Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Last break of the day with the man of the hour.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
The last four hours, to be exact, the one and
only Steve Harvey. Step on up to the mic for
your closing. You know what?

Speaker 2 (00:12):
I just want to talk to you all about something
about other people as well as yourself. I want you
to realize something that you got to just hang in there, folks.
You just got to hang in there because where you
are is so very temporary. It matters not where you are.

(00:33):
It only matters where you're headed. You're going somewhere. Remember
that everything you're going through is God preparing you for
what you ask for.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
But you're in the process. You are in the midst
of being processed. All of us are.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
If you are trying to get to the next level,
you have to be processed into that next level. You
can't just go to the next level. You can't go
to the 10th grade without finishing the ninth grade. You
can't go to college without being in with a high
school diploma.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
You can't.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
You just you got to go through the process.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
You know, so what I'm what I'm getting at is this.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Don't get down on yourself because you're going through a
period in your life. And this period is kind of
challenging for you like it is right now. There are
a lot of people right now going through some challenging
moments in their life. And it's getting to be a
little bit daunting at times. And you're starting to feel
a little bit overwhelmed by it all because you're sitting

(01:39):
there and you're thinking, man, I don't have enough of this. Lord,
where you at? I don't got to learn this lesson
no more. If you could just come on, I got it.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Fix me.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Rescue me. Deliver me. Give me the blessing that I've
been praying for. You keep asking and then you start
to get a little defeated because it ain't happening in
your time. That happens to you. Well, it happens to
other people too. And you got to be careful how
you treat other people because they may not always be

(02:12):
in that position for long. Do you know how many
people I know who just did me wrong when I
was on the way coming up? You have any idea
the number of people who were discouraging to me on
my way up?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
They had no idea.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
You know how many people bad mouth me, bad mouth
you on your way up?

Speaker 1 (02:33):
They don't have any idea who you really are.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Do you know how many people throwing dirt on you,
thinking they bringing you harm?

Speaker 1 (02:42):
They don't even.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Realize what they're doing. They don't know. Because you know
what they're doing? They're judging you. They're judging you based
on a season. They're judging you based on a period
that you're in now. You got to be careful when
you're judging people because of a period they're going through.

(03:06):
Because that period is just a season. This down moment
that you have, it's just a season. And just like
the seasons change, this too shall change. Just like seasons pass,
this too shall pass. Somebody sent me something one day
that said, never judge somebody based on a season. And

(03:29):
I started thinking about it and they went on. So
I kept reading what they said and they were just
talking about it, man. It was so true. They said
one season changed. David was a shepherd. But the next season,
he was a king. But you know how they played
David on the way up? Oh, they wouldn't volunteer David

(03:53):
for nothing. They wouldn't suggest David for nothing. He was
just a little shepherd boy. David can't be the one
to go down there and get that giant. We ain't
even going to bring David up. David went from a
shepherd to a king. One season, Ruth was working in
the field. The next season, she was owning the same field.

(04:17):
It's just what a guy said. It's just biblical, you know,
stories that's out there that really, if you're a person
of faith, it matters to you. If you're not a
person of faith, this is not for you. But it's okay.
I didn't know you was listening. One season, Mordecai was
sitting outside the king's palace. The next season, he was

(04:39):
inside the palace. We serve a God that turns things around.
And he is the God of unmerited favor. We are
all privy to his unmerited favor. Because he passes it

(05:01):
out to no particular person.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
We have all been privy to this unmerited favor.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
You know how many of us can tell you something
that happened to us that we just can't explain? That
was favorable. You know, when it looked like the verdict
was going one way and it turned around and went
another way, that was favor. When it looked like you
wasn't going to make it, but here you are now,
that was favor. When they wrote you off and said
you was never going to be nothing, but you turned

(05:32):
out to be something anyhow, that was favor. When they
laughed at you with your decision and now they're looking
at you at that same decision they laughed at and
they're shaking their head, that was favor. When they tried
to destroy you. When your enemies came for you. And
they couldn't do nothing with you or about you. That

(05:54):
was favor. God's unmerited favor. Quit tripping about the season
you in. Because you never know. Your season could turn
around tomorrow. But if you quit, you'll never find out.
Hang in there.
