02 11 2024 His Mercy Endures Forever · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much because yesterday's food
• 0:06
  is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do some
• 0:10
  of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all
• 0:20
  of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need to
• 0:25
  live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  author speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, Good morning, Good morning.
• 0:34
  It is Sunday, February eleven, twenty twenty four. Hello, my
• 0:39
  name is El David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
• 0:42
  Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day, and today is
• 0:46
  no exception. We are continuing in our lesson study series through the Book of
• 0:50
  Psalms, and our caption for today is His Mercy Endures Forever. Oh,
• 0:57
  how many of you know that God's mercy is ever lasting even in your life?
• 1:02
  Yes, Scott is very good, and we'll talk about that in just
• 1:06
  a moment, but before I do, I'd like to say welcome to you
• 1:08
  and ask you to please go over to your Daily Portion. Dot com.
• 1:11
  Please join our online community, pick up the Your Daily Portion book, and
• 1:17
  also let us know where you are in the world at your Daily Portion dot
• 1:21
  com. This is one of the ways that we continue to build faith and
• 1:26
  fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.
• 1:30
  Bother in heaven. Thank you for this day and for giving us a new
• 1:34
  week, a new week to work, a workweek for you, a work
• 1:38
  week to enhance our families and the Kingdom of Heaven. All at the same
• 1:44
  time. I pray that you will give us understanding and teach us about mercy
• 1:49
  today, your mercy and teach us to be mercyfull in Jesus' name. I
• 1:53
  pray Amen and Amen again. Yeah, so Jesus said to his disciples in
• 2:00
  another context, freely you have received, freely give, and we could apply
• 2:07
  this broad stroke. Whatever blessings God has given to you, you can see
• 2:13
  that as an opportunity to reciprocate by giving to others. If God gives you
• 2:20
  energy, then you lend some of your energy to others. If God gives
• 2:23
  you intellect and emotional intelligence, then you lend some of that to them.
• 2:30
  Right. If God has been merciful to you, let's just cut to the
• 2:32
  chase. If God has been merciful to you, then you should be merciful
• 2:38
  to others. And that is the reality for all of us. Right.
• 2:42
  And so Jesus said, blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
• 2:47
  So this is a great, big circle. God gives, we receive,
• 2:52
  we give to someone else. Okay. And so in the Book of
• 2:54
  Psalms, chapter one hundred and thirty six, one of my favorite chapters.
• 3:00
  There are a couple that are very similar, but let me get to it.
• 3:05
  Psalm chapter one hundred and thirty six, we see God's mercy prevalent.
• 3:10
  Okay, and so let's go ahead and read. And it's so it's rhythmic,
• 3:15
  it gets down into your core, and if you accept this then it
• 3:19
  can change your life forever. And so we begin with verse one, Oh,
• 3:22
  give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good for his mercy endureth
• 3:27
  forever. And so we see two principle, or more than two, really
• 3:30
  three One the fact that we can, will and must if we are God's
• 3:36
  children, give thanks to God. He's He's good. That's the second principle.
• 3:42
  He's good just on the strength of him. Being who he is like
• 3:45
  his innate nature means that he is good. He is righteous in all of
• 3:49
  his ways, and there is nothing but goodness in him, and his mercy
• 3:54
  endures forever. This also means that he is eternal. So to your generations
• 4:01
  before you, fifteen twenty thirty generations before you, all the way back to
• 4:06
  the first generation of those who are in your bloodline, God has been merciful.
• 4:12
  And until Jesus comes, all the way until then whenever, that is,
• 4:15
  if it's next year, next month, tomorrow, whenever Jesus comes,
• 4:19
  his mercy will have endured until then. Oh and by the way, those
• 4:25
  who enter into eternity with God right after Jesus comes, and then the thousand
• 4:30
  years are finished, and then we come and inherit this new earth, and
• 4:36
  we continue throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity, then his mercy will have endured
• 4:43
  all throughout those eons, that eternal time. And so we see that his
• 4:47
  mercy endureth forever. And I'll say that like one hundred more times before we're
• 4:50
  done. Verse two. Oh, give thanks unto the God of Gods for
• 4:55
  his mercy endureth forever. We know that there are no humans that are legitimately
• 5:00
  gods. Right, But he has entrusted God, entrusted power and authority and
• 5:08
  leadership into the bosom and care of people. And we've talked about that before.
• 5:13
  But he is the God of gods. These powerful people with influence answer
• 5:17
  to the Creator. He's the God of gods. Yes, his mercy endures
• 5:24
  forever. Oh give thanks verse three, unto the Lord of Lords, for
• 5:28
  his mercy endureth forever. To him who alone doeth great wonders. How for
• 5:33
  his mercy endureth forever. If you're not getting the theme now, I don't
• 5:38
  know what it will take, but let me just say here, he do
• 5:41
  with great wonders. Have you ever seen wonders done in your life? I
• 5:45
  think there is a song that said, would you be free from the burden
• 5:48
  of sin? There's power in the blood? Power in the blood? Would
• 5:53
  you or evil a victory to win? There's wonder, working power in the
• 5:58
  blood. I think it's said here, who do with wonders? There's power,
• 6:01
  hallelujah, power, wonder, working power in the blood of the lamb.
• 6:05
  There is power, power, wonder, working power in the precious blood
• 6:11
  of the lamb. And that is besides the creative power of God, where
• 6:15
  he unfurls his brightness, his effulgent brightness, upon the expanse of the darkness.
• 6:21
  And then he begins to create planets and galaxies and solar systems and other
• 6:28
  things that we are not even privy to at. As yet, his mercy
• 6:31
  endureth forever. As you can tell, this is a great passage verse five,
• 6:35
  to him that by wisdom made the heavens, for his mercy endureth forever.
• 6:42
  And if you study in the Book of Proverbs chapter eight, if you
• 6:46
  study in the Book of First Corinthians chapter one, the closing passages, you
• 6:51
  will see that wisdom is indeed Jesus Christ himself. So for anyone who lacks
• 6:58
  wisdom, and we ask of God, and God gives liberally and upbraideth not.
• 7:02
  He's literally giving Jesus Christ into our lives, who by wisdom made the
• 7:09
  heavens. Oh, you didn't know Jesus made the heavens and the earth.
• 7:13
  Huh did you not know that? Yes? In John chapter one, Hebrews
• 7:16
  chapter one, and in other places we see very clearly that Jesus Christ is
• 7:20
  the creator of the heavens and the earth. So by wisdom God, our
• 7:26
  Father, created the heavens his mercy endureth forever to him that stretched out the
• 7:31
  earth above the waters for his mercy endureth forever, to him that made the
• 7:36
  great lights, I would say, on the fourth day, even though he
• 7:41
  again unfurled his effulgent brightness upon the expanse of the deep and the darkness on
• 7:46
  day one, he revealed himself as the light yes on day one. On
• 7:50
  day four he created the great lights, the moon and the stars verse nine,
• 7:57
  to rule the night for his mercy in earth forever. To him that
• 8:01
  smokee Egypt and their first born for his mercy and dureth forever. God destroyed
• 8:07
  what, however was was in the way, as God's people were faithful,
• 8:11
  and the people would not repent who were in the way of God's movements.
• 8:18
  Well, that's what happened in the Red Sea Verse eleven. And brought Israel
• 8:22
  from among them for his mercy endureth forever, with a strong hand and with
• 8:28
  a stretched out arm, for his mercy endureth forever to him that divided the
• 8:33
  Red Sea into parts for his mercy endureth forever, and made Israel to pass
• 8:39
  through the midst of it. For his mercy endureth forever. But overthrew Pharaoh
• 8:46
  and his hosts in the Red Sea for his mercy endureth forever. And then
• 8:50
  we go on and on how God overcame all of those kings that separated or
• 8:58
  attempted to separate God's peace people from the promise that he had made to their
• 9:03
  forefather Abraham verse twenty one, and gave their land foreign heritage for his mercy
• 9:09
  endureth forever, Who remembered his who remembered us in our low estate verse twenty
• 9:15
  three, for his mercy endureth forever, and hath redeemed us from our enemies
• 9:20
  for his mercy endureth forever. Who giveth food to all flesh for his mercy
• 9:28
  endureth forever. In verse twenty six, here it is, Oh, give
• 9:31
  thanks unto the God of Heaven for his mercy endureth forever. I think that
• 9:37
  God has been so good, How good Dave so good that He's given us
• 9:41
  his mercy and that mercy endures forever. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends,
• 9:46
  Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
• 9:50
  comes from the mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with el
• 9:54
  David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
