Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, I sure will. Good morning everybody you are
listening to the voice, come on, dig me now. One
and all is Steve Harvey. Man got a radio show.
Steve Harvey got a radio show because God in the
blessing business. Yeah, that's all. I'm just a recipient. Steve

(00:22):
Harvey got a radio show because God is in the
show you favor business. He showed me some favor. Steve
Harvey got a radio show because God is in a
forgiving business. God then forgave me thousands and thousands of times,

(00:43):
you know. And I say that as a big number
like that, because it's probably true. God is a forgiving God.
That's how it exists today, and that's how you exist today.
And one of the things I want to remind you
about even in existing today. You know, Joel Oste has
a book i'll call It's Your Time. I love this book.

(01:04):
It's called It's Your Time. And that's kind of what
I want to touch on today. And I want to
remind you all that it's still your time. See, you know,
there's look. You know, they've got unsuccessful people have created
a lot of sayings to justify our failures as people. Well,

(01:30):
my ship has passed. That was created by a person
who did not quite make their goal in the amount
of time that they had set for. So to justify it,
here comes this great, seemingly very clever saying, and a
lot of us adapt, well, my ship has passed, so

(01:50):
we adopt that. Here's another one. Well, I guess it
just wasn't meant to be. That sounds good, don't it,
Because they mix it up with a little bit of
faith based in it. I guessed it was. Well, here's
another one. I guess if God wanted it for me,
i'd have it. Are you serious? Man? Are you serious?

(02:14):
You're actually gonna use that one to justify where you
are in life? Man? That that's so, that's so not
the case. I want to remind everybody today that it's
still your time. That you know, your ship hasn't sailed,

(02:35):
you didn't miss all of your opportunities. There's others. It's
still your time. You know you still got a chance,
you still have a shot. Here's a good one. You
still have hope, you do, all of you. As long

(02:58):
as God is who he is is, there's always hope
for you. You can never lose sight of that. You
can never let the devil win that battle that there
is no hope for you and cause you to do
something that's unthinkable. I'm just gonna cash in the chips.

(03:20):
I'm gonna take my life. I'm gonna commit suicide. No no, no,
wait a second, wait a second. Are you for real?
That's not God talking to you. That's something wrong and
it's not coming from him. It's still your time. You
still got a chance. There's always hope. But listen to me.

(03:41):
You got to move and you got to move on it.
So many people are not getting the full benefit of
their life, and so many people are not getting all
the blessings that God has for because you keep waiting
on the perfect time. Man. How many times have I
heard people come to me and say, hey, man, I'm

(04:02):
just waiting on everything to line up, right, Man, I'm
waiting on the perfect time to get Hey, can I
tell you something. If I were waiting on the perfect time,
I wouldn't be hardly any of the things that I've become.
And one of my greatest blessings was marrying Marjorie. I

(04:25):
wouldn't even have married Marjorie if I was waiting on
the perfect time because I had gone through what I
thought was enough misery to cover my entire lifetime. And
so when I was first divorced, I just said, man,
it's gonna be five six years before I do this again.

(04:48):
I said it two years later I was married. But
guess what, man, it wasn't the perfect time. I didn't
have my ducks, all my ducks lined up in a row.
It was still some things I needed to clean up.
I even told her, it's some things I want to
clean up out of my life before you know it's

(05:11):
it's I want I want to make sure I got
all the stars a line up. You know I want to.
I want to waiting till all the ducks are in
a row. I was waiting on the perfect time if
I had not stopped, and Marjorie and I had set
out and said to each other there'll be no perfect time.

(05:31):
And then she said, I'll go through with you whatever
you're going through. That was it. I took a chance.
The ducks were not lined up in a row. Had
a lot of baggage in my life, man. I wanted
to try to clear up. I wanted to do some
things financially different. I wanted to just get rid of

(05:53):
some residue I had in my life. She said, no,
we'll do it together, because ain't no perfect time. And
guess what it wasn't. So if you're out there waiting
on the perfect time to do something, it may not come.
There is no such thing as waiting on the perfect time.
I've said this one hundred times and here comes one

(06:14):
oh one. The road to success is always under construction.
You ain't finna go out there and there ain't no
barrels on the road. You're not going out there and
not running to detools signs. You're not going out there
without seeing the men working sign to get off. You're
not going out there to see it. So guess what,
stop waiting on the stars are gonna man, this is

(06:35):
a perfect time to do it now. If you're waiting
on the perfect time, that could be one of your
biggest problems. You're still waiting. You have got to move
and you've got to move on it, and you've got
to make a decision to go now. God will get
you through everything necessary for you to get through. But
you can't quit though. See there's a part you can't

(06:58):
quit just because the roads you're under construction. You can't
get off at the exit. Because you're tired of all
the bump of the bumper traffic. It's that way. Get
you some God, like I said, get you some God,
and go on and go see what your life can
be like. So stop waiting on the perfect time, stop
waiting on the stars to align themselves. You got to

(07:20):
move and you got to move on it. Get you
some God, apply some faith and get started. And remember
when you get out there, coming towards your goal. The
road to construct, the road to success is always under construction.
If it was easy, everybody would be it. Stop expecting
it to be easy. Come on out here, get up
in this thing. It's funky out here. Yeah I got

(07:42):
all that. It's hard out here. Yeah I got all that.
But what you want to do, man, Huh, what you
wanna do? You're gonna push your chips up to the window.
It ain't time for that. You still got time, you
still got a chance. There's always hope, there's always God.
That's my conversation today here the Steve Harvey Morning Show
