• 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 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: author speaker Elle David Harris.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning, it is Tuesday. It's
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: May twenty twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: day and today is no exception. We are continuing in
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: our lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: our caption for today is Law in Our Hearts. Law
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: in our Hearts. Will get into that in just a moment,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: but first I'd like to say welcome to you and
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Please join our online community, pick up the Your Daily
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Portion Life application guide, and also let us know where
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: you are in the world at your Daily Portion dot com.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: This is one of the ways that we continue to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray. Father,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: we thank you for this day, thank you for writing
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: your laws in our hearts and on our minds. Please
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: help us to live like that and not give that
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: crue reality back to you. In Jesus' name, I pray
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Amen and Amen again. Sometimes people have buyers remorse. Buyer's
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: remorse that means that we purchase something and then regret
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that we purchased it. Sometimes, even in relationship with God,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: people get to the point where they wish they were
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: no longer in relationlationship with Him, And you're like, how
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: is this possible? Why would anybody not want to continue
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to be in relationship with God? Well, that is a
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: great question. Yeah, Sometimes people recognize there's responsibility. There's responsibility
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: that comes with people loving God. With connection with God.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: There are ways that we will choose not to speak
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: to people when they have disrespected us. I said, when
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: they have disrespected us. There are ways that we will
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: not mistreat people when they have mistreated us. You see.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: And so what God is giving us in this law
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: in our heart's principle is the impetus, the power, the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: driver behind real holiness. It's not about our own abilities,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: but it is him keeping his promise that those who
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: love him, He will keep his commandments through our lives,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: so that we live the name that is in the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: foreheads of the people of God. You see. And so
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I'm grateful that when Moses in the Old Testament he said, I,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: if you will not go with us, God, show me
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: your glory. That he understood that to have God show
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: him his glory meant also that God would show his
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: glory through Moses. When you ask God to reveal himself
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: to you, now you're accepting the responsibility to be a
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: revelation of His will to the people who see you.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, let your light so shine before other humans,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: so that when they see you, they see your good works,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: they'll glorify our Father, which is in heaven. So when
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Moses came off of the mount, we'll talk about it
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: a little bit more in a moment. When he came
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: down off of the mount with God, and the Bible
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: says that he was so bright, his countenance was so
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: dazzling and bright that the people of God said, put
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: on a veil because they were. They didn't believe as
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: they should have put on a veil. Your face is
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: too bright. It was just too glorious. Cover that up, Moses.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: So Moses was in the presence of God to the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: degree that it wasn't that God just simply showed him,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: which would have been amazing his glory. But God was
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: now showing through him his glory. And so let me
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: give you these really quickly, and then we'll we'll move
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: on Step one. Moses asked God to see his glory,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: to see his glory. Moses didn't want signs and wonders.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: He wanted to see in reality who God was. Are
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: you asking God for things? Are you asking him for money?
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Are you asking him for understanding? Are you understand asking
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: him for power? Are you asking him for comfort or
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: a deeper view of his heart? What are you asking
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: God for? Moses asks for his glory because he wanted
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to experience the reality of God. And then, of course
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: step two, God actually revealed his name and his character.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Moses asks for his glory, and God revealed his name,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the Lord, Lord, God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, abundant
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: in goodness and truth. In chapter thirty four of Exodus,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Verses six and seven. And so God's glory is power, Yes,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: his power. But his power and his character are one
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and the same. But sometimes we separate the two. We
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: make it seem as if God thunders from the heavens
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and his character doesn't come with him. You see, if
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: God is giving you power, Oh wait, I think there's
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: something in the New Testament about this. In fact, in
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the Old Two when God gives you power, that's grace.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: God gives you grace. That means He's giving you power
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to do his will. When you live by grace through faith,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: faith is the vehicle through which the power of God
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: is transfered into your life. You are now transformed. Shout
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: to the electricians in the room transformer, transformer, there is
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: some power in those transformers. You are transformed into the
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: image of God. So when he gives you his glory,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: he gives you his grace. The reality is He's transforming
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: you into his actual likeness. So God's glory is about
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: his character and power both together. And when God proclaims
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: his name, he reveals how He's going to treat us.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: He reveals how we can live in this world in
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: his name, representing his character. Okay, and so number three,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Also remembering God's name leads into obedience. Yes, I thank God.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: He writes his laws in our hearts. He keeps his
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: promise that if we love him, he will keep his
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: commandments through our lives. And so now remembering God's name
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: leads us to obedience. In Psalms, chapter one hundred and
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: nineteen and verse fifty five, the Bible reads, I have
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night, and have
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: kept oh wait a minute, thy law. So remembering God's
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: name is also to keep his law. So if I
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: am no longer doing what God says, if I am
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: no longer avoiding the things God would have me to avoid,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: if I'm no longer treating people in the way that
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: He treated us with love, then that means I have
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: forgotten his name. That means that I have gotten a rubber,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: as we would say here in Jamaica, I've gotten an
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: eraser and taken off and effaced and destroyed the name
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: of God that was supposed to be in my forehead.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Can you get that imagery? Can you imagine God has
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: inscribed his own name, his his will in your forehead,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and then somehow you're trying to remove it. Come on,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: this is not what God intended when he said that
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: he was going to write his name in our foreheads.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Thankfully in the Bible, that doesn't make it possible, Like
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: we don't take the name of God out of our foreheads.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: These are people who have fully and finally decided to
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: walk with God. But I want you to remember God's
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: name is to hold fast to who he is, especially
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: in those dark times, those times of trial and difficulty,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and to live in harmony with Him according to his will.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: This is what I want you to do with this
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: though in your hardest moments, remember remember who God is.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Let his character keep you anchored in His word, in
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: his words so much I could and maybe should have said,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: but so little time. Let me see if I can
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: just read a couple of passages here as I let
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: you go. The Bible says in Exodus, chapter thirty three
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: and verse nineteen, I will make all my goodness pass
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Lord before thee. This is what God told Moses as
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: he was fulfilling what Moses desired. God promised to show
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: his goodness and to proclaim his name is your life
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: a reflection of God's goodness? Is your life a reflection
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: of God's name? Masking myself the same? And with the
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: power of the Holy Ghost, we can say yes peace.
• 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.
