• 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 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,

  Speaker 2: study series uniting Heaven and Earth, Christ and Philippians and Colossians,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: and our caption for today is the Wisdom and Knowledge
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: of God, the wisdom and Knowledge of God. Before we
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: get into that, I'd like to just say welcome to
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: everyone joining us, especially those joining us for the very
• 1:12

  Speaker 2: I'd like to open up an opportunity if you want
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to witness to people you love who are likely going
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: to church today. At some point, I want you to
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: please share. Share our program that comes on at eight
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: am on Sundays exclusively on the YouTube channel. It's not
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: on the radio or on Facebook channels anywhere, not on
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: a podcast, only on our YouTube channel at your Daily Portion,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: and that will help you to do what it is
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: that God wants us all to do to be able
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to continue to enjoy fellowship and learn more and more
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: about what God is teaching us in his words. So
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: please do that. Let's pray. Let's pray. Father, we do.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Thank you for the privilege to open your word again.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Please help us to accept your wisdom and your knowledge
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: in Jesus' name. I pray, Amen and Amen again. I
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: don't know if I've ever shared it with you, but
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I am obsessed by wisdom. God's wisdom. I'm saying not
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: because I want to feel intelligent, but there is just
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: something about it, because God sends people to me with
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: various and sundry challenges, all kinds of challenges that are
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: not even related. And I'm like, well, since God has
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: seen fit to continue to send people to me like this,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: then it mean that he wants to speak, and so
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I can't do it on my own. God, show me
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: your wisdom. I need double. That's what I pray to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: God for. Maybe that's not your testimony, but I pray
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to God for double the wisdom that he gave to Solomon.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: That's what I pray for. And so for me, this
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: is very very key. And so let me just read
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: now very quickly from reviewing Herald eighteen seventy four. Order
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: is Heaven's first law, and where God's truth is truly received,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it will always lead to harmony, stability, and strength. My God,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: My God. From the book Testimonies for the Church, Volume five,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: page five hundred and seventy four, we read the truths
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: of God's word are not independent atoms, but they are united,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: forming one grand whole or entire picture. I'm grateful because
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: we use the scriptures. We see in the scriptures a
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: golden thread, and we use scripture to interpret scripture. We
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: don't need somebody to write us a book about how
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to interpret scriptures. We don't need somebody to give us
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the code to a secret that's in the scriptures that
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: they can only you're there the only ones qualified to
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: give us. No. We use scripture to interpret the scriptures.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And so our first lesson for today is coming in
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: from Colossians chapter two and verse three. Colossians chapter two
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and verse three, in whom speaking of God are hid
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. You see what
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the devil did to Eve at the tree of the
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: knowledge of good and evil. He insinuated doubt, and then
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: he just into believing that there was a tree desire
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to be to make one wise when God said, don't
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: eat from this tree. But she saw that it was
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: good for food, and it was a tree to be
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: desired to make one wise. And it's like, why would
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you see something that God forbade as a way to
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: receive wisdom. There are people right now who were going
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: to some dark arts in order to get wisdom, that
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: going into some secret places with secret handshakes and all
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: kinds of weird stuff that you're like, what, why do
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I need that in order to learn wisdom like people
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: who were going to people who look or were having
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: cards and crystal balls and all kinds of other stuff,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: looking in your hands and looking into the sky for stuff,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: rather than simply trusting what God said in him are
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge? And so
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Paul answers Job's ancient question directly. Wisdom is not discovered
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: through philosophy, speculation, religious systems, or even going to wizards
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: that peep and mutter ought. Not a people seek unto
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: their God from the dead, unto the living. This is
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: what the Bible writer Isaiah said. And so wisdom is
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: a person. A wisdom is a person. Did you know that?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: In One Corinthians chapter one, verses thirty and thirty one,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: we see Jesus is our wisdom. If you study closely
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the Book of Proverbs chapter eight, there comes a point
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: when wisdom is described in a way that you're like, oh,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: my goodness, there is no other being that this could
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: apply to. When Christ is present, nothing essential is missing.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Every attempt to locate wisdom outside of Him results in
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the opposite results in babylon or confusion results in deception
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: and so ask yourself today. This is the action step.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Ask yourself today, where you instinctively go for clarity, where
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: you're not even thinking about it. Where do you find
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: yourself going? Is it chat gpt uh? Oh? Is it Gemini?
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Is it Claude? Is it some other ai app Are
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you going there for wisdom? Those are supposed to help us.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: We're not supposed to just take what they do their
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: assistance to help us ID eight and do some other stuff.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to put rules on it. I'm just
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: saying sometimes we take what the machine gives us and
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: spit it right back out, and it's like, but God
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: gave us dominion, We're not supposed to have that as
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: if it's more intelligent than us. We have actual intelligence.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: That thing can slow can help us with our speed
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: because we're slower, but it can't be more intelligent than
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the human beings God created? And so where do you
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: instinctively go for clarity? Now? I want you to deliberately
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: bring that question to Christ in scripture and prayer before
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: seeking any other source. You are befuddled, you're confused, you
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: need extra understanding. Don't go to your pastor first. No
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: disrespect like don't go to Bible teachers like me. First,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: don't go to the your trusted whomever. First. I want
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: you to bow your head and in humility say God,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I do not know how to deal with this. I
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: do not know what to do. Will you please please
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: deliver me? Will you please please give me wisdom that
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: can only come from you. Number two comes in from
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Collossians chapter two and verse two. That their hearts may
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: be encouraged having been knit together in love and attaining
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: to all riches of the fullness of assurance and understanding.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: So God's truth produces unity and strength in his church.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Paul's goal is not merely to correct Bible
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: teaching our doctrine, but strengthen the hearts and to unite believers.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Truth does not divide faithful people. Truth anchors them together.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: When Christ's centered teaching is received by all, then love
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: deepens and confidence grows. Yeah. So are you looking for
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: wisdom to separate yourself as some kind of icon or
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: sage or do you want the wisdom of God so
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: that you can contribute to the entirety of His people?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Make it a great day.
• 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,
