Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, huh, I sure will come on it. Everybody
y'all listening to the voice, come on, dig me out.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man.
Oh man, ain't God good? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yes, hey, you know I want to remind everybody today
that you got to keep pressing forward.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
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.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I don't care how dark and 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 gonna get it is you got to stay
in the race. You know, you've heard it said a
thousand times. The race isn't given to the swift, but
to him that didn't do it to the end. You
got to stay with it whatever it is. I don't
know what it is for you, but whatever it is,
(01:05):
you got to stay with it. Because Quentin don't let
you see the end result.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Give it up. Don't let you see the end results.
Turning back, don't let you see the end.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
The only way to see the end results is you
got to finish the race, because the victory may be
nearer than it seems. There's a poem I learned in
college under some stressful situations 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
(01:39):
struggler has given up when he might have captured the
victor's cup, and he learns 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
(02:04):
the the goal is often nearer than it seems to
a faint and a faltery man, 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
(02:26):
near when it seems afar, so stick to the fight
when your heart is tit. It's when things seem worse
that you mustn't quit. That 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. But you know I'm talking to you today
(02:47):
from the standpoint of encouragement. I want I want to
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, 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
(03:08):
plan ahead a little bit. A job requires that you
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, and that's
what it's called on your job, just put in. You
may dress it up some other way, but the common
sense you have to put in. You got to do
(03:29):
that because the 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 are now
have a position opening, you got to put.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
In for that.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
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.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
So you have to put in for a promotion on
a lot of jobs.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
If you want some days off, a couple of days here,
a couple of days there, you got to put in
for that.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
But all of these are things that you want.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
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 all accepted this as this is the
way it's done.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
You want to raise, you have to put in for
a raise.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
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. Now
they got to they can tell you yeah, your name.
You want a promotion, same thing, you want some days off,
same thing. 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
(04:45):
much aware of 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. See, you want
some more of this, some more that you got to
(05:07):
put in with God.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
You put in with your job.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You go down there and ask that man what you want,
and you ain't got no problem following the rules.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Well, put in with God what you want?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
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? 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 what you want,
(05:39):
you got to put in for that.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You got to put in. You got to go to
God and put in for that.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
See, we'll follow the rules set to us up, set
us up and 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 and raises than God got
(06:05):
for you for your life. Man, you keep putting too
much faith in Man, that's what's wrong with us. I
show hope he give me his raise. I'll show I
don't even go to people with that. I go to
God about it. Then God touch 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 magic trick.
It's just a real simple understanding. Why would you not
(06:28):
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 job? 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?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
It really does. And I'm just a common sense God.
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Look, I 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.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Oh I may look good to you now. They look
like he got his shine going on.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And I am grateful to God for life that I
got now because this show ain't the one I had,
but I got news for you. It ain't the one
I thought I was gonna have until I put in
for it. I ain't see none of this until I
put in for it. And you know, as I saw
it shaping and forming, and I said, 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
(07:19):
radio show? Lord, I make it happen. If it's in
your will. I put in for it. Now I'm working
my tail off now because that's a part of it.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
See.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
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 for all the blessings that's due me. If God's
passing out of raising blessings, I'm lined up. He passing
(07:50):
out extra checks down at the job. I'm lined up
because I'm putting in. Why don't you put in too?
Come on, y'all, talk to God. He loved to hear
Speaker 2 (07:59):
