  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,

  Speaker 1: author speaker Elle David Harris.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning, it is Wednesday. It's
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: June four, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

• 0:54
  Speaker 2: our caption for today is the Judge of all the Earth,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: The Judge of all the Earth. Before we get into that,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I'd like to just say welcome to you and ask
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
• 1:08

  Speaker 2: your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of the
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: go ahead and pray and then we will get underway. Father,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: We thank you, Thank you for waking us up this morning,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and thank you for being the judge of the world.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Nobody else is worthy, nobody else is trustworthy. In Jesus' name,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and Amen again. I just want to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: go ahead and jump in right here and say that
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I am grateful that God is the judge of the earth.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: You are the judge of the earth, God, and I
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: thank you because the people that are entrusted with this
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: response ability are not always are not always thinking like you. Now,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: let me not overstate this because I don't want people
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: to misunderstand me. I believe in the criminal justice system.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I believe in the system that governs our lands, yes,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: because God has promised that he would preside over them.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: But I do realize that there is sometimes in justice
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: that happens, and so I'm not going to hide my
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: face from it because I respect the system, you know
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: what I mean. So I'm not trying to be disrespectful
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to the judge's magistrates, etc. I'm just saying that there
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: are people who pervert justice, whether in the system or
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: outside of the system in our larger society. But I
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: am glad that God is judge because he always one
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: hundred percent of the time he gets it right. One
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: hundred percent of the time, God gets it right. And
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: so now we go to the Bible Book of Genesis
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and chapter eighteen, beginning at verse seventeen. And I told
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: you yesterday that would I would broach this, But I
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: really should have said to you, I would broach it today.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: And so the Bible reads and the Lord said, shall
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I hide from Abraham that thing which I do, seeing
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: And so the lesson here is that God invites his
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: people to understand his ways. He does not act rashly
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: or in secret. His judgment is rooted in righteousness and relationship.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I know that there are some mystery, some secrets that
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: belong to God, but these things that He has revealed
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: are for our learning. And so I'm not saying he
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: gives us all of the details and the what does
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: not definitely does not ask our permission. But he does
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: not reveal the Bibles. He does not do, excuse me,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: anything important, except he first reveal it unto his servants,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the prophets. And so God's judgment is not a secret,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: it is not behind closed doors. At some point in
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the future, God's people, according to the Book of Revelation
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: chapter twenty, will actually be able to look over the books,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the books with the sins still recorded by the names
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: of the individuals who rejected love, who rejected relationship with God,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: who decided they wanted to rub out and erase their
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: names from the Lamb's Book of Life they did not
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: want to be in relationship with God. God is going
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to give his people the ability to look over those books,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and ultimately we will see that God is just. We
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: know that He's just, but we will see it in
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: excruciating detail. I don't know if that's the right way
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: to describe it, but that is what came to my
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: mind right there. And so what we need to do
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: is remain close to God. It's our privilege to remain
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: close to God through prayer and studying his word, hearing
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: his voice on a regular and consistent basis. Ask Him
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: to make you trustworthy. Just like I just said, God
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: is trustworthy. That's why I like the fact that he
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: is the judge yes, with his purposes and his perspective.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: In verses twenty three and twenty four, the Bible reads,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and Abraham drew near and said, wilt thou also destroy
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the righteous with the wicked peradventure. There are fifty righteous
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: within the city, and so God is willing to spare
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the cities. God is willing to spare the situations if
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: you are there God's people, if you are present in situations,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: not talking about present to do evil. I'm saying, present
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: in situation sUAS in your city, your town, your village,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: in your hamlet, at your job, in other situations, until
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: God says to remove yourself like he did with Abraham
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: and Lots and their families. What I'm saying is, you
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: are the salt of the earth. You preserve what's around you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: You are the light of the world. Do you expose
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the light to the dark places so that people can
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: see when they are turning their backs away, turning their
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: part of me backs on God? And so Abraham began
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to bargain with God, and really he was mediating, Like God,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Now now I know that you're just if there be fifty,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: and then he goes down through the numbers. He goes
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: down through the numbers. I'm not trying to be critical
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: of Abraham, but I'm like, what if he had said,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: what if there are just two people in Sodom and
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Gomorrah that are your people? Would you preserve the place
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you already had? God on a roll, he was already
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: saying yes every time he asks for the number. And
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I guess we'll never know except we ask God when
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: we get into the kingdom. And so the lesson for
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: me is and the lesson for you is. God's heart
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: longs to show mercy. He longs to show mercy even
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: when he is judging. He looks for every reason to
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: spare lives. So what does that mean for me that
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I should be an intercessor? When I'm praying, I should
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: be an intercessor. I should be going to God and saying, God,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Now there are some people that need you. There are
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: some people who have a habit of turning their backs
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: on you. Please, will you spare them? My family, my coworkers,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: that individual that's driving the taxi, that person who's driving
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the bus, that guy who's losing his line in a
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: line at the tax office, the person who is at
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the embassy who seems not to know God because they're
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: behaving in a way that does not represent God. That
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: mother who feels desperate, that son who feels like he
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: has to run away from home because he does not
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: like law and order. He's not escaping abuse, he's not
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: escaping something bad. He just doesn't want to be taught.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: He's uncoachable in this moment, God, would you please, would
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: you please please spare these people and let them know
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: how much you love them. Would you spare them so
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: that they can be a living testimony. And of course
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: there is so much more I could say, But in
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Ezekiel chapter thirty three, we see the heart of God
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: verse eleven. As I live set the Lord God, I
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: have no pleasure in the death of the wicked. I
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: have no pleasure in the death of the wicked. You see.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: And so I'm circling back with just a couple of
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: lessons because we are nearly out of time, just over
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: a minute left. Let me go to a later a lesson,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: a later lesson God value use intercession for the lost.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I've already said that to you, but I wanted to
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: reiterate it, and let's go into the Bible Book of
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Revelation for a lesson. Well, really, we don't have that time.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Let me just say God's final judgments are tied to
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: his mercy as we see some things going on in
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: our earth. When God is saying, come out of her
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: God is about to judge, He is about to deal
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: with the harlet of revelation, but he's saying, before I
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: do that, come out of her my people. So you
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: don't have to partake in that because no condemnation comes to.
• 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,
