• 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 afternoon and happy lunchtime. It is Monday, September fifteen,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: It's the Life Application Lunch and Learn. If you want
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: to say yes, yes, yes, And we are continuing in
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: our lesson study through the Book of Exodus, and our
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: caption for today is that I may oh you. And
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: for our regular viewers and listeners, I just want to
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: give you an understanding of what this is. We have
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the Life Application Guide. You can go to your Daily
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Portion dot com and pick that up, but we seldom
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: have an opportunity to even read it in the mornings
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: when we're studying our lesson together, and so this is
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: an opportunity for you to hear it and you become
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: acquainted with it and apply the truth that we talk
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: about every single morning. One caveat though we don't broadcast
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: this lunchtime edition on Sabbath's Okay, So we're here Sunday
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to Friday, and of course seven days a week in
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: the morning for our actual study. Okay. So hopefully that
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: makes sense to you, and we'll do this until we
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: are clear whether it is finally getting traction or we
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: need to just say no, no, no, no, We'll only
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: deal with the morning time, okay. So pick up your
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: pick up your Life Application guide at your Daily Portion
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: dot com. Let's go ahead and pray, Father, thank you
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: for giving us this afternoon time that we can reflect
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: and apply. In Jesus' name, I pray Amen and Amen again,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and so I'm not going to reteach the lesson. We
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: did that this morning, but just remember the context is
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: that Moses wanted to make sure that he knew God
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and that God knew him, and that was Jesus's prayer.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: He said, this is life eternal, that they may know
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: hast sent. Okay, so we are applying it based on
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: what we studied this morning spiritual application, and we're using
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the whin acronym again every single day. That's what we're
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: doing and for spiritual application. What's important now, Growth with
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: God always includes a deeper hunger to know Him personally.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Think we need to drill that that's the reality, internalize
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the insight. Moses had already seen God's power, but he
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: still asked, show me your way that I may know you.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Knowing God is not just collecting facts. That's something that
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: we're accustomed to, which is why we have the life
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: application God, because you know, we're good at the people
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: who are believers are good at collecting facts and using
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: inspirational things and information. But what we need is the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: same thing that Moses was looking for. It is entering
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: into a deeper fellowship that is a two way relationship.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: The more you encounter God, the more you realize how
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: much more of Him there is to know. Aren't you
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: glad that God is limitless? Aren't you glad that there
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: is so much more to know and love? Aren't you
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: glad that God does not have in terms of his
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: ability to transform you. Let me not preach it. Let's
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: go to the next best move today. Do not only
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: ask for things in prayer. God wants us to ask.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: He wants us to ask. In fact, I remember a quote.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I think it's from Steps to Christ's Book, page forty nine.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I can't remember for sure, but it says God, it
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: is the will of God to grant an answer to
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the prayer of faith that which He would not bestow.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Did we not thus ask? So God wants us to ask? Okay,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: but we want to ask God to show more of
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: his character. Seek to know his heart and not only
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: his hand. Isn't there a song that says that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: So we're going on now to personal application. Go ahead
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and type in the chat which one of these applications
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: will you focus on? Is it going to be spiritual,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: personal relationships or professional? Okay, so we're going to personal. Now.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: What is important now? You grow spiritually when you seek
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to know who God is and not only what he
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: can do. Internalize the insight. Moses's experience teaches that spiritual
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: maturity is not measured by how long you've walked with God.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: You know some of the old church people used to say,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I've been in the way how many years?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: And that was supposed to be a way that we
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: would congratulate one another. Well, okay, not just measured that way,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: but how much you long for Him every day? How
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: much more do you long for God every single day?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Not just talking about you got baptized fifty years ago,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and I think most of the people who are watching,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: most of you who are watching, about seventy four percent
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: of those who are watching me in the morning time
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: and listening on the radio probably got baptized about sixty
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: years ago. How long have you been in the way?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: That's wonderful, But how much more do you long for him?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about today? And then, of course, the next
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: best move set aside personal time to ask God one
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: simple question. I think you can guess it. Show me
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: your glory God. Please let that prayer become part of
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: your personal devotional time. Now we're going to the relationship's application.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: What is important now? Your hunger for God will influence
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: how you serve others. M hmm. Some of those posts
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: that people do on social media, Yeah, if we had
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: a hunger and a thirst after righteousness, some of those
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: posts we would never even put out. We just never would.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Those are arguments and retorts we would never put out
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: if we had a hungering and a thirsting after God.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: So this will show how we're an influence, really, how
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: we serve others. I internalize the insight. The closer moses
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: God to God, the better he could lead, intercede, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: serve Israel. Your deepening relationship with God equips you to
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: handle the people you are called to lead and to love.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I have a couple of leadership positions right currently, and
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I'm asking God on a regular basis, please will you
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: show me how to do it like you did when
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Solomon said, God, these are your people? How am I
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: going to lead this your people? Give me wisdom? And
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I ask God actually on a daily basis, Lord, give
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: me double the wisdom that you gave to Solomon. Okay,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: And then, of course, the next best move pray specifically
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: for God to shape your heart so you reflect him
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: more clearly. Oh, in your family, those are the people
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: that are your first ministry, your family, your friendships, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: of course your leaderships. Finally, finally, did you type in
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the chat which one of these applications you're going to
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: focus on today and now comes the professional application. What
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: is important now, Effective leadership flows from intimacy with God.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Intimacy with God, we're talking about a nearness with God. Ah,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: there is a place of quiet rest near to the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: heart of God, a place where sins cannot molest, near
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: to the heart of God. Oh, Jesus, Blessed Redeemer. Aha,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: see you what I'm saying, sent from the heart of God. Oh,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: give us those who wait before you closer, Get us
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: closer God to your own heart. Okay, And so we
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: internalize the insight. Moses's desire to know God was not
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: only personal, it directly affected how he led. So yes,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: we apply this personally, but if we're having interactions at
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: work or in our businesses, or in even education, this
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: is what we need to do. Like, how is this
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: affecting the connection with the people and how I actually
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: lead the people. There are four leadership styles. I wish
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I had the time to deal with those. Your professional clarity,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: your patience, and wisdom come from knowing God to your core.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And then the next best move before making major decisions,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: pause to pray, Lord, teach me your ways so I
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: may lead according to your heart. Again again. Choose one
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: of the ways today to apply the study that we
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: do in the morning. And yeah, we'll see you again
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: two times tomorrow if the Lord spars life 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,
