07 02 2025 Moses is Born · 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 2: Vibrant lives.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Elle David Harris.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It's Wednesday, July two,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
• 0:39
  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, and
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: study series Exodus from or the Journey to the Promised Land.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get it right, Exodus Journey to the
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Promised Land, and we are under the caption Moses is Born,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Moses is Born. Before we get into that, I'd like
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: to say welcome to everyone joining us, especially those joining
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: for the very first time. Please go over to your

  Speaker 2: that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: ahead and pray. Father, we thank you for the fact
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: that Jesus Christ was born unto a woman in this
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: earth in order to save us. Thank You for the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: story of Moses and the deliverance that came to your
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: people because of him. Help us to model the character
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the good parts in Jesus name. I pray Amen and
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Damen again. Why were you born? For what purpose were
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: you born? I think the Bible says when God is
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: speaking of Jeremiah that before he formed Jeremiah in his
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: mother's womb, God knew him well that he would be
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: a prophet unto the nations. Why were you born? Have
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you ever talked to God about that?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: God, what is my purpose? Why am I here? What
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: am I to do? How can I glorify you? Yeah?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: This is a good place to start for all of us.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe today is the day, like July two, this is
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: your day for the first time to ask God, why
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: are you here? Okay, okay, that was new for some
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: of you. Let me read a couple of things from
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the lesson study, and then we'll get some special lessons
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and application in a moment here. So, though under a
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: death sentence at birth, as in Exodus one and verse
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: twenty two, as soon as this boy is about to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: be born, he's under a death sentence. Moses was born
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: as a quote special son or literally good like tolb
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: told good, okay, God's work during Creation week, when he
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: declared everything was good, even very good, should be an
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: indicator of your life. Can I just say that again? So?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: The Bible says that Moses was a special son, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: it literally means in Hebrew good. When God created the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: heavens and the earth, when God created the seas and
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: all that in them, is when God did all of that,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: he blessed all of that. The Bible says that he
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: said it was good, good, very good. So when you
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: ask God like why you're here, why did He create you?
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Then you should be on the lookout for the good, good,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: very good? Why am I here? His name is thus
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: rendered in Hebrew as most well. I'm not going to
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: try to pronounce it, but it means Moses namely drawn out.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I think the people of God the Church of God
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: is the called out. Once Ecclesia called out, so Moses
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: was drawn out, you are called out. His life was
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: miraculously spared when he was drawn out of the river.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Now let's get some lessons really quickly. The first one
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I'd like to share with you comes in from the
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Bible Book of Exodus, chapter two and verse six. Exodus
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: chapter two and verse six, and the Bible reads and
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: when she had opened it, meaning where Moses was being
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: held right to protect him from what was going on,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: she saw the child, and behold the babe wept and
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: guess what she had compassion on him. She had compassion
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: on him. You see, God's providence is at work even
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: in oppressive systems. You see the woman, she didn't inadvertently
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: find the sun even though there was a death decree,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and whatever was about to happen if he lived would
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: have been illegal. But under a death decree he was born.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: But God preserved Moses right in Pharaoh's own house. Can
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: you imagine, the one who put the decree out has
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: one of the children that are supposed to be destroyed
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: because of what he said. Now, God's hands shielded him
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: through the most unlikely channel. Are you on the lookout
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: for how God is going to deliver you? Are you
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: on the lookout for how God is going to be
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: with you through your trial, through your tribulation. I want
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you to make it a habit to be amazed by
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: God but not surprised. How in the world could God
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: have delivered Moses right up under Pharaoh's nose in his
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: own household. Well that's not my business, but I can
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: say that today when I'm facing hostile environments, I'm speaking
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: to you too. Trust that God can still place you
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: exactly where you need to be. Pray for the clarity
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: to recognize His hand even in strange places, right up
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: under Pharaoh's nose. If you ever thought of that, that's amazing. Yeah,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I'm amazed by God, but not surprised. The other lesson.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Our next lesson comes from Exodus, chapter two and verse two.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: She saw him that he was a goodly child, or
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: a healthy child. I already said a little bit about that,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: But in this case, God sees value in you before
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: others recognize your purpose. She saw that he was a
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: goodly child, She saw that he was special. But did
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: she know that she was about to be the deliverer
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: that God would use along with Aaron for the people
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: of God. M did she know that he would have
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: been a standard of holiness that we will be talking
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: about in July of twenty twenty five. Of course not right.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: God already had a plan before Moses could even speak.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: When you see those children walking around or running around,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: even some of the children that you would consider to
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: be bad children in air quotes, I don't have the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: time to deal with that concept. But all of these children,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: have you considered that maybe God already has a plan
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: for them and that what He is planning to do
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: through them is miraculous? What are you going to do
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: to support it? What if you were one of the midwives,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: what if you were Pharaoh's daughter? Like, what would you
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: do to support it? Ohm? So here is the action
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: for me, except that your value does not depend on
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: who sees your potential. Now, ask God to shape you
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: into the purpose that He is placed within you before birth,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: before birth. From Exodus chapter two, verses seven and eight,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the Bible reads then said his sister, meaning Moses's sister
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: to Pharaoh's daughter, shall I go and call the a nurse?
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: The story the plot thickens like not only is he
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: being raised in Pharaoh's house. Not only did the med
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: midwife say, no, we are not about to kill these babies.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Not only that, but even one of the ones that
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: was supposed to be destroyed, who's being raised in Pharaoh's house,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: is being raised by his own mother. I can you
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: imagine his own mother. And so God places the right
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: people around you for the purpose. Are you one of
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: the right people that God is placing around someone else?
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Are you too, identify people around you that God has
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: placed in your life for a purpose. For from his
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: mother's wisdom to Pharaoh's daughter's compassion and Miriam's courage, Moses's
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: survival was a team effort led by God. And it
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: must not be lost upon us that this is a
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: team full of women, women who are being led by
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: God in the most unlikely of situations. And so today
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I need to identify the people that God has placed
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: in my life for my growth and protection and thank
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: God for them. And if you get a moment, please
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: thank them, partner with them in faith. And then our final,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: our final. With a couple of moments that we have left,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: God can use even elite training to prepare you and
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: then retrain you for his glory. Moses received the best
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: education at Egypt could offer, and yet God would later
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: reshape his identity through forty years in the wilderness. Very interesting. Yeah,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: why were you born? Ask God 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.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
