• 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 2: for today is there are many things we do not know.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I want to say it again in a different way.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: There are many things that we just don't know, like seriously, seriously,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: and some of those things we're arguing about, can you imagine. Yeah.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Before we get into that, I'd like to just say welcome, Welcome,
• 1:12

  Speaker 2: will get underway. Our Father and our God, we do
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: thank you for this new day and for giving us
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the privilege of coming into your presence. Please teach us
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: when we are in your presence to yield ourselves to you.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Teach us, Father, when we're in your presence, to listen
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: more than we speak. Help us to know your will
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and then do it in Jesus name. I pray, Amen
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and Amen again. So listen. I am I think unique
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: in some ways when I talk about job. Job. That
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: man that God said with his own words, his own mouth,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: he said, have you considered my servant job? There is
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: none like him. When the devil was was trying to
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: flex his spiritual muscles. He was with all of the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: bravado that he could muster. When God asked him in
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: a meeting. When God asked him in a meeting, where
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you where you're coming from? Where you're coming from? And
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: he's basically saying, as he said, I'm going, I'm coming
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: coming from going up and down and to and fro
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: in the earth. What he's trying to say is that
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I'm going wherever I want to go. This is what
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: he's saying, like with base in his voice, like in
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: his chest. He's going to God, wagging his head and
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: pointing his diabolical finger in the face of God, saying,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: because those humans that you have down there, that you
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: love so much are a big deal to you. I
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: just let you know I've defeated them. So I'm going
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: anywhere I want to go and doing anything I want
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: to do. And God is saying, I do understand that
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: every one of them has sinned at least one time.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I do understand. I'm very clear that Adam Adam jumped
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: into sin. I'm very clear that Eve was deceived. I
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: understand you deceived her. That's true, But have you considered
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: my servant Job. There's none like him in all the earth.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: And the Bible says that he Job learned to turn
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: his back on sin. He learned to switch off the
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: proverbial pipe or faucet that was flooding his life with sin.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Like the rest of the humans, he decided that today
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: is the day that I choose to serve Jesus. I
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: choose to serve God with everything that I have, everything
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: that I am. Just like we understand what the New
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Covenant does when God writes his laws in our hearts
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and on our minds. And even still, even still, when
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: God allowed the enemy to buffet Job. And it's an understatement,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I mean he dogged his heels. What a mess. Now,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the Bible teaches basically that Job kept his holiness. He
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: continued to walk with God. But in the meantime, though,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: even though he continued to walk with God, even though
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: you cannot point at a point where he turned his
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: back on God, even while he would struggling with the
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: discussion of like what is going on in my life?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Even while he was calling out and saying, I need
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: a daze man, I need somebody to speak to God
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: on my behalf, I need some help because I if
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I could think of a sin that I committed and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: did not repent of, if I could think of a
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: sin that I committed and did not confess, then I
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: would go right now and confess what is going on
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: in my life. And he had so many questions. And
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: these four knucklebucks, I call them foolish people are coming
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: into his life telling them all kind of sanctimonious stuff
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: that is rubbish full rubbish. Careful who you quote, by
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the way, when you're quoting some of this poetic stuff
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: that you read in the scriptures, sometimes it's from its
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: ill advised people giving bad advice. And it sounds so good,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: almost like some church board sometimes some committee meetings. It
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: sounds so good on the surface. But I digress. So
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying is is that these individuals were not
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: of any help to job, and in fact, they needed
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: him to become a day's man for them, like he
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: needed to offer sacrifice for them. This is what God
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: told them. But again I digress. But even with all
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: of his holiness hidden with God, he did ask some
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: questions that wait a minute, now you're a human, you
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: are covered in my righteousness but you're a human, so
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: be careful the stuff that you're talking about. And so
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: God checks him. God checks him. And what I'm going
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: to do is let faith comes by hearing audio Bible
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: read from chapter thirty eight of the Book of Job,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: beginning verse one.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Job, chapter thirty eight. Then the Lord answered Job out
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: of the whirlwind, and said, who is this? That darkness?
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Counseled by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: like a man, for I will demand of thee and
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: answer thou me where wast thou when I laid the
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding, who
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: hath laid the measures thereof? If thou knowest? Or who
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereupfastened?
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Or who laid the cornerstone thereof when the morning stars
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Or who shut up the sea with doors when it
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: break forth as if it had issued out of the womb.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: darkness a swaddling band for it, and break up for
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, and
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: said hitherto shalt thou come, but no further. And here
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: shall thy proud waves be stayed. Hast thou commanded the
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: morning since thy days, and cause the day spring to
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: know his place, that it might take hold of the
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: ends of the earth.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Wow. Can we just pause right here and say that
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: God was giving Job, the Holy Man of God, a
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: lesson about Job's humanity and God's sovereignty. God has everything
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: under control. And when we talk to God, we need
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: to be very clear who is the human and who
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: is the sovereign Almighty God. Bless it be his name.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: And so what I need you to do, brothers and sisters,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and me too. And by the way, go into the
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: community at your daily portion dot com. And if I
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: don't remember, please ask me to post these responses. But
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: there are some things that we need to keep in mind.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Number One, when things are not going the way that
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: we anticipate in life, we need to maintain a regular
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: prayer routine. I said routine, but it's prayer, it's connecting
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: with God. From first Thessalonians, chapter five, beginning of verse sixteen,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I wish I had the time to read, but I don't.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: And then we want to study the scriptures from the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Bible Book of Psalm chapter one nineteen, verse one oh five,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: keeping that in our in the forefront of our minds.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Number three, to seek fellowship and support among the believers
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: of God, and then to engage in our personal worship
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: with God in Psalms chapter thirty four and verse one.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: And then of course we ask God how to serve others. See,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: we need to be patient and practice according to the
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: holiness that God has put into our bosom. Like when
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: there are things that we don't know, then we should
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: yield more to the will of God and don't question him. 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 3: Yeah,
