• 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,

  Speaker 2: Lesson study series through the Book of Exodus, and our
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: caption for today is God's Righteous Wrath, God's Righteous Wrath.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Before we get into that, I'd like to just say
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: welcome to you and ask you to go over to

• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Father in Heaven, thank you for giving us the opportunity
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: to come together again this morning. You have given us
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the blueprint for relationship with you. Please help us to
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: live in right relationship with you. In Jesus' name, I pray,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Amen and Amen again God's righteous wrath. So much to say,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: so much to say. Have you ever had someone who
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: really loves you angry with you? Talking about someone who
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: has your best interest at heart? Think about maybe your parents, Like,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: There've only been a couple of times that I was
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: actually angry with my son Josiah. You know, there were
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: times that I just literally and I don't want to
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: tell his business here because now he's old enough to care.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: But they're just a couple of times. But guess what
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I always meant for his good. I always meant his good,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: and so I gave him everything that he needed to
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: be successful. And in those situations where he chose another path,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: sometimes I was disappointed. Sometimes I wish he had gone
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: another way. But they are just a couple of times
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: that it was it required wrath. That's what I'm saying
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: to you. I'm not going to tell you what the
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: wrath meant, because that's really none of anybody's business.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: But there are times when God is disappointed, even though
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: he knows what we're going to do before we do it,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: he knows what we won't do before we don't do it. Right,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: But there are times that warrant action. And so now
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: God is about to take action with his people. But
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: there's just one thing. One of his people actually understood
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: what we would learn about Messiah eventually, about interceding, intervening
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: with God in order to get a result that is
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: of mercy for the people God loves. And so from
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the book Patriarchs and Prophets, page one hundred and forty,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: we read the true leader forget self in his care
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: of the flock. Committed to his charge. He loses sight
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: of himself in his interest for those whom God has
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: appointed him to feed and to shepherd. Can I just
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: say that a little bit slower? Yeah, True shepherds aren't
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: thinking about ourselves. We're thinking about how we can feed,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: how we can protect, how we can nurture the people
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: that God has entrusted to us, and Moses was a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: good shepherd. I know what I just said. And so
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: from Exodus, chapter thirty two and verse eleven, on the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: heels of the people of God creating a new idol,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: and Aaron being more than just complicit. Now he's leading
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: them down the wrong path. Moses' is back, and the
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Bible reads, and Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people? Notice
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: he is identifying that these are your people, God, which
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: with great power? Like God, why would you deliver your
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: people from captivity where in the same captivity they could
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: have been destroyed. Why would you deliver them from that
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: destruction only to destroy them? God? God, why would you
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: do that? You brought them out of Egypt with power
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and a mighty hand. Why would you do that? God? So,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: when offered the chance to become the father of a
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: new nation, think about it. God said, I'm gonna blot
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: them people out, those people that you brought out of Egypt.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I'm about to blot those guys out. I'm blotting them
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: people out, and I will create a new nation, like,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: we can do this all over again. I don't need
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: these people. That's what it sounds like if we're not
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: really thinking or listening with God. But that's the word
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: that he gave. Moses chose to plead instead of taking
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: God up on that offer. Moses chose to plead for
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: God's people, instead of pursuing his personal legacy. How many
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: of you, I'm not asking you to actually type it
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: in the chat. How many of you when God says
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: we can do this all over again, we can do
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: it right, we can do it with you forget these people.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: How many of you would have said, all right, God, well,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: if that's the way you want it, we can do that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Build them off for me. I'm good. But that is
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: not what our brother did. So we can learn now
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: to pray. We pray daily for others, asking God to
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: fulfill his promises in their lives, even when it costs
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: you recognition or advantage. I'm talking about the people of
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: God in this case. There are times that I encounter
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: men standing outside of the church of God's people and
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: God standing outside with all kinds of pamphlets and tracks
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and little books and trying to pull people away from God.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Away from God's church with all kinds of really dark things.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Instead of being helpful and interceding for the people of God,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: they're trying to pick out the details of the people
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: of God's mistakes between them and God, if in fact
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: those are true reality, like sometimes people make up stuff.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Instead of being on the team with God and his people,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: these people are pulling them away. Well, Moses stayed on
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the team. He said, God, let's work together. These are
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: your people, Please do not block them out. And then
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: comes from verse nineteen of Exodus, chapter thirty two, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the Bible reads, and it came to pass as soon
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: as he came nigh unto the camp and saw the
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: calf and the dancing, and Moses's anger waxed hot. He
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: cast the tables out of his hands and break them
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: beneath the mountain. Let me just say that we can
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: intellectually and maybe even emotionally understand why Moses reacted in
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the way he did, even though God had shown him,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: he told him what they were doing down there. He
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: knew it wasn't war like. He knew what was going on,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and he goes down there, but when he sees it,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: his emotions got the better of him, and he physically
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: breaks the commandment stones that God emblazing the ten words
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: with his own fingers. He breaks them as a symbol
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: of the people breaking the covenant. But God dealt with him.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: He should never have done that. God's wrath is God's wrath,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: he said, vengeance's mind. Don't do that, Moses. And so
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Moses is breaking of the tablets, as I said, symbolize
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the people breaking God's law. Rebellion demands a firm and
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: decisive response. But of course we need to have the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: right one when sin appears in your influence or responsibility,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: confronted with truth and commitment to restore God's order. One
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: thing that et Eric Thomas has been teaching the community
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: that we help people in He's always talking about the
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: difference between between in a motion based response and a
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: principle based response or decision making process. In this case,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Moses could have chosen the principle. But we understand what
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: went wrong. We understand now finally, finally, from Exodus, chapter
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: thirty two and verse twenty four, and he said, unto them,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: whosoever hath any gold, let him break it off. So
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: they gave it to me. This is Aaron's excuse. Then
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I cast it into the fire and there came out
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: this calf. So Aaron is trying to say that some
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: kind of magical, mystical thing happened instead of taking responsibility. Listen,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: if you are guilty of something with God, the safest
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: place to be is honest. Be honest with God and
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: let him make your joining us peace.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Always. Remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with el David Harris, make
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah,
