Latest / Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris / 05 24 2025 In the Psalms, Part 2
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
- 0:04Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
- 0:08Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
- 0:12Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
- 0:15Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
- 0:19Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
- 0:23Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,
- 0:32Speaker 1: Elle David Harris.

- 0:35Speaker 2: May twenty four, twenty twenty five. Hello. My name is
- 0:39Speaker 2: El David Harris. I am your host, and this is
- 0:42Speaker 2: your Daily Portion where we give you God's word every
- 0:45Speaker 2: single day, and today is no exception. We are continuing
- 0:49Speaker 2: in our lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy.
- 0:53Speaker 2: We're coming in at lesson number nine under the caption
- 0:57Speaker 2: in the Psalms Part two. In the Psalms Part two.
- 1:02Speaker 2: We'll get into that in just a moment, but before
- 1:04Speaker 2: we do, I'd like to say welcome to you and
- 1:06Speaker 2: happy Sabbath to everyone joining us, especially those joining us
- 1:09Speaker 2: for the very first time. Please go over to your

- 1:20Speaker 2: at your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of
- 1:23Speaker 2: the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
- 1:26Speaker 2: And let me just say to those who are now
- 1:28Speaker 2: watching live, you're watching live, it's not after the fact.
- 1:31Speaker 2: I'm going to be with the communicators at Camp very
- 1:35Speaker 2: this morning, so I'll be happy to see you and
- 1:38Speaker 2: greet you if you are there as well. Let's go
- 1:41Speaker 2: ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father
- 1:45Speaker 2: in Heaven, thank you for giving us this Sabbath morning
- 1:47Speaker 2: and for the privilege to get into your word again
- 1:51Speaker 2: and see what you have taught us in the past
- 1:54Speaker 2: and how it connects to our days today. Please give
- 1:58Speaker 2: us your Holy Spirit in Jesus name. I pray, Amen
- 2:03Speaker 2: and Amen again. Let me begin by reading from Psalms
- 2:07Speaker 2: chapter sixty seven, and I'll read verses three and four.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Psalm Chapter sixty seven, verses three and four, And this
- 2:14Speaker 2: is coming in from the new King James version of
- 2:17Speaker 2: the Bible, and the Bible reads, Let the peoples praise you,
- 2:21Speaker 2: Oh God. Let all the peoples praise you, Oh Let
- 2:25Speaker 2: the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you
- 2:31Speaker 2: shall judge the people righteously. There are some people right
- 2:35Speaker 2: now that wish that as they're being judged, that they
- 2:38Speaker 2: would be judged righteously. Some people are in prison, some
- 2:41Speaker 2: people are being judged God forbid, by judgmental people inside
- 2:47Speaker 2: the house of faith. There are people who are being misjudged,
- 2:50Speaker 2: even in their own families, that wish that it was
- 2:53Speaker 2: God that was judging him. Judge God that was judging her,
- 2:57Speaker 2: because He's the one that judges the people righteously. And
- 3:01Speaker 2: the Bible continues and govern the nations on earth by
- 3:07Speaker 2: show of hands. And of course the Bible says cilah.
- 3:10Speaker 2: That is really, if I oversimplified, I would say God
- 3:13Speaker 2: is saying right here, pause, let that settle in until
- 3:17Speaker 2: we transition to the next thought. Okay, And so by
- 3:20Speaker 2: show of hands, how many people wish that their nation
- 3:24Speaker 2: was governed by God himself? Go ahead and type A
- 3:27Speaker 2: one in the chat if you wish that God would
- 3:30Speaker 2: be governing where you live right now himself, without an intermediary,
- 3:35Speaker 2: without other judges and magistrates and law enforcement and kings
- 3:41Speaker 2: and rulers and prime ministers and governor generals and presidents, etc.
- 3:48Speaker 2: And no disrespect to all of those positions. Now, in fact,
- 3:52Speaker 2: I wish I had the time to drill it. But
- 3:53Speaker 2: God says, all of those people now stand as representatives
- 3:58Speaker 2: of him. In fact, he said that he called them.
- 4:01Speaker 2: He actually called them gods lowercase g of course, not
- 4:05Speaker 2: the supreme ruler of the universe, not the one who
- 4:08Speaker 2: created heaven and the earth. But he called them this
- 4:12Speaker 2: because they actually represent Him in their respective positions. But
- 4:17Speaker 2: I can remember reading in the Bible when God was
- 4:21Speaker 2: the one before there was a king Saul in the
- 4:24Speaker 2: Old Testament. I wish in twenty twenty five, God himself,
- 4:28Speaker 2: without human beings in the way, would govern the nations
- 4:32Speaker 2: of the earth. But we know that he never slumbers,
- 4:35Speaker 2: he never sleeps. He's watching both day and night, and
- 4:38Speaker 2: he sets up kings and he brings them down. So
- 4:42Speaker 2: we know, at some point, very soon in the future,
- 4:45Speaker 2: I'm thinking about the coming of Jesus Christ. Very soon
- 4:48Speaker 2: in the future, Jesus will ascend that throne finally in
- 4:52Speaker 2: a special way where he will be seen as king
- 4:55Speaker 2: of kings. In reality he is already. But everybody will bow,
- 5:00Speaker 2: every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to
- 5:04Speaker 2: the glory of God the Father. I'm looking forward to
- 5:06Speaker 2: that day. But in the meantime, we say thank God
- 5:11Speaker 2: that He is moving through in and among people. And
- 5:15Speaker 2: so let me just begin by setting a principle. We're
- 5:19Speaker 2: going to set some principles as we look forward to
- 5:21Speaker 2: the new week and study. And so we want to
- 5:24Speaker 2: praise God personally and publicly. It's our privilege to let
- 5:30Speaker 2: the people praise THEE. Oh God, Let all the people
- 5:33Speaker 2: praise THEE. And so what I want you to do
- 5:36Speaker 2: as you get warmed up for the week is begin
- 5:39Speaker 2: and end each day by saying, with your actual mouth
- 5:43Speaker 2: or writing down praise, a direct expression of your gratitude,
- 5:48Speaker 2: not only for what God has done, which is amazing,
- 5:52Speaker 2: but for who He actually is. In fact, in Revelation
- 5:55Speaker 2: chapter fourteen and verse seven, the Bible reads saying, with
- 5:58Speaker 2: a loud voice, fear God and give glory to Him,
- 6:01Speaker 2: for the hour of his judgment is come. And worship
- 6:06Speaker 2: Him that made heaven and earth and the sea and
- 6:10Speaker 2: the fountains of waters. And so we have the privilege
- 6:14Speaker 2: of praising Him. Also we have the privilege of inviting
- 6:17Speaker 2: others into the joy of knowing God. We have the
- 6:22Speaker 2: privilege of inviting others into the privilege of the joy
- 6:29Speaker 2: of God. In Psalm chapter sixty seven, verse four, the
- 6:32Speaker 2: Bible reads, Oh, let the nations be glad and sing
- 6:36Speaker 2: for joy, for thou shalt judge the people righteously. We
- 6:42Speaker 2: should be joyful when God judges, not fearful. We should
- 6:46Speaker 2: be joyful when God judges not fearful. He has all
- 6:50Speaker 2: of the information, and Jesus Christ gave himself for us.
- 6:54Speaker 2: In fact, the Bible says in John chapter five and
- 6:56Speaker 2: verse twenty two that the Father judges no one given
- 7:00Speaker 2: judgment to Jesus Christ. So we see now Jesus in
- 7:04Speaker 2: this context, he's the judge. Yes, we know that he
- 7:07Speaker 2: is the true and faithful witness. We know that Jesus
- 7:11Speaker 2: Christ is the advocate with the Father. He's the righteous one.
- 7:16Speaker 2: We know that he also took the punishment for us.
- 7:19Speaker 2: And so in every way we are covered in judgment
- 7:22Speaker 2: when he judges righteously, if we will just yield our
- 7:26Speaker 2: will to him. In Revelation chapter fourteen and verse six,
- 7:30Speaker 2: the Bible says, I saw another angel fly in the
- 7:33Speaker 2: midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to do what
- 7:37Speaker 2: to preach unto them? That dwell on the earth, to
- 7:39Speaker 2: every nation, and every king kindred, and every tongue and
- 7:44Speaker 2: every people. What is this message that's being preached. It's
- 7:49Speaker 2: the everlasting Gospel. It is the power of God unto salvation,
- 7:53Speaker 2: like we can be saved through faith by Jesus Christ.
- 7:59Speaker 2: And this is the message that goes out. Those who
- 8:02Speaker 2: are bound to all kinds of terrible desires can be
- 8:08Speaker 2: free today. I'm talking about at this moment, eight minutes
- 8:11Speaker 2: into our broadcast. You can be delivered if you are
- 8:13Speaker 2: bound by alcoholism, if you are bound by being addicted
- 8:19Speaker 2: to illicit drugs or any other drug for that matter,
- 8:22Speaker 2: if you are bound to your own pride, like liking
- 8:25Speaker 2: yourself so much that you worship your own reflection in
- 8:30Speaker 2: the mirror or on social media, as the case may be,
- 8:34Speaker 2: you can be delivered today. This is the gospel that
- 8:37Speaker 2: God is able to save to the uttermost those who
- 8:41Speaker 2: are called by him. Why and how, because He ever
- 8:44Speaker 2: liveth to make intercession for us. Let me give you
- 8:48Speaker 2: at least one more Let worship shape your understanding of prophecy.
- 8:55Speaker 2: Worship of God. Of course, and in Psalm chapter sixty
- 8:58Speaker 2: seven three and four, let me say it more time,
- 9:00Speaker 2: let the people praise THEE for thou art judge. So
- 9:05Speaker 2: the action really is for every headline or end time
- 9:10Speaker 2: event you hear about, read about, etc. That you begin
- 9:17Speaker 2: to go into the scriptures, recite a psalm and praise God.
- 9:21Speaker 2: I want you to center your mindset, center your emotions,
- 9:26Speaker 2: center your thoughts on God, and begin to worship Him
- 9:34Speaker 2: and Revelation thirteen, verse four. The Bible is teaching us
- 9:39Speaker 2: that people worship the wrong things, but God gives us
- 9:42Speaker 2: the privilege of worshiping Him. Make it a great day.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
- 9:48Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
- 9:51Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
- 9:54Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
