  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

• 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

  Speaker 2: go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Father in Heaven, thank you for giving us a new day.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Thank you for giving us the privilege of new eyesight,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: like we were talking about yesterday, a perspective where we
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: can see Jesus. Help us to see Jesus, because we
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: know that if we do, the things of earth will
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: In Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again, See Jesus,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: See Jesus, See Jesus Us. What does it mean in
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: your life to see Jesus? Really and truly we could
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: just redo what we did yesterday about those men on
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the way or the road to emmay Us. But let's
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: look at it from a different perspective. Let's start from
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the book Early Writings, page eighty one, and it reads
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the loving eyes of Jesus We're still upon me, and
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: his smile filled my soul with gladness. This is the
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: experience of the writer Ellen White in this case, And
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: wouldn't you love for that to be your experience right now?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And listen. I'm not saying it as if it is
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a possibility model. I'm saying maybe that is your experience already.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: But if it's not, today is the day, like today,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: is the day that you can begin to have this
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: experience where you know that loving eyes are upon you,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: where you believe this by faith, and you experience Him
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: to the degree that you can sense his smile, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: it will fill your soul with gladness. Now, our first
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: lesson comes in from Romans, chapter eight and verse eighteen.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: The smile of Jesus on you even when you're going
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: through difficulties. The Bible reads, for I reckon that the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: compared to the glory that shall be revealed in us.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: May I say it again, for I consider that our
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: present sufferings. I don't know what those are. That's something
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: that you and God know, and maybe some of the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: people who are closest to you. Whatever those are, cannot
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: even be compared to the coming glory that is to
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: be revealed in us. God is gonna manifest the brightness
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: of His glory in our lives in a way that
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: has never happened in the history of the world except
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: when people went to heaven like Enoch did and Elijah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Did you understand Moses after he was resurrected as he did? Whoever?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: The twenty four Elders are in the scenes of Revelation
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: chapters four and five. But we are looking forward to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the day when the glory will be revealed complete. I'm
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: talking about divine splendor. I'm talking about honor docsa, that's
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: what the term in Greek is, and we're looking forward
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: to being face to face. So present suffering has a limit.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: It's like when women are pregnant. That is one I
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: don't know what you would call it one thing. It
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: may be a burden, it may be a trial, it
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: may be labor I don't know, and experience. But that's
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: one thing that we know has a definite end. And
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: when I say definite end, I mean a point beyond
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: which it will not go. We know that you're not
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: going to be pregnant for ten months. That's not going
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: to happen. It's not going to be twelve years. It
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: won't be mysteriously into the future. And I have no
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: idea when this is going to change. No God will
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: give us the fruit of your womb in a maximum
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of nine months. Yes, but suffering has a limit too.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: We just don't know what the limit is. Future glory
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: defines the outcome. God's plan extends beyond what is currently seen.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Once you have had that baby, sisters and Daddy is
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: able also to look into the eyes of her, eyes
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of him, or if you are multiple births those babies,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: you're able to see what great things God has done
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: in those babies. Then we think, my goodness, it was
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: worth it. Whatever the trial was during labor, it was
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: worth it. It was worth it. And so our practice
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: or action step is to fix your attention. That means
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: to focus heavily focus your attention today on the future
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: God has prepared, rather than the pain that you feel
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: right now. I'm not saying to ignore the pain. I'm
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: not saying that you need to adopt that ridiculous notion
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: that so many people who our believers have the name
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: it and claim it thing or the blabbit and grab
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: it thing. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying hide
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: your eyes or play peekaboo, as if you hide your
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: eyes then those pains will mysteriously go away. It's not that,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: but we do have the privilege to focus our attention
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: on God. We can be like Jesus was in the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: garden of Gethsemane under his greatest trial, when he said,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: let this cut past God. If there's another way for
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: us to accomplish this journey, this will of yours, would
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: you please show it to me? Nevertheless, though not as
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I will, but as thou wilt. So God has prepared
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: your future, So don't focus on the pain that you
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: are currently experiencing. Our lesson number two comes in from
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Romans chapter eight and verse twenty eight. And we know
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: that all things work together, how many things, all things
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: in your life, all things in heaven, all things related
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: to your experience on earth, work together for the good.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: To them that love God, to them who are the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: called according to His purpose. That means that they all
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: cooperate toward the result of what perfecting your character. So Jesus,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: being the one who gave his life for you, and
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the Bible writer where you know, asks who can, and
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: that say who can bring an accusation against the children
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: of God? And then it says it is Christ that
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: die yay and is risen again. He's the one that
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: stands on your behalf on my behalf. And then the
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Bible writer also says in the same text that no
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: matter what's going on, we don't know what to pray
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: for as we ought, but the Holy Spirit moans engroanings
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: that cannot be uttered. God prays through the Holy Ghost.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: We see that God is giving us what we need
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: in order to be perfected. All of those things are
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: working together for the good of those who are who
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: love God and who are the called according to His purpose.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: And so God is actively working through every situation. Nothing
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: is outside of his control or beyond his purpose. My
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: watch is listening to me. I didn't realize it's taking notes.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: That's weird.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So the action step is trust
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: God's process today and align your response to his purpose.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Trust God's process today, align your response with his purpose.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I'll read this passage. I won't be able to give
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: too many lessons on this one, but it's coming in
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: from Hebrews chapter twelve and verse two. Looking unto Jesus,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: that's what we want to do. The author and finisher
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: of our faith, who for the joy that was set
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: before him, endured the cross, despising or disregarding the shame
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: and is set down at the right hand of the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: throne of God. I would see Jesus, and I hope
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: you would too. 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,
