Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are last break of the
(00:02):
day on this Wednesday. Uh wow, new year, Steve new
you yeah, but you got here's my clothes remarks. You know,
I was this is a new year, you know, and
people that you're still meeting people going hey, happy New Year.
You know. I think after the tenth you should stop
saying Happy New Year. It's ten days in. I think
(00:24):
we all to make that to cut off point at
least the tenth. After the tenth you ain't saying Happy
New Year. We were in it now. I think everybody should,
like I said at the beginning, start twenty twenty five
off with two things. Gratitude and determination. I mean, you've
(00:49):
got to be grateful. I mean, when you look at
this number, twenty twenty five, that's a big number man.
And the older you are, the bigger, the bigger you
realize this number is. I mean, if you'd have told
me in nineteen sixty five that I would be living
in twenty twenty five, that was unthinkable for me. Now
(01:11):
I was a little boy back then. Twenty twenty five,
what are you talking about? In the year nineteen ninety nine,
Remember when all of that was going on, people was
predicting the end of the world. In two thousand, I
went out and bought a generator, just in case somebody
flipped the switch and cut the power off. You know,
I went and got me a generator, getting ready, and
(01:31):
nothing happened and all that that. That was twenty five
years ago. As I'm going into twenty twenty five, I'm
going in with two things. First of all, gratitude. I'm
just grateful to God let me live. I can't believe
He has let me live this long. I can't believe
He has blessed me with the amount of health that
I have, the amount of the will that I have,
(01:54):
the ability to think rationally, to speak, to talk, whatever
measure of health you you should be healthy. I mean
you should be grateful. Now. I know some of us
are not as healthy as we like to be, but man,
you still hear. But on top this gratitude is the
way that you get more things given to you. Do
you know? And you have to understand this. The more
(02:15):
grateful you are, the more grateful, the more grateful you are,
the more things God will give you to be grateful for.
The more gratitude you show, the more things He will
give you to show gratitude about. The more times you
say thank you, the more stuff He will give you
to be thankful for. I'm trying to get you to
(02:38):
understand it, however, I need to say it to you.
But the more giving of gratitude you do in twenty
twenty five, the more things He will do for you
to be grateful. Because what God is, He's a just God.
God understands that if you are complaining about what you
have right now, why would he give you some more?
(02:59):
Let me just think about it. That's fair, ain't it?
Ain't that fair? If I've given you this and you're
complaining about this, why would I give you more when
this has caused you nothing but misery to complain about?
You know, some people, man, you complain yourself out of
a blessing. You gotta stop that. In twenty twenty five,
(03:20):
I can't believe I'm still living in this house. Whoa whoa, whoa,
whoa whoah. Back up a little bit. How about you?
You can't believe you still living? And how can't how
you can't believe you still living in this house that
God gave you? Remember that was a time when you
asked him for that house. Do you remember that. You know. See,
(03:43):
sometimes man, we get stuck because we get stuck in
the gratitude phase. Remember when you ask God for that car,
and now that car has gotten old. You see, you
stop being grateful for the car. So now since you
ain't grateful for that car, why would God give you
another car? To understand, sometimes we get stuck in our
gratitude and we can't move forward because we don't have
(04:05):
no gratitude. You remember when you needed a place to
stay and God gave it to you. It may not
be ultimately what you wanted, but I remember when you
just wanted that apartment. I mean, when you just wanted
to get in somewhere and you got in it. Now
you're complaining about it, Well, now he's just going wold.
Every time I give you something you asked me for,
you end up complaining about it. So let me stop
(04:26):
giving you stuff. Don't you understand You've got to get
more gratitude. The second thing I'm going into twenty twenty
five with is determination. I am determined. I am determined
to do God's will. I am determined to be a
better person. I am determined to allow God more purpose
(04:49):
in my life. I am determined to ask God more
and more to order my stelf. I am determined to
ask God what is his will in my life? You
know how many plans I've made that God allowed me
to make because he gives us the power choice, but
they weren't really what he wanted me to do. But
(05:09):
since he created us and he gave us the power choice,
you know, we get that decision right. And how many
times He's had allowed these choices I've made to go
down the path I chose to go down, and then
he had to show me along in the way that
ain't what I want you to do. So this year,
I'm more determined to find out His will for me.
(05:30):
So I have plans, I have aspirations, I have things
that I've set up that I want to accomplish, but
I'm also asking God to make sure that this is
aligned with your will. And if it ain't for me,
he didn't show me quickly that it's not for me. No,
let me do like I've been doing. Let me go
down this Donnybrook path for a year and a half
to discover that ain't the path you wanted me on,
because let me stop doing what I want to do
(05:53):
all the time, and I'm just more determined to submit
to God's will in my life. So that's my plan
for this this year in twenty twenty five. I'm in
twenty twenty five with more gratitude, and I'm walking in
with a whole lot more determination. Now my wheel power
is strong. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not
gonna lie to you. I I just believe that God
(06:15):
got me on the course, and I'm determined to get that.
And no amount of haters it's gonna shake me off
course this year. Hate if you won't, hate if you will.
When you hit through, I'm in God's hands. So I
invite y'all to do the same. More gratitude, more determination,
y'all have yourself great expect even with the downfalls. And
(06:36):
the problem is that for our faces. I'll give you
this to y'all have a great dan For all Steve
