• 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
• 0:08
  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
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Elle David Harris.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Wednesday. It's
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: July thirty, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single day,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and today is no exception. We are continuing in our
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Lesson study series through the Book of Exodus. Of course,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: we're going from Egypt straight through to the Land of Promise.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Our caption for today is passing the Torch. Passing the Torch.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: We'll get into that in just a moment, but first
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: i'd like to say welcome to you and ask you
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: to go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: join our online community, pick up the your Daily Portion
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: life application guide and also let us know where you
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: are in the world at your Daily Portion dot com.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: This is one of the ways that we continue to
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: then we will get underway. Father, we thank you for
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: this new day and for giving us the ability to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: see where we are and then where we need to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: be if only we believe. Thank you for giving us
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: the privilege of being called by your name, but help
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: us to see our part, not just see it, but
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: own the responsibility and do your will in Jesus' name.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and Amen again. I just want to
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: give a great big shout out to my sister Mignon
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and Sooi because that seeing where we are and where
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: we need to be to be if only we believe,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: is something that she has etched in my spirit, and
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I'm grateful because some people don't have vision. The Bible
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: says without vision, the people perish, and that is not
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: our testimony. That must not be our testimony. We must
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: not see our cells in the past. We must not
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: see ourselves through the lens of other people whose minds
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: are limited. We must see ourselves through the lens of
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the one who created us and has a particular calling
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: on our lives. Okay, and so with that we begin.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: We begin by reading from the Bible Book of Exodus,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Exodus chapter twelve, verses twenty four through twenty eight, Exodus
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: chapter twelve, verses twenty four to twenty eight, and the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Bible reads, and you shall observe this thing as an
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: ordinance for you and your sons, I would say for
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: your children forever. It will come to pass when you
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: come to the land in which the Lord gave you,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: just as he promised, that you shall keep this service.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Why are we keeping this pissock service? Why are we
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: still observing the passover? That is that would be the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: question for those folks at the time. Why are we
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: doing this? Because people forget what great things God has
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: done for us. Sometimes humans forget, We make it a
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: forg a bygone era. Wow, look at what God did
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: for them, And then our lives start to reflect that
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: in our minds it's not that important today. We minimize
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and then and then yeah, the power is minimized in
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: our lives because we didn't do exactly what God said.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Right here He said now and it shall be when
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: your children shall say unto you. What do you mean
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: by this service that you will say, so now we're
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: passing on the legacy to our children and their children,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: on and on and on throughout the generations. It is
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the Lord's passover. It is the Lord's passover who passed
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households. May
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I just say this, there are some people who are
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: still looking out for lightning bolts to come down from heaven.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: They are still thinking that they are at the mercy
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: of an angry God, God forbid. There are some people
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: who still have that judgmental mindset for themselves. Every one
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: of us is born with it. I wish I had
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the time to deal with positive intelligence. But the reality
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: is we need to shut that judge up in our
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: brains because the judge is not God. In our brains,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: that judgmental self that sees only that evil, only the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: things that are wrong, only the way that you have failed,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and no way out without hope, without the blood of
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the Lamb. That needs to be shut up. How do
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: we do it? We look back. We look back at
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the time that God delivered his people, despite the fact
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: that they had been so these guys were annoying. I
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: don't understand the patience of God. They were so annoying.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: They murmured about everything. If it was sunny, it was
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: a murmur. If it was cloudy, it was a murmur.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: If they were eating and they murmured. If they were hungry,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: they murmured. If they were walking or standing still, they
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: murmured it. You literally could not please these people, but
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: God passed over them by virtue of their faith in
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: God through the blood of the Lamb. You should be
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: seeing yourself here now. So the people bowed their heads,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: and what did they do? They worshiped. Then the children
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: of Israel went away and did so, just as the
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. So they did they worshiped. Really,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: if we could just stop right here, we would be
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: at the right place. If anything we say or talk
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: about on these broadcasts cause you to worship God, then
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: we will have accomplished the task. Because a worshipful person
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: is fully connected to God. A worshipful person is always
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: looking for an opportunity to help those who have needs
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and to bring other people into a right relationship with
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: God and So I'm grateful that we have the privilege
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: of passing the torch. One generation shall command your works
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to another, and shall declare your mighty acts, the Bible
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: says in the Book of Psalms, chapter one hundred and
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: forty five and verse four. So we want to pass
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the torch to the next. So let's get three lessons
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: out of this first beginning in Exodus chapter twelve, Versus
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: twenty six and twenty seven, and the Bible reads, and
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: it shall come to pass when your children shall say
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: unto you. I know I'm repeating it, but we have
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: to knock it in to a place in our brains.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Now what mean ye by this service? Then ye shall
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: say the sacrifice is the passover of the Lord. So
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: what we need to do is schedule intentional moments. Intentional
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: moments meals. Our family eats meals together every day. It's
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: either Simone and I eating together or Simone, Josiah and
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I eating together. But we're together. Devotions car rides we
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: actually worship on the way too. If it's during the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: school season, then the three of us are in the
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: vehicle worshiping on the way to school and to the gym.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Car rides to share personal testimonies of God's faithfulness with
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: your children or loved ones. So faith must be remembered
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: through intentional storytelling. That's right Number two, coming in from
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: again the same passage Psalm chapter one, forty five and
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: verse four. One generation shall praise Thy works to another
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: and shall declare Thy mighty acts. So what we want
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: to do is write a short faith story from our
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: own lives this week. I'm not saying to put it
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: in a book. I'm saying for your own purposes and
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: to share with your posterity. Write it in a like
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I have a little tablet right here, boom. You can
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: write it like that. You can write it on a
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: sheet of paper, type it in your phone, or whatever
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: you need to do to cause your brain to pick
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: up on the details of what God has done for you,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: and then tell it to a younger person as a
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: part of your legacy. And then we go in for
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: number three at Exodus chapter twelve and verse twenty seven.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: And the people bowed the head and worshiped. And of course,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: worship is the response of both promise and instruction. Don't
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: wait for the miracle to be completed. Worship in faith
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: as soon as God gives the direction, and let me
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: see if I can get anything from this child guidance
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: quote really quickly, page five twenty. In every family there
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: should be a fixed time for morning and evening worship.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: How appropriate is it for the parents to gather their
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: children about them before the fast is broken, to thank
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the heavenly Father for his protection during the night, and
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: ask him for his help and guidance.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And watch case for joining us today. Friends, peace always
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by every
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: word that comes from the mouth of God. This has
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: been your daily portion with el David Harris. Make it
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a great day.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah,
