• 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

  Speaker 2: every single day and today is no exception. We are

• 1:01
  Speaker 2: please show me your glory.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: We did talk about that a little bit yesterday that
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I might know you, but we're going in deeper. Okay,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: And for those of you who are new and this
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: is like, WHOA, what is this going on? I see
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the date two times on your platform. Don't hear about
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: this one on the radio? What is this? Well, we
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: don't have the time in the morning to apply what
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: we're studying in a way that I think is appropriate.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: And so because we have the Your Daily Portion Life
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Application Guide, which you can get at your Daily Portion
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: dot com, I said we would read through the guide
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: together during the lunchtime, and I want you to choose,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: like one of the ways that you're going to apply,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: what way are you going to really focus in on,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: even though you can use all four, but today you're
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: going to focus on which one spiritual application, personal relationship
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: or professional Go ahead and type that in the chat
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and then commit to that so the word becomes living
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: for you and not just the theory. Okay, So let's
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: go ahead and pray. Father, we thank you for this
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: day and for keeping us thus far in the day. Lord,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: we don't take it for granted. Please please give us
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: understanding and help us to apply your truth today in
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay, So
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: we're going in for the spiritual application using the wind
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: acronym or framework. Do w what is important now? Spiritually
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: God's glory is revealed through his goodness and his character. Like,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: there's no other way to experience the glory of God
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: except that he manifest himself visually or visibly to you. Okay.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: And so since we are on planet Earth and God
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: said there shall no man or no woman see me
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: and live, we want to experience his character? Well, how
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: can we do that? Through prayer? We study his word,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: we experience the ways that He has chosen to communicate
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: with people. I'm not gonna teach it. I'm really just
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: gonna again focus here on these application points. Internalize the insight.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: When Moses asks to see God's glory, God showed him
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: his goodness, his mercy, his grace, his patience. Remember, God
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: was announcing himself the Lord, the Lord God, and I
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: said that this morning. I love that part, by the way,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and God is announcing himself by character attributes, and he
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: is showing him even in nature the power that is God.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: And he continues with patience and love. And they are
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the truest display of God's glory. The cross of Jesus
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Christ is the ultimate expression of that glory. We live
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. We don't have the limitations that
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Moses had and so now we get to focus on
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the cross of Jesus Christ and the fact that God
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: so loved the world that he gave his only begoten
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: son so we could have eternal life. When you focus
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: on the cross or the sacrifice of Christ, you are
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: not only seeing God's plan of salvation, but you are
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: seeing his very heart. I gave you the lyrics yesterday
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: of the near to the heart of God Him, and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: that's what comes to my mind again. Next best move spiritually,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: make it a daily practice to pause and reflect upon
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Crosslet your prayers include
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: time to simply thank God for who he is, not
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: only what he does. Going on to the personal application,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: what is important now your transformation flows from beholding God's character.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: We're talking about personally, not just spiritually. Yeah, there are
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: four behavior styles that I like to focus on with
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the flight assessment. Shout to doctor Eric Thomas and the squad.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: And in those areas that we are mastering ourselves. We
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: are mastering ourselves in those areas that we're strong and
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: we are overcoming those limitations in areas that we have
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: gone too far in our strengths to where they become
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: manufactured limitations. God is transforming us even personally, and then
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: internalize the insight. The more you meditate on God's mercy
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and sacrifice is the more your own life will begin
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: to mirror that goodness. God's character will be reflected in
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: your words. You see, these are the pragmatic things every
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: day we speak to someone, whether with our two thumbs
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: typing are actually hunting and pecking or typing old school
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: way with our keyboards. We're communicating in words and our
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: decisions and your attitude toward others. You know, you can
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: exude an attitude toward people that they can sense and
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: if that ain't right, they gonna know it. Next best move,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: choose one area where you often struggle. You need to
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: be honest with yourself, where you often struggle to show
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: patience or grace. Need to realize that more than ninety
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: five percent of people don't even begin the journey of
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: what's called self awareness, and then the small percentage of
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: those who do are still not on the path of
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: actually doing something about it. So I want you to
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: be in the minority here and actually be honest with yourself.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Ask God today to help you display his goodness in
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: that area. You're a pass through a conduit relationships application.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: What is important now? Your interactions should reflect God's goodness,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: even toward those have to take a deep breath. He
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: who frustrate or hurt you. There are some folks that
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: really do frustrate me, or maybe I should say I
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: am frustrated by them. I don't know if they're actively
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: intending to frustrate me, but man, some ways that people
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: move are It's frustrating to me. But my intention should
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: reflect God's. Interactions should reflect God's goodness even in those
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: difficult situations. Internalize the insight. The way you treat others
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: becomes a visible reflection of whether you are truly beholding
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: God's character. There's so much going on that I want
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: to talk about, but I think it'll just be a
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: lightning rod for unnecessary debate. But listen by their fruits,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: ye shall know them. There are a lot of people
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: on the Internet and on mainstream media talking about all
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: kinds of stuff, But what is the fruit of it?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Is it a visible reflection of God's character. Just as
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: God shows mercy to you, extend mercy to others. Oh,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: God taught us how to deal with our enemies and
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: those who despitefully use us and abuse us and say
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: all manner of evil against us falsely for his sake,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: like God has shown us how to deal with that
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: next best move relationally before any difficult conversation. And it
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: really doesn't need to be difficult, but we use the
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: word so Sister DEDI she says that there are no
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: conversations that are difficult, and I agree with her, but
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: sometimes we call it that. But let me just not
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: get too far into that. But before you get into
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: any of those kinds of conversations today, pray quietly, Lord,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: let them see your goodness through me. And then professional application,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: w what is important now? Even your leadership can become
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: a witness for God's character. Internalize the insight leadership marked
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: by grace. Yes, do you show people grace, fairness that's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: biblical patience becomes an environment in atmosphere where God's presence
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: can be seen. Your example may be the only sermon
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: in air quotes that some people will ever witness. And then, finally, professionally,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: what is your next best move in this lesson study?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Identify one leadership decision today where you can lead with
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: both truth and grace. Use that moment to reflect God's
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: goodness in your leadership style. If the Lord spaar's life,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: we will see you in the morning where we're where
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: we'll actually study the lesson until then, Make it a
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: great day.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Pay 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,
