Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on your Ah, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, Come on
digging now waning and only Steve Harvey Man got a
radio show?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Wow man, how good has God been to me? You know? Today?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Let me get right to it, because I'm kind of
feeling this today, and I'm pretty sure there's quite a
few of you who go through the same things today.
Today was just a little tough mourning for me because
I didn't want to leave home yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
You know, I want to stay home a little.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I'd just gotten home, you know, I gotta go again,
and sometimes, you know, just the.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Weight of all that you have to do just gets.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
On you sometimes and sometimes you don't feel like doing
it today.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
You know, I'm just talking to those who feel this
way every now and then, and I'm assuming that would
be everybody, because I don't know nobody who can just
plow through this thing without having those days. Well, what
do you do when it gets hard to stay up?
What do you do when it gets hard to be positive?
(01:11):
What do you do when it seems like things aren't
happening for you fast enough or in the timeframe that
you thought it was going what do you do? And
the reason that I guess I chose to speak about
this this morning is because I'm having one of those days.
Because I had one of those days yesterday. It's just
a tough day. I really can't explain it. It's nothing
(01:33):
really in particular bad happened. It's just I think the
weight of all that's going on started to feel heavy
to me. And so what do you do when you
have days like that? When it's hard to be positive,
when it's hard.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
To stay up?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Okay, here's what I had to start doing this morning.
Now I haven't completed it. Can I just be real
with you. I haven't completed it, but I am processing
it out because I know what to do.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
You know, been there, done that, I done, had that
pain before. I know what to do. You know, if
I sprang my finger, I know what to do.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
You know the first spraying I had, Oh Lord, I.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Thought it was broke. I thought I'd go be handicapped.
But now if I spray my finger, I know what
to do. So since I've been in this position, in
this hole so many times before, and God has always
gotten me through it, I decided I've got to start
the process today want to here are some things. Now
I'm going to get to the big one last. And
(02:38):
one of the things I do is I remember the plan,
sit down, and I consciously think about the goals I've set.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I go over them.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
See, I've gotten mine down on the iPad so I
can pull them out anywhere I am and pull them up.
And I've got two lists that I've made. I've got
a list of things that I know I can accomp
if I just keep working hard and if it's some
couple of things just fall into place that I can see.
Then I got a list of things that I'm planning
(03:09):
on accomplishing. And then I have a second list. And
the heading of this list is called only God can
help Me Now. And on this list it's things that
I'm aspiring for or things that I'm hoping to that
in order for them to happen, I absolutely have to
have God's help. That's my favorite list. It's the list
(03:35):
that I have of the things that I don't see
no way it can happen. I'm just operating on faith
and the hope that God hear me. And so sometimes, man,
when you got to when I have this list of
what only God can help me. Now that list is
stuff that I cannot see. I'm just operating on faith
(03:58):
that God has so much bigger in me, that he's
so much more capable than I am, that I can
actually acquire some things in my life, as He's proven
to me time and time again up to this point,
that he's willing to do for me. If I'm willing
to just give him some of my life. That's only
why I can explain my existence today. You know, I
(04:20):
began the conversation with my wife, how do I write
a book that.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Becomes so wildly successful? That would be God?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
That's only God, Because if you can plan to sit
down and write a wildly successful book, I'd have been done,
sat down and did it, and so would you, So
that would be God. How it got purchased to become
a movie when that was not my intent when I
wrote the book at all. Again, that would be God
(04:48):
right there. It has to be, because if I can't
explain it, and it is by no doing of my own,
did who did it? So when I get down in
days like this, I remember the goal, I remember the plan,
I remember the journey. I think about of all the
things God has brought me through. How did I even
get to this point? Yeah, I might be having a
(05:09):
little bumba of a day. Yeah I was a little
down yesterday. Yeah my bio rhythms is off, whatever they
want to call it. Yeah, I'm just having one of
those days. I feel a little bit heavy. I need
a vacation real bad. I need some time off to
just go and regenerate. But right now, man, I ain't
got that. So guess what I do. I gotta start
remembering the plan. I gotta start remembering the goals. I
(05:31):
gotta start thinking about all the things that God has
done for me and how He's brought me this far
and the blessings that I have instead of what I
don't have. And that's what I'm in the process of
doing this morning. And on the commercial breaks, I'm gonna
pull out my iPad and I'm gonna go over my
two lists, and I'm gonna reading my little list of
what I think I can accomplish, and I'm gonna really
(05:51):
read that only God can help me now list, because
that's the list that's big. That's the part where I've
been telling y'all. I say, quit telling God how big
your problems are. And start telling your problems how big
your God is. See, and that's what I got to
sit down and do this morning. And then sometimes, man,
you got to stay still. That's the other part. You
(06:13):
got to stay still. You gotta quit moving for a second,
because sometimes it feels like you're running on a treadmill
and you really ain't you going somewhere, but it feel
like you're running on a treadmill. Well, when you get
that feeling, sometimes you got to stay still. And then
when you stay still, sometimes you gotta fight to stay positive.
(06:34):
Sometimes you gotta fight not to let the devil win.
You're in a fight, mam. I told you this. Now
you're in a fight now. So he trying to get
you to get on that positive train so he can
get you off the faith train. So God's delivery package
that's coming to you built on your faith, that you
can shake your faith and get you to thinking negative
and then he wins.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
See.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So when you start feeling negative, just know that that's
the other force trying to throw you off track. And
when you get through it all that here is the key,
the big one. You want me to tell it to you,
You got to pray, man, you got to pray. You
got to take it to God. You got to say, God,
look I'm having one of these days. I need your help.
I got business to take care of. You got blessings
in front of me. You got stuff you can ship
(07:15):
to me. You got blessings and packages that's on the way.
I need to be sitting on Faith Streets so I
can receive the delivery when it gets there. What I
don't want to do is be it on be undoubted
way or lack of understanding Parkway, or Pity Parkway or
some street like that, and the package keep going by.
(07:35):
I need to be standing and sitting on Faith Street
so when you drop that package down to me, I
can go on and get it. You feel me. You
got to pray. You got to stay still. You gotta
fight to stay positive. You gotta remember the plan. You
got to go over the goals. Come on, man, God
and brought you too far, Come on, pick yourself up today.
