Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
- 0:03Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
- 0:07Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
- 0:11Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
- 0:15Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
- 0:19Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
- 0:22Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
- 0:26Speaker 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,

- 0:54Speaker 2: and our caption for today is Psalm chapter five. I know, unimaginative,
- 0:59Speaker 2: but that's it's okay, Psalm chapter five. We'll get into
- 1:03Speaker 2: that in just a moment, But first I'd like to
- 1:04Speaker 2: say welcome to you and ask you to go over

- 1:41Speaker 2: we will live according to your word. In Jesus's name,
- 1:45Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay, So which part
- 1:50Speaker 2: of Psalm chapter five do you love the most? Which
- 1:56Speaker 2: part of Psalm's chapter five do you love the most?
- 2:03Speaker 2: Let me go ahead and read the ones that I
- 2:06Speaker 2: love the most. Okay, So Psalm chapter five, beginning at
- 2:10Speaker 2: verse one, give ear to my words, O Lord, consider
- 2:16Speaker 2: my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my
- 2:22Speaker 2: King and my God. For unto THEE will I pray
- 2:28Speaker 2: my voice shall thou hear in the morning, O Lord.
- 2:32Speaker 2: In the morning, I will direct my prayer unto THEE,
- 2:37Speaker 2: and will look up verse eleven. But let all those
- 2:40Speaker 2: that put their trust in THEE rejoice. Let them ever
- 2:45Speaker 2: shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also
- 2:51Speaker 2: that love Thy name be joyful in THEE. I love
- 2:56Speaker 2: this in the words of my sister Mignon, who says
- 2:59Speaker 2: it often God loves us enough to listen to us.
- 3:05Speaker 2: When she opens prayers when we're doing coaching calls together.
- 3:08Speaker 2: She says, I'd love the fact that God, thank you.
- 3:12Speaker 2: She says, thank you for loving us enough to listen
- 3:16Speaker 2: to us. That's exactly what she says, thank you for
- 3:18Speaker 2: loving us enough to listen to us. And I'm thinking
- 3:21Speaker 2: that's a big deal, because to hear and to do
- 3:24Speaker 2: in the way that God taught his people back in
- 3:27Speaker 2: those days, we're the same. So if he's listening to us,
- 3:32Speaker 2: then that means he is acting on our behalf. He's
- 3:36Speaker 2: acting on our behalf. And so in the Bible Book
- 3:39Speaker 2: of Psalms, chapter five, we see that there is a
- 3:43Speaker 2: correlation to many things in Revelation chapter fourteen, verses one
- 3:47Speaker 2: through twelve, and so I will draw some of them.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Some of those correlations here. The first one is David's
- 3:54Speaker 2: clear contrast between the righteous and the wicked. He does
- 3:59Speaker 2: not put them together. If you remember in Isaiah chapter five,
- 4:02Speaker 2: the Bible says, woe unto those who call evil good
- 4:06Speaker 2: and good evil. Well, David does not do that. In fact,
- 4:10Speaker 2: in verses four and five, the Bible reads, for thou
- 4:14Speaker 2: art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness. The
- 4:18Speaker 2: foolish shall not stand in thy sight Verses seven and eight.
- 4:24Speaker 2: But as for me, I will come into thy house,
- 4:28Speaker 2: Lead me, o Lord, into thy righteousness. In fact, in
- 4:33Speaker 2: Revelation chapter fourteen, verses nine, three eleven, it says warn.
- 4:38Speaker 2: It warns of those who follow the beast, they will
- 4:42Speaker 2: receive the wrath. It describes in verses one through five
- 4:46Speaker 2: the redeemed who follow the Lamb in purity and truth.
- 4:53Speaker 2: So David shows that God has no tolerance for evil.
- 4:57Speaker 2: He welcomes the humble who seek his presence. So how
- 5:02Speaker 2: do I apply this? Well, Being a part of God's people,
- 5:06Speaker 2: especially in the last days, means choosing moral clarity. We're
- 5:10Speaker 2: not trying to get it all figured out. The reality
- 5:13Speaker 2: is His word is clear. We don't have to try
- 5:15Speaker 2: to figure out is this evil for me? Is that
- 5:18Speaker 2: righteous for her? No? No, no, no. God has given
- 5:21Speaker 2: us in his holy ten commandments law, the standard Jesus Christ.
- 5:26Speaker 2: In case we didn't get the memo when we were
- 5:28Speaker 2: reading in Deuteronomy five and in Exodus chapter twenty, if
- 5:32Speaker 2: we did not get the memo in the New Covenant,
- 5:35Speaker 2: in the Book of Jeremiah chapter thirty one, if we
- 5:37Speaker 2: didn't get the memo all throughout Old Testament history, Jesus
- 5:41Speaker 2: Christ became the best example and case study for what
- 5:46Speaker 2: the law of the Lord being perfect lives. Like the
- 5:51Speaker 2: Psalmas said, the law the Lord is perfect converting the soul.
- 5:54Speaker 2: We get to see this in real, living color in
- 5:58Speaker 2: the life of Jesus Christ. A part of God's people,
- 6:01Speaker 2: especially in the last days, means moral clarity. Ah, we
- 6:06Speaker 2: can't live in two different camps in the river on
- 6:10Speaker 2: the bank. No. In fact, people in the Old Testament,
- 6:14Speaker 2: the prophets how long haltsy between two opinions. Elijah said, Ah,
- 6:19Speaker 2: if God be God, then serve him. I think it
- 6:21Speaker 2: was Joshua that says, as for me and my house,
- 6:25Speaker 2: we will serve the Lord. Choose you this day whom
- 6:27Speaker 2: you will serve, but my house, Me and my house,
- 6:31Speaker 2: we're gonna serve the Lord. Number two, the righteous seek
- 6:34Speaker 2: God's presence and walk in his ways. I read it already,
- 6:39Speaker 2: but I'll read it again. In Psalm chapter five and
- 6:41Speaker 2: verse three, my voice shalt thou hear in the morning,
- 6:46Speaker 2: I will look up verse eight. Lead me, o, Lord
- 6:49Speaker 2: in thy righteousness. In Revelation fourteen, verse four, the Bible reads,
- 6:54Speaker 2: these are they which follow the Lamb, whethersoever he go.
- 6:57Speaker 2: With verse twelve, here is the patience of the saints
- 7:00Speaker 2: that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
- 7:05Speaker 2: So David opens up with an intentional prayer and dependence
- 7:10Speaker 2: upon God's guidance. We see that the people of God
- 7:13Speaker 2: who are following the Lamb have to be intentional. You
- 7:16Speaker 2: can't accidentally follow the Lamb wherever he goes. Because Jesus
- 7:20Speaker 2: Christ sometimes, as he leads us through to the paths
- 7:23Speaker 2: of righteousness, there are bumps in the road. There are
- 7:26Speaker 2: difficulties that we will encounter. We will be falsely accused, maligned,
- 7:31Speaker 2: and abused. Yes, he said, in fact, when you are
- 7:34Speaker 2: lied upon, especially for doing right, he said, rejoice and
- 7:39Speaker 2: be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in Heaven,
- 7:42Speaker 2: for so persecuted day the prophets which were before you. Okay,
- 7:46Speaker 2: and so we see that the patience of the people
- 7:49Speaker 2: of God in the last days is manifesting them actually
- 7:53Speaker 2: doing what God said, not being confused and deceived like
- 7:58Speaker 2: Eve was at the tree of the knowledge of God
- 8:00Speaker 2: and evil, not being proud and big chested and bosy
- 8:04Speaker 2: like a like Adam was when he jumped into sin
- 8:09Speaker 2: when Eve gave him the fruit that God said, don't
- 8:11Speaker 2: eat you. See, they keep the commandments of God. And
- 8:16Speaker 2: guess what God instills in our bosom. The kind of
- 8:19Speaker 2: faith that gets us through in the last days, and
- 8:22Speaker 2: so our application thought is that the last day people
- 8:27Speaker 2: are not simply forgiven, but we're all so cleansed from
- 8:32Speaker 2: all unrighteousness. We are also faithful and obedient and dependent
- 8:37Speaker 2: upon God, just like David described. Let's see if we
- 8:41Speaker 2: can make it with this final final one number three.
- 8:44Speaker 2: God shields the righteous and judges the rebellious in verse
- 8:50Speaker 2: twelve of Psalm chapter five, for thou Lord wilt bless
- 8:53Speaker 2: the righteous with favor, Thou wilt compass him as with
- 8:58Speaker 2: a shield. In Revelation chapter fourteen and verse one, the
- 9:02Speaker 2: Bible says that the one hundred and forty four thousand
- 9:05Speaker 2: are sealed with sealed in their foreheads, protected, protected from
- 9:11Speaker 2: the trials that are going to come. I'm talking about
- 9:14Speaker 2: those extreme ones. The wicked drink the wrath of God
- 9:17Speaker 2: in verse ten. While the saints are preserved because we
- 9:23Speaker 2: have chosen to follow him. We are obedient and faithful.
- 9:27Speaker 2: So the righteous are not exempt from trials. I cited
- 9:30Speaker 2: that a little bit earlier. But we are surrounded by
- 9:33Speaker 2: God's favor, surrounded by his protection, and ultimately we will
- 9:38Speaker 2: surround the throne of God and throw our crowns at
- 9:41Speaker 2: Jesus's feet because he's worthy. Peace.
- 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,
