. How many of
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: his ways are just? All of them? And remember I
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: shared with you the other day that justice in the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: scriptures almost always means righteousness. Okay, so his work is perfect,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: for all his ways are just or righteous. He is
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: a reliable God who is never unjust. He is fair
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and upright. When your relationships seem to be going south,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: he's always fair and upright. He's always just. He's perfect.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: He's your rock. It has nothing. It's not him that
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: is causing a challenge. You see in Psalm chapter ninety two,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: beginning at verse twelve, the Bible reads, the righteous shall
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: flourish like a palm tree. He shall grow like a
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of the Lord shall flourish. Are you planted in the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: house of the Lord? Like? Have you set your steak?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Have you pitched your tent in the presence of God? Huh?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, when you do that, you shall flourish
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: in the courts of our God. They shall still bring
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: forth fruit in old age. So for those of us
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: who are who are aging, I'm into my second century
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: or moving, yeah, into my second century. So of half
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: a century, I sounded old right there at a not
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: one hundred and something. What I meant to say was
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I'm into moving into just past a half of century
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: of life, and I am considering, like what happens from here? Well,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the Bible says that I will bring fruit in old age, continuing,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: they shall be fat and flourishing. To show that the
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Lord is upright. He is my rock and there is
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: no unrighteousness in him. People say all kinds of things
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: about God, but let us see what the scriptures say.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Let us see what those who've experienced God, and who
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: yea even in this moment, almost six minutes into our broadcast,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: are saying, Yes, I can attest that God is as
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: good as this says. And in Psalm chapter nine, beginning
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: at verse six, the Bible reads, the enemies cities have
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: been reduced to permanent ruins. You destroyed their cities. All
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: memory of the enemies is perished. Some of you are
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: fighting the enemies of cancer. Some of you are fighting
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the enemies of ungodly people at work, at play somewhere ah.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Some of you are dealing with enemies that you don't
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: even really want to mention, people who have abused God forbid,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: have abused you and done unmentionable things to you, or
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: family members or some others that you love. The Bible
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: says that their memory shall be perished. He's going to
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: destroy all of that for unrepentant people, okay, verse seven.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: But the Lord rules forever. He reigns in a just manner.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: He judges the world fairly, He makes just legal decisions
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: for the nations. Consequently, Consequently, the Lord provides safety for
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the oppressed. He provides safety in times of trouble. Your
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: loyal followers trust you. For you, Lord, do not abandon
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: those who seek your help. Sing praises to the Lord
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: who rules in Zion. Tell the nations what he has done.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Tell the nations what he has done. In Psalm chapter
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: one hundred and forty five, beginning at verse nine, the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Bible reads, the Lord is good to all, and his
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: compassion on all he has made. All your works will
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: give thanks to you, Lord. Your loyal followers will praise you.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Do you praise the Lord every day, brothers and sisters,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: even in these moments that may be of trial for you?
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Are you praising the Lord every day, brothers and sisters?
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: If you want to guarantee the presence of God in
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: your life. The Bible says that God inhabited the praises
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: of his people. This is what he does. He comes
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: into the space, or elevates us, as the case may be,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: into his presence when we praise him. Bible continues in
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: verse eleven. They will proclaim the splendor of your kingdom.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: They will tell all about your power, so that mankind
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: might acknowledge your mighty acts and the majestic splendor of
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: your kingdom. Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: dominion endures through all generations. The Lord supports all who fall.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Have you ever fallen and felt like you could not
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: get up? Have you ever fallen into sin? God forbid?
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Have you ever fallen in a relationship that you see
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: went south and your emotions were out of control? But
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: God had to lift you up and maybe even send
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: someone your way to help you get balanced. The Bible continues,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and He lifts up all who are bent over, that is,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: those who are discouraged Verse fifteen. Everything looks to you
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: in anticipation, and you provide them with food on a
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: regular basis. You open your hand and fill every living
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: thing with food that they desire. The Lord is just
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: in all of his actions and exhibits love in all
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: all that he does. This is a word of encouragement
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: to someone today, because you have somehow forgotten, because you've
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: allowed your trials and tribulations to cloud your mind and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: your judgment. Maybe you've allowed something that you saw on
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the Internet or in social media somewhere to cloud your judgment,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: and you've forgotten that God cannot forget you. He said,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: as a hen gathereth her chicks. He he gathers you,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: he said, you are engraved upon the palms of his hands.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I need you to know that at all times and
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: in all situations, God is entirely good and righteous. I
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: need you to just reach out to God in faith
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and believe him, and you will see your life change
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: forever peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Friends.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah,
