• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much because yesterday's food
• 0:06
  is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do some
• 0:10
  of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to keep us
• 0:15
  through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all of
• 0:20
  that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need to live
• 0:25
  healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author
• 0:31
  speaker Elle David Harris. Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It
• 0:34
  is Monday, March eighteen, twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is
• 0:38
  El David Harris. I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
• 0:42
  where we give you God's word every single day, and today is no exception.
• 0:46
  We are continuing in our Lesson Studies series through the Book of Psalms.
• 0:51
  Our caption for today is sing to the Lord a new song, sing unto
• 0:57
  the Lord, a new song. We'll get in to that in just a
• 1:00
  moment, but first I'd like to say welcome to you and ask you to
• 1:03
  please go over to your Daily Portion dot com, please join our online community,
• 1:07
  pick up the Your Daily Portion book, and also let us know where
• 1:11
  you are in the world at your daily portion dot com. This is a
• 1:15
  way that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray,
• 1:21
  and then we will get underwaigh, Father and Heaven. Thank you for
• 1:23
  this new day and for the privilege that we have to sing unto you a
• 1:27
  new song. Father. I pray that you will take out of our mouths
• 1:32
  those songs of negativity, songs of defeat, those songs of lament that have
• 1:38
  to do with our sins, because now we are in agreement with you.
• 1:42
  Father, please give us a new song in Jesus' name. I pray,
• 1:46
  Amen, and a man again sing to the Lord a new song. Let
• 1:53
  me just ask you to be honest with me. Here, have you sung
• 1:59
  songs that need to be renewed? No, let me say it this way.
• 2:05
  Have you sung songs and based on what you're singing, you'll get the
• 2:12
  imagery here. Based on what you're singing, do you need to be renewed?
• 2:16
  Like poor me? You're singing songs of poor me? My problems are
• 2:22
  worse than other people's problems? Poor me? Are you singing that song?
• 2:25
  And I'm not saying that we don't have challenges. I think we could all
• 2:29
  sing those songs, poor me, poor me, I am the worst sinner
• 2:32
  that has ever lived on planet Earth? And why would God accept me?
• 2:38
  Have you sung that song? Have you sung? The song of life?
• 2:43
  Is not going to get better? I see everybody prospering and excelling all around
• 2:49
  me. When will be my turn? That song? That song of selfishness
• 2:53
  that I am so wonderful? Look at me, look at me in my
• 2:58
  designer this and designer that. The problem is not being in designer this or
• 3:01
  that. It's the look at me part. Yeah? Are you singing that
• 3:05
  song God forbid? Or inside the fellowship of believers? Focus on me?
• 3:10
  I am the final word in those meetings that we have that have to do
• 3:15
  with how God's work will go forward, or in any other situation where self
• 3:21
  is first, whether in lament, self is first, whether in rejoicing to
• 3:27
  the exclusion or to the disrespect of others, Are you singing those songs?
• 3:35
  Yeah? So, what God is saying is I'm gonna give you a new
• 3:38
  song, a song that is not full of of your sinfulness. I'm gonna
• 3:43
  give you us a new song that is not showing that you're bound in slavery
• 3:47
  in your mind or spiritually. Huh, I'm gonna give you a new song
• 3:53
  so that you can begin to be in harmony. I think you're getting the
• 3:59
  picture now with the angelic hosts and choirs, where now we are one with
• 4:04
  those who are sinless in the universe. You see in the Book of Exodus,
• 4:11
  chapter fifteen, Miriam and her sisters began to sing the song of Moses
• 4:16
  and the Lamb. And I think the Bible writer talks about a new song
• 4:21
  that will be sung once we overcome this earthly predigament here. Yes, we
• 4:28
  will sing the song of the Lamb. And so in the meantime, let's
• 4:32
  practice, right, because when you're singing or rehearse, maybe that's the right
• 4:36
  word, like, maybe we should rehearse. Maybe we should have spiritual choir
• 4:42
  practice on a daily basis, so that we begin to understand what harmony is
• 4:47
  between us and God. And so we begin in the Book of Psalms,
• 4:51
  chapter thirty three, and I will read verse three, and the Bible says,
• 4:56
  you godly ones, Are you godly brothers and sisters, that's the question
• 5:00
  I'm asking myself to you, godly ones, shout for joy because of the
• 5:06
  Lord. It is appropriate for the morally upright to offer him praise, give
• 5:15
  thanks to the Lord with the harp. Oh, we need an orchestra too,
• 5:17
  write ah, sing unto Him, to the accompaniment of ten stringed instruments,
• 5:24
  sing unto Him a new song, Play skillfully as you shout out your
• 5:30
  praises to Him. And so now we know what the new song is.
• 5:36
  It is a song that only godly people can sing. Go it's the only
• 5:43
  only people who shout for joy are shouting because of the Lord. Are the
• 5:47
  people who are godly. It is appropriate, the Bible writer says, for
• 5:53
  the morally upright to sing this song. Maybe the reason why some of us
• 5:58
  sing the song that lead to destruction, or that are that are a revelation
• 6:04
  of our destructive lives and mindset and folly, is because maybe we have not
• 6:10
  yet surrendered our will to Him to become godly. Maybe we don't have anything
• 6:15
  to shout unto the Lord of the universe. Maybe we don't know what it
• 6:20
  is to have the appropriate type of praise to God because we're not morally upright.
• 6:27
  Give thanks to God by yielding yourself to him. Brothers and sisters,
• 6:31
  I'm saying it to myself too. This is what the Bible is saying that
• 6:35
  once we yield our will to God, then we have a new song to
• 6:41
  sing. Let's go to the Book of Psalms, chapter forty now and we
• 6:46
  will read again verse three forty and verse three The Bible reads here, I
• 6:51
  excuse me. He gave me a reason to sing a new song praising our
• 6:59
  God. May many see what God has done? Do you have a testimony,
• 7:03
  brothers and sisters, Ah, Has God done anything good in your life?
• 7:09
  Like? Did He deliver you from that sin that you used to be
• 7:14
  beset by? You had a habit of lying, You had a habit of
• 7:17
  smoking something you should never have smoked, or drinking something you've never you should
• 7:21
  have drunk. Or maybe you had a habit of speaking badly about people or
• 7:27
  seeing people who were in need, and you were in the position to assist
• 7:30
  and turned a blind eye. Like is it that now you have a new
• 7:35
  reason to sing this new song praising our God. May many see what God
• 7:41
  has done so that they may swear allegiance to Him and trust in the Lord.
• 7:47
  How blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord and does not seek
• 7:51
  help from the proud or from liars. You see. So God is giving
• 7:57
  us a new song when we learned to return his tithe and offering faithfully,
• 8:01
  and we stop robbing him of tithe and offering and time and our influence and
• 8:07
  our voices to speak in those areas of the world that we find ourselves in
• 8:13
  the gym, on the road, in the taxi, at our jobs,
• 8:16
  even sometimes in the assembly of God's people, where sometimes people start to lose
• 8:20
  focus on God, and we are to invest our energies and guiding people back
• 8:28
  to worship. Oh God, interceding for people. I think it was it
• 8:35
  was Moses and Daniel and Isaiah that gave us great examples of what it means
• 8:41
  to intercede job, to intercede for God's people. Ah, And what we
• 8:48
  need to do is learn that song. Let me go to verse one of
• 8:54
  the Book of Psalms, chapter ninety six. Of course we never have enough
• 8:58
  time, but I think we can make a good, go, good run
• 9:01
  of it as we get the principles. Sing to the Lord and new song.
• 9:05
  Sing to the Lord, all the earth, sing unto the Lord.
• 9:09
  Praise his name, Announce every day how he delivers, Tell the nations about
• 9:15
  his splendor, Tell the nations about his amazing deeds. For the Lord is
• 9:20
  great and certainly worthy of praise. He is more awesome than all of those
• 9:26
  lowercase g those false gods. Come on, come on, those gods are
• 9:31
  the nations are worthless. Ah, But the God who created us all,
• 9:35
  the God of the sky, is majestic and he is holy. Thank God.
• 9:39
  Sing unto the Lord the New song. Live your life in such a
• 9:41
  way that that song actually makes sense. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends.
• 9:46
  Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
• 9:50
  comes from the mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with el
• 9:54
  David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
