Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh huh, I show will good morning everybody you are
listening to the voice, come on deeing me now, one
and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I say
it every day because God been good to me. God
has done some things in my life that's truly been
just amazing and really amazing. Ain't even really the word.

(00:22):
They don't really have a word for what He's done
for me. I'm just out of superlatives. That's why I
say it every day. Steve Harvey got a radio show
because God is in a blessing business. Yeah it is God.
God can help you turn your life around. Did you
hear me? God can help you turn your life around.
Whatever you going through, God has an answer for it.

(00:43):
See but it's the going through that gets us though,
ain't it. Because I was having a moment yesterday and
I set my wife down, I said, baby, I just
need to talk to him going through a little bit
right now. I just wanted to share what I'm a
little down right now. My wife reminded me, She just
reminded me, just see this what a man. That's what
a good mate does. A good mate reminds you just

(01:07):
of things that sometimes you forget. When you get off track.
Because you know, I consider myself a motivational type person.
I try to listen to people and then give them
something I've learned along the way on this journey I've
been on. I try to give a person a takeaway.
But even being that person, sometimes I get off track myself.

(01:29):
I get a little a little low. Sometimes, you know,
I get a little down. Sometimes I sometimes I forget
some of the stuff I say. And ain't that I
forget it. I guess I just get caught up in
the grind of doing it. And sometimes I get I
get a little off course, and I forget some of
the things that my wife or a mate can be

(01:52):
good for you to remind you. And she just says,
Steve God got us. She said, have you ever noticed
that every time you get in a spot? And she say,
and I know how you must feel, because you out
here working, and and then you keep turning around and
and and and old stuff keep popping up, and you

(02:12):
get a call from your accounting and hit this then
went wrong? And not then when you steady trying to
fix it, but you steady going wild? Man? What does this?
She say? But you ever noticed he always always no
matter what, provide a way, and he ain't ever too late,
or you might be going the deadline is approaching. The
deadline can come and pass, but then they have a

(02:35):
grace period for you. And then sometimes man, it's just
you go down now after the grace period and they
take the payment anywhere and you're good anyway. But see,
ain't that God bringing you through it? It may not
be when you want it, but he right on time.
Jazz before you get put out, jazz before they turned.
Maybe they cut the lights off, but you get it
back on. Jess Folk company, come or just before the weekend,

(02:58):
get here. See, He always comes through for you. And
she had to remind me of that what you're going
through is necessary. Look, circumstance and hardships and pitfalls are
always untimely if you keep the law of attraction and play,
if you keep believing the death that He gonna see

(03:19):
you through this just like he do when you don't
believe it. That's what the old part is, though, Ain't
it ain't God brought you through even when you didn't
really had a faith to say he was gonna bring
you through. But because of grace and mercy, he brought
you through anyway, But because you forgot to thank him,
or you didn't pay attention through to come through, you

(03:41):
just was telling people, oh, man, of you to see me.
It was so jacked up. Man, I was so turned up.
I ain't know what I was donna do. I almost
got put out. I was gonna see keyword almost, And
you forgot that part right there. And then I was
look like I won man and death. And seemed like
every month I go through this same thing, ain't And
then day then somebody ought to just say, did you

(04:03):
pay it? Yeah? I paid it? Did you get put out? Now?
I'm cool? See some See you need somebody on your
shoulder to say that to you, and then you need
somebody to come right behind him and go, man, ain't
God good? Really? Man, that's how this works. See, you
keep getting in situations, but he keep getting you out.

(04:23):
Now if you jump, look, listen to me. Hold on.
Let's say you in the frying pan and the skillet
and all is up and you and that frying and
you uncomfortable being fried God somehow, Or let's just say
you managed to get out of the hot grease in
the frying pan and you standing that next to the skillet,

(04:45):
looking at the fire, continue to heat the grease, you
get out, and then for some unexplainable reason, you dives
right on back in there. Ain't that how we usually
do it? I'm just asking you, God, get you away
from the man you've been asking to get away from.
Then you go right back over there and start seeing

(05:06):
him again. It's amazing how many times God get us
out the fire and we walked right back in there.
Ain't it amazing? Man? I mean, really, man, see this
high break life down for me so I don't get
over here stuck on, stupid with myself, and then get
to doing something ignorant like blaming God. When really, man,

(05:27):
God has given us, as human beings, the power of decision,
and we all make decisions. How many times, man, see,
sometimes it's a blessing and getting locked up. You can
ask a lot of caps I know, man to tell
you it was a blessing for me, man, because I
was just headed the wrong way, steady, but he locked
me up. Setting me down made me miss my family,
miss being out here being a free man, made me

(05:50):
realize that my family was important. Made me man, really
see this girl for what she was When I get
out man, I'm on a straight and narrow Well then
when you get out though, See, you can't be talking
about no oh man, I can't find no job. Now
I'm gonna go and do what I gotta do. No,
no, no no, no, no, partner, you got to do now
what you're supposed to do. See that don't do what

(06:11):
you gotta do got you in trouble in the first place.
See everybody, See see the hood got a lot of
ignorant rules. We didn't create it. I gotta do what
I gotta do. I gotta feed my family. Well, the
only reason you gotta do what you gotta do, it's
because you didn't do what you were supposed to do.
See if you just went on to school like your
mamma kept telling you. Ah, man, I was watching forty

(06:31):
eight Hours yesterday and the dude named Nesto was on
that and Nesto Latino do said, Man, my mother told
me quit hanging with these guys. They were going nothing
but trouble. I should have listened to her. He doing
thirty years right now. You can't blame God. That's why
I talk to myself this way so I don't get
stupid and start shifting to blame the wrong way when

(06:53):
it's really on me. How many times has God got
you out of something and you walk right back into it? Man,
why don't you take these blessings God give you and
going about your business? That be the best way to
do it. Don't you think that's what I think? So
I thank God my wife for reminding me that God
got us anyway, that God gonna pull you through anyway that.

(07:17):
Have you noticed, Steve, we ain't lost a beat. Oh.
I know it's hard out here, but really you ain't
lost a beat. You're still moving forward, You're still dressing nice,
you still look good when you come into that job.
Everybody don't got to know you. Your house is in
bad shaping. All that God got you, man, if you
just hold your head up, man, quit complaining all the

(07:39):
time about what you ain't got, and as in words
of my daddy's slick Harvey, stop talking about what you
ain't got, and take a good look at what you do. God,
that's improper grammar, but that always stuck with me and
maybe it'll stick with you. Quit talking about and look
at what you ain't got to take a good look
at what you do. God
