Steve Harvey got a radio show man. Oh man, ain't
god good? Yeah? Yes, hey, you know I want to
remind everybody today that you got to keep pressing forward.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Man.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I know it gets difficult out there sometimes, but you
got to keep pressing forward. There's nothing else for you
to do. The option of quitting, turning back, giving up
it cannot be there. The thoughts can pop into your head,
but when they do, you got to pray about it.
But you got to keep pressing forward. You got to
keep it moving, man. I don't care how dark and
(02:43):
dirty it get for you. You got to somehow summon
it up within you to keep it moving, to keep
pressing forward. Because The only way you're gonna get it
is you got to stay in the race. You know,
you've heard it said a thousand times. The race dosn't
give it to the swift, but to him that didn't
do it to the end. You got to stay with
whatever it is. I don't know what it is for you,
but whatever it is, you got to stay with it
(03:04):
because Quentin, don't Quentin, don't let you see the end result,
give it up. Don't let you see the end results
turning back, don't let you see the end. The only
way to see the end results is you got to
finish the race. You got to stay in the race
because the victory may be nearer than it seems. There's
a poem I learned in college. Under some stressful situations
(03:25):
I've just said like that. There is a stanza in
this poem called don't Quit that says, often the goal
is nearer than it seems to a faint and a
faltering man, And often the struggler has given up when
he might have captured the victor's cup, and he learns
(03:46):
too late, when the night came down, how close he
was to the golden crown. Now that's just a stanza
in it. The poem is much longer than that. I
know the whole thing because I learned it. But I've
always remembered that poem that the goal is often nearer
than it seems to a faint and a faltering man.
(04:10):
And oftentimes the struggler has given up when he might
have captured the victor's cup, but then he learns too late,
when the night came down, how close he was to
the golden crime. And there's the last stands of the
poem says, it may be near when it seems afar,
so stick to the fight when your heart is ticked.
(04:32):
It's when things seem worse that you mustn't quit. That
poem is really it's an unknown author to the poem,
so if you want to look it up, it's called
don't Quit. The author is unknown. They never knew who
it was. But you know, I'm talking to you today
from the standpoint of encouragement. I won't. I want to
(04:52):
show you an analogy that I've tripped on this morning
when I was thinking about something I wanted and I
was thinking, you know, okay, if you have a job,
the way you have to do your job, your job
forces you to do this, So you can't just randomly
do this on your job. A job forces you to
plan ahead a little bit. A job requires that you
(05:15):
go through the procedures in order for something to happen
that you want to happen. Example, you want a vacation,
you have to put in for that vacation. You got
to do that because a job requires it. You got
to put in for your vacation. If you want a
promotion and you see it post it somewhere that we
(05:36):
are now have a position opening, you got to put
in for that. You just can't sit back and hope
they pick you, because they're probably going to pick the
person who wants it, who shows the initiative to go
get it. So you have to put in for a
promotion on a lot of jobs. If you want some
days off, a couple of days here, a couple of
(05:58):
days there, you got to put in for that. But
all of these are things that you want. You want vacations,
you want a day off here, and now you want
some promotions. If you want a raise, you have to
go in and request a raise. It requires an action
on your part on your job. And guess what, we've
(06:18):
all accepted this as this is the way it's done.
You want to raise, you got to go in and
have a meeting and take a request so you can
show your value to get to raise. You want a
vacation time, you got to put in for that, and
then they got to they can tell you, yeah, your name, Okay,
that's the deal with your job. Well, that's the deal
with your life too. That exact picture that I painted
for you that you're all so very much aware of
(06:39):
that you're very crystal clear on the rules and regulations
that you have no problem following him the same rules
for your life. What you mean by that, Steve, You
got to put in with God. You got to put
in for what you want with God. And it's as
simple as that you put in you want some more
of this, some more that you got to put in
with God. You put in with your You go down
(07:00):
there and ask that man what you want, and you
ain't got no problem following the rules. Well, put in
with God what you want? What your list? What's your request?
What do you really want? How much money you really
trying to make, where you really trying to live? What
kind of career and job would you really like to have?
What kind of person would you really like to be?
(07:21):
What type of family are you hoping and wishing for?
Who is the person you want in your life? What
type of person do you? What's the relationship you're looking for?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
What you want?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You got to put in for that. You got to
put in. You got to go to God and put
in for that. See, we'll follow the rules set up
by us in a system. But we simple rules are
putting in for your life. Man, we don't even do that.
I wish I would put in for a job and
not put in for God. You gotta be kidding me.
You think this man that has this company can has
more to offer to you in terms of vacation, promos
(07:52):
and raisers than God got for you for your life. Man,
you keep putting too much faith in Man, that's what's
wrong with us. I show hold be giving this raise.
I'll show I don't even go to people with that.
I go to God about it. Then God touched them
people's hearts. Then when I walk in there, it's already done.
That's how you capture this thing, folks. It's not a
(08:14):
magic trick. It's just a real simple understanding. Why would
you not put in with God? If you're gonna put
in on your job that don't make no sense. Where
you get the job from, where your boss get his
position from? Where did this company come from? So when
you peel back to but now that it all make
a lot of sense, don't it? It really does. And
I'm just a common sense god. You know. Look, I
(08:34):
don't have the education that a lot of people have,
but I gotta show show enough bunch of life experience though.
Oh I've been I've been getting smacked and knocked down
the majority of my life. Oh I may look good
to you now there look like he got his shine
going on. And I am grateful to God for my
life that I got now because this show ain't the
one I had, But I got news for you. It
(08:55):
ain't the one I thought I was gonna have until
I put in for it. I ain't seen none of
this till I put it in for it. And you know,
as I saw it shaping and forming, now I say, God,
could that really be happening? I wonder if you could
make me this, Lord, I was wondering, Man, could I
really have a syndicated radio show? Lord, I'm make it happen.
If it's in your will. I put in for it,
(09:15):
put in for it now. I'm working my tail off
now because that's a part of it. See. But then
God tells you that too. He says, faith without works
is dead. I'm working my behind off. But the big
thing is I put in for it. So I got
a bunch of more stuff that I don't put in
for God. I can't tell y'all what it is, but
oh Lord, have mercy. I'm in line. I'm putting in
(09:36):
for all the blessings that's due me. If God's passing
out of raising blessings, I'm lined up. He passing out
a promotion. He's going to promote some more blessings. I'm
lined up. He want to send me on a bigger vacation.
I'm lined up. He passing out extra checks down at
the job. I'm lined up because I'm putting in. Why
don't you put in too?
