Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody
you are listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey man oh man got a
radio show.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
God so big to me, man, I just have to
tell you about it. I can't help it. It's rather
obvious to me how big, how good God is. He's
absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain, you know, Man, I
want to share something with you today. You know, if
you're out there, start your mission today. Why don't we
(00:39):
all decide together better?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yet? Let's just kill that cause you don't that just individually?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Look you listening, everybody's got something that's that's on the
table that they haven't yet attacked yet. What are you
waiting for? Start your mission today? Stop the procrastination now.
And if you and if you allow prassic excuse man,
if you allow procrastination to set in, then that that
(01:07):
that allows then which is a weakness, you know, but
that allows the devil then to just really do his thing.
Because an idle mind is the devil's playground. So if
you ain't working on your goals, dreams, aspirations, or visions,
you just you're just waking up seeing how today gon
go or the devil. He got plenty for it for
you to do.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
See.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
But if you get your mind right on your goal
and your focus and your purpose, then you can go
on about your business. Then when the distraction comes, you
can catch yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Don't mean you ain't gonna fall privy or fall prey
to some of your distractions, because you will, but you
will have a goal in mind and aspiration that makes
you go. Hold on, man, I got to stay focused
here because what I really want while I'm really trying
to go the thing that I'm really after, this new
little thing that's being introduced, this don't fit into the equation.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Let me keep it moving, or you may step off
the line for a little while.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
You know, Like I said yesterday, your thing about God
is he's so forgiving that if you get out of.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Line, he'll hold your place. See that's the real cool thing.
A lot of people do that for you too.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Like I said, if you're at the movie theater or
you at the amusement park and you're in the line
and you forget something, if you politely ask the person
behind you, hey, man, I gotta run to my car left,
something would you hold my place. Most people say, fine,
Ye'll go ahead, and when you come back, they don't
have a problem. See your problem is is you want
to get out the line, go do something, then come
back and just get up in the line further up
(02:33):
than you were, or cut somebody. Now you got a
problem because see everybody looking at you now like hi,
woa partner? Where you come from? You know the line
start back here? But see the thing with God is
God don't do that. God don't say the line start
back here. God holds your place. When you make a
mistake and you fall off the line, God holds your place.
(02:54):
But if you ain't got no dreams aspiration, if you
ain't got no place, what he holding for you? See
I mean He got a place for you, but you
gotta come to it. See some people if well, here's
what I'm saying. If you got a goal of aspiration
to dream and you fall off track momentarily, you can
get back to that because God knows where you left off.
(03:18):
Now you may have to accomplish a few more things
since you stopped for a long period of time, but
God knows where you left off. You can get back
on track. I look, man, this dream of being on
TV since I was a kid, and it got off track.
Now it got off track. I just kept it as
one of the dreams. And in some real dog moments
when it looked like it wasn't gonna happen, all I
(03:41):
was hanging on to is just to hope that one
day it could. But that's what faith is really about.
Faith is the belief in things that you cannot see.
But faith gives you the confidence to keep hoping. Man,
Sometimes it just keep hope alive. Sometimes you heard Jesse Jackson,
it just keep hope alive. Sometimes, man, it's just the hope.
(04:05):
I was hanging on a hope. And I'm talking about
when it got real ugly and funky out there for me,
when it looked like I wasn't gonna ever make it,
and all of the facts was in and everything pointed
in the direction you not gonna make it. You done
really messed up this time. Then I sat there and
I just hung on to the hope. But man, that's
(04:27):
what I'm saying. If you got a dream on aspiration
or vision or something, when you fall off track and
you want to go get back in line, God holds
your place. He knew I was off tracking, out of line,
but he said, Okay, here's where we stopped. You wanna
be on TV. Now, when you get it together and
you quit tripping and you come in your turn to me,
(04:48):
I'm gonna hold your place, put you back in line.
Then we're gonna finish the journey. That took me a
lot longer to get here than I wanted to. But
then it was necessary because I needed all of the
mishaps to happen to me along the way. When I
got on the radio one day, which I did not
see coming, Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all. That's
why I say it every day. See, because of this
radio show that I didn't see coming. Now I have
(05:10):
stories to tell, and I can tell you about me
better I can tell you about anybody. And I don't
been through enough whereas relatable where enough people can go
mad that happened to me. Appreciate you saying that that's
what it was for. See I get it now. See
at the time, though I didn't like what was happening
to me. At the time, I was really in total
(05:31):
disagreement with God on a lot of stuff he was
pulling off on me. But in essence, I was really
pulling it off on myself. But through his grace and mercy,
he kept me through all of my mistakes, all my
bad decisions, all my miscalculations, all my misfires, all the
times I knowingly stepped out.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
There and did wrong. He forgave me.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
He said, because man, if you ever come to me,
I have a plan for you that's going to be
far and above. It will supersede everything you've ever dreamed of.
That's what I did. I just got sick of me.
Goodn't sick of me? And I turned it over to God.
And then God started working and here I am today.
(06:17):
Nows he threw with me yet? Nope? Have I arrived yet?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Nope?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
But guess what the journey is cool? And then you
know what I found out. That's kind of what it's
like in life. If you done walked off the cliff
in life and you ain't got no God in your life,
it's like not having a parachute. You step off the
cliff and you just free falling. We all now that
(06:42):
fag gets you closer to the grave, right see, We
all heading to the grave from the moment we're born.
But the cool thing about a relationship with God is
when you step off the cliff and you got God
here a parachute. You still going down, but it's a
nice ride. You guide and you're glide, and you're softly,
you enjoying. You look around, you're smiling, You're meeting other
(07:03):
people along the way. You're floating over here to ski
a little while. You over there at the beach for
a little while. You mess around over here, you get
to go out the country a little bit on your
parachuting and all that, and God just helps you. Your
descent appear more like a rise and more like a
euphoric fall, instead of not having no God in your
(07:25):
life and you just walking off that cliff every day,
free falling. Ain't got no cord, You steady pulling, you
hollering the whole way because you to mess around with yourself,
and ain't let God come into your life and provide.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
A parachute for you.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I would rather have a parachute, since I got to
jump every day, than to not have one. God has
been like a parachute for me. Ask me where that
came from. I can't tell you, But like I always say,
most good things that happen in my life that I
can't explain is usually him to the
