• 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: September sixteen, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is Elle
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: and today is no exception. We are continuing in our
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: lesson study series through the Book of Exodus under the
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: caption and don't be confused. I know we use it
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the other day. Please show me your glory. We're going
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to look at it more mostly today. Please show me
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: your glory. Before we get into that, I'd like to
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: just say welcome to you and ask you to go
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: over to your Daily Portion dot com if you've not
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: already done so, please join our online community, pick up
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: your Daily Portion life application guide and let us know
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: where you are in the world at your Daily Portion
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: dot com. This is one of the ways that we
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: pray and then get under way. Father, thank you for
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: being willing to reveal yourself to us and through us.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. Straight
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: out of the lesson, after the Golden Calf apostasy, Moses
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: interceded for God's people and wanted to be assured that
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the Lord would continue leading them to the Promised Land.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Deep down within his being, he also wanted to know
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the Lord better. Do you want to know God better?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Do you want to know Him like we spoke about
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: this the other day, to know God?
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Do you really want to know God better? And then
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: as you know and learn to love Him more, are
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: you willing to be transformed by God? As you get
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: to know Him and are transformed by God? Are you
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: willing to represent God in your space? Good question. It's
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a time of reflection, and so we go in to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: this lesson straight at the beginning, at the beginning, at
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the beginning, and the Bible reads here. The Bible reads here.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: And he said, I beseech THEE show me thy glory.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: And he said, I will make all my goodness passed
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: before THEE, and it came to pass, while my shall
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: come to pass, while my glory passeth by. That I
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: will put THEE in the cliff of the rock, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I will cover THEE with my hand, and eye will
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: pass by. And again this comes on the heels of
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the Great Apostasy, when Aaron is making excuses and God's
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: people are looking to break the law again by having
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: other gods before God. And so the purpose of the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: request was not just for Moses to see God like
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: what would be the purpose of that in Moses's mind
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: in his physical form, but to know his inner reality,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: his nature, his character, his presence and covenant faithfulness. Moses
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: wanted to know that God was with him every step
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: of the way. And so now we go to the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: term for glory. Norman, I'm calling your name again, Norman,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: are you listening.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Ha.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: The glory term there literally means weight or substance. Like
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: when Moses is asking for God to reveal his glory
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to him, he's asking for the weight uh and the
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: substance of God. He wants to be certain that as
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: clear as you're hearing my voice right now, or if
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: you're not able to hear, you're seeing the closed caption
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: for the hearing impaired, and you're able to sense when
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: someone is in the room with you and they're speaking
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: to you, and you can reach out and grasp their hand,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: when you are in the vehicle with somebody and the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: vehicle's but so big. I'm talking about your little car,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: and you know your husband, your wife, your children are
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: in the vehicle. That plus more, God is manifesting the Kahbad,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the khbad, the glory, the weight, the substance of himself
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: in a way that Moses could actually experience in this
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: context that refers to the fullness and reality of God's being.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: A I'm sure that God is with you. Do you
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: have the reality of the substance of God in your life?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about right now, we're about five minutes into
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: our broadcast this morning. Are you sure in this moment
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: that God is with you? And if not, begin to
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: praise him. Begin to praise him because God said that
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: he inhabits the praises of his people. Jermaine I'm asking you,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and you know I'm talking to you, brother, like you
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Jermaine A. I'm talking to you. Yeah, yeah, Begin to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: praise him right now. Praise him like you don't. Got
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: no sense like you have, you have no barriers, no
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: filters in the way, because he said that he inhabits
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the praises of his people, and you will experience the glory,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: not just the brilliance, not just the brilliance of his
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: effulgent brightness, but of his moral perfection. And then he
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: said that his goodness would pass before Moses, and indeed
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: did this goodness from the term that is there in
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Hebrew means moral excellence and generosity. This is what God
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: says will pass before Moses, revealing that his glory is
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: tied to his goodness and his grace. They go together.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: His glory is tied to his goodness and his grace.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: You see, you don't get to just be in God's
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: presence and then live like the devil after you've been
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: in God's presence. I hope you're listening to me this morning.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: We don't get to just hang out in the space
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: we call the presence and do any little foolish and
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: evil thing that we decide to do. How many times
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: do people appear before the presence of God and even
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: say or faign that they are representing God as ministers
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: in worship, whether they're singing or somehow using instruments or speaking,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: or teaching or serving in some way. And we don't
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: represent his goodness, we don't represent his grace. In that case,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: we don't represent the glory. I'm promising you that this
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: is not a joke thing. Yes, we appear before the
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: presence of God, so that now the weight, the substance
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: of who God is goes with you. Take the name
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: of Jesus with you. I heard the hymn writer pen
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: and so from the book Acts of the Apostles, page
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: five hundred and thirty, we read, it is the glory
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: of God to give his virtue to his children. That's power,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that's his moral excellence. He desires to see men and
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: women reaching the highest standard. In the book Christ's object
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Lessons page four hundred and fifteen, we read, his glory
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: is his character. And so God's response to Moses shows
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: that true divine glory is moral, but it's also relational.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: It's all about relationship. It's not just about visual splendor.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: It's not just something from which we shield our eyes
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: and say that the Son Blessed be his name of
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: righteousness is in this place, and we bow our heads.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Because sometimes people bow their heads and then peque with
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: one eye, and they're not really bowing. They're just wanting
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: to see who will see them, who is going to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: see their false worship, and expect that somehow that is
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: going to magnify their own name. Look at how he's bowing,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: look at how she is bowing. The light and the
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: majesty are real, but they are expressions of his goodness,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: his mercy, and his justice. When God reveals his glory,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: he wants to reveal it to you, yes, But more
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: than that, he wants to reveal it through you, to
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: where you become the revelation of Jesus Christ. I know
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: what I just said. I said to where you become
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the revelation of Jesus Christ. The Bible says that God
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: wants you to let your light so shine before humankind
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: that they will see your good works and then give
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: glory glorify your Father, which is in heaven. And so
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: in conclusion and conclusion, we know that knowing God's glory
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: means knowing his character. If we seek God's glory, we
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: must be opening ourselves to his mercy, his justice, his patience,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: and his love, and be willing to give that to
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: others so they too can know the glory of God.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Make it a great day, 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.
