09 23 2025 The Tabernacle Built · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker

  Speaker 2: single day, and today is no exception. We are continuing

  Speaker 2: the Book of Exodus, and our caption for today is
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the Tabernacle Built, The Tabernacle Built. Get into that in
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: just a moment, But first i'd like to say welcome
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: to everyone joining us, especially those joining us for the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: very first time. I'd like you to go over to

• 1:30
  Speaker 2: pray and then get underway. Father, We thank you, thank
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: you for this new day and for the privilege we
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: have to build the temple, building up the temple, building
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: up the Temple of the Lord. Please help us, brother,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: will you join us? That's what we sing to each
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: other's sister. Won't you help us building up the Temple
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: of the Lord. Help us to live that generosity concept
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: where it comes to your work. In Jesus' name, I pray,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Amen and a man and again. The Tabernacle built, well,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: how was the Tabernacle built? I think we scratched the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: surface of it yesterday. And if you read through your
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: lesson study, the actual lesson study, you saw some details
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: about how the things that God's people were called to
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: give freely, and in fact they did to the point
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: of over a flow, over abundance that they were physically
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and beautifully appointed in the actual physical structure that we
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: call the tabernacle or the sanctuary, isn't that wonderful, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: so Moses carefully constructed the tabernacle, and the instructions he
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: had received from God from God on Mount Sinai, he
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: diligently implemented them. And then, of course we can see
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: the details in today's lesson about the how the how. Okay,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And so we go now into Exodus chapter thirty nine,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Exodus chapter thirty nine and verse forty two. And let
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: me just say, while you're looking for that passage that
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the House of God in twenty twenty five. When I
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: say the house, I'm talking about the physical structure. We
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: know that God is not to struct limited to structures
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: that are made with hands. We already know that. We
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: know that the sanctuary as it was in the Old Testament,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: that is an Old Testament concept. We know that. But
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: if we are selecting a space where God is to
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: be lifted up and God is to be worshiped, God
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: is to be glorified, it needs to look like it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: It needs to sound like it, it needs to feel
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: like it. Our houses cannot be so beautiful and well appointed,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: and then the House of God be in disrepair. Yes,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about the physical structure. And so in verse
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: forty two. According to all the Lord commanded Moses, so
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: did the children of Israel make the work. Every part
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: of the tabernacle, every part of the Tabernacle was built
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: exactly as God had shown. And for those of you
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: who are analytical and detailed, like I am, in what
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: we call the flight assessment doctor Eric Thomas's flight assessment,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: that is a behavior style. It's a psycho psychometric tool
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to help us to understand our preferences and in our
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: limitations too. Yeah. Yeah, if you're analytical, you're an air
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: traffic control in that paradigm. And those individuals see all
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: of the details and we get all excited about it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: If there's a way to get excited as an ATC,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I wish I had the time. But the point is
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that analytical people with analytical gifts given by the Holy
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Ghost are in use in this reality. Yes there are
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: people who are more direct and are more demanding in
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a positive sense. Yes, there are more people who are
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: servant minded, in service minded. Yes there are people who
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: are more in your face in a positive way and welcoming,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Like on Sabbath morning, you'll have someone giving the welcome.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Hopefully it'll be someone who's welcoming. Who is the life
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: of the holy ghost party. We're not talking about parties
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: where we do stuff that ain't right. We're talking about
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: in God's presence. Yes, and so in this case, the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: analytical ones are now given this work to do things
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: with excruciating for some people precision. Not because God is arbitrary, though,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: but because each part reflects his character in the plan
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of salvation. Oh my, if we were to drill the
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: details of the sanctuary service, then we would see the
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: detail at which God has planned the salvation that He's
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: given to us. So your action step is to approach
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: God's instructions with the same care and respect. Don't say
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: that the details don't matter. Don't say that it's boring,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: because then you'll treat it like it's boring. Say don't
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: say what's the big deal, because then you won't see
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: it as a big deal. You understand, So the details
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: really do matter. Not to earn anything from God. But
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: when God gives you details, he says, put the blood
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: over the door post and on the lentil, and at
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: a certain time, and to stand with your staff in
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: your hand and your loins girt and eat hastily. Get
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: ready because you'll be thrust out of this land of Egypt.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Then if you miss the detail, then you're gonna miss
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: your deliverance. I wish somebody was listening to me this morning.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: If you miss the details and make it seem as
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: if they don't matter, then you'll also miss the deliverance.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I think I'll just move on now, approach God's instructions
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: with that same care and respect, knowing that obedience shows
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: love and trust in God. Now, from the Book of Hebrews,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: chapter eight and verse five, we read who serve unto
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the example and shadow of heavenly things? As Moses was
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: For see saith he that thou make all things according
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to the pattern showed to thee in the mount. God
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: gave the pattern the daily, the yearly services illustrated Christ's sacrifice.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine if some people decided to say, what's
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the big deal when these implements, these realities, these instructions,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: these blueprints, and all of the appointments in the sanctuary
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: reality If they said, what's the big deal? Now we
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: know that they represent aspects of Christ's sacrifice and ministry.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: That is the big deal. God commanded it. That is
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the big deal. And so it illustrated Christ's sacrifice for
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: our sins and his ongoing ministry in heaven. I wish
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I had the time to deal with the most holy
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: placed ministry that Jesus is actually actively in today. I
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: wish I had the time. But the reality is that
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: God is very specific when he gives his instructions, so
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: no one need to be in the dark. So your
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: step forward today in that regard is to study the
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Sanctuary message in the Old Testament. Study everything related to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: the Sanctuary Ah to deepen your understanding of Jesus' ministry
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: for you now and in the future. And now we
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: move on to the Book of Psalms. The Book of Psalms,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the more praise oriented, the people who are more expressive
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: are looking forward to this. And in the Psalms Chapter
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: one hundred, we read in verse four, enter into his
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise, be
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: thankful unto him and bless his name. Even some of
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: you introverts, I'm an introvert. Believe it or not, I am.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I am an introvert. Yeah, some of you may not
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: be as vocally expressive or visually expressive or effulgent, or
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: whatever way you want to put it. But the fact
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: is that God has welcomed us into His gates with thanksgiving.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Have you ever been delivered from anything? Brothers and sisters.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Has God delivered you from that sin habit you couldn't shake? Ah?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Has God? Has God saved your children? Has He saved
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: your parents? Has He delivered you from a mindset that
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: was in the way? If so, then make worship today
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: a priority and tomorrow with the Lord of Spayar's life,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: not just on the Sabbath, but intentionally entering God's presence
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: with gratitude and praise, and then watch Him work in
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: your 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,
