Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
you all listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey oh Man got a radio show.
Man got a radio show, and a whole lot mold too, Man.
God is good to me. I have no other explanation,
(00:20):
if I have no other explanation of my existence and
where I stand in this thing called life, except if
it was not for the goodness of God Almighty. If
it was not for His grace and his mercy, There's
no way I could exist the way that I do.
I will not be who I am or where I am.
(00:41):
I am who I am and where I am simply
because God is who he is. If it was not
for God, I would have no testimony for you, because
I would have failed.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Every single test plain, pure and simple.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I can sit here today and tell you flat out
that it is purely because of God's grace and mercy
that I exist today, because of His favor. See now,
He shows us favor in life because of a combination
of things I've discovered.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And this is not the whole answer to life.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I can assure you as not, but this is a
combination that I've grown to understand better and better, and
I wish I had gotten it earlier in my life.
But here it is. If you take faith and you
combine it with an incredible work ethic, then God has
(01:50):
the greatest opportunities to show you favor. That's the best
way I can explain success to you from my stafpoint.
It is the combination of faith and work that produces
the most opportunities for God to.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Show you favor.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
See a lot of times we want God to bless us,
but we ain't doing nothing for Him to bless So
now we sideways in the equation a little bit. But
see if you had the faith in God that God
can do anything but fail, that God will get you through,
that God will see you through. That the God is
(02:31):
the God you serve, is the greatest giver of all
good things. If you kept that faith intact through it all,
and you produced an incredible work ethic that allows the
most opportunities for God to show you favor. See without
that what you want God to do? See, you can
(02:52):
have faith and be sitting at the house watching TV.
There's nothing being produced, no opportunities for God to show
you favor. And you got to do some things man
that you are uncomfortable doing or don't feel like doing,
or something that don't have the right payoff right in
(03:13):
front of your face, with the faith that it'll pay
off later on. See, too many people are working for
the right now reward, and the right now reward is
not how it works.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Sometimes the reward is coming later on up the road.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
But the only way you can know that is if
you got to You got to apply the faith and
see the reason. You don't know that that it's coming
like that, or you have to have faith to believe
that it's coming. Because faith is the belief in things
that you cannot see.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
That's what faith is. You know you're standing at let
me give you exam.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You standing at the crosswalk with a walk sign on
it and the sign flashing on the corner. Don't walk
then that the signs say walk? What do you think
your chances are making it across that street?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Is what? Pretty good? Because guess what the signs say walk.
You can see the other side.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
There's other people in the cross walk walking, So guess
what You strike out blindly? It don't take a lot
of faith to get across that streets.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
That's not what I'm talking to you about.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I'm talking about the faith, the belief in things that
you cannot see, the faith that what I'm doing today,
I believe in my heart of heart that.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
God wouldn't bring me this far to leave me.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
That God is a true, in living God, that he
keeps his promises, that later on, there's things that I'm
working towards right now gonna pay off later on. See,
too many people want the reward right now. See that's
not the exhibition of faith. If it's the right thing
to do, if it's if it's a good thing to do,
if it's a just thing to do. See, if it's
(05:01):
sin in it, it ain't God. You can just clear
it on up right there. You can stop all the wondering.
If that's his voice talking to you, if it's the
right thing to do, if it's sin in it, it's
not God talking to you.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Kill it.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
You can shut it down. You ain't got to wonder
about it. Go down there and secret venge that ain't God.
Go tell them off when you see him, that ain't God.
Anything that's got sin in it is not God's voice
telling you to do it. So you can kill that
conversation today that's how you know. But if you are aligning
yourself up, man, and what you're doing is just and
(05:38):
right and correct and pleasing in the sight of God,
it'll pay off for you later on. And see, here's
the best way I can tell to you. His Another
one when you're going somewhere, when you're on the road
to going somewhere, and you know the somewhere that you're
(05:58):
trying to get to. Let's say you've set a goal
or vision for yourself. You know where you want to
get to. You got a good idea, and you own
your way to going there. Listen to me when it
gets hard, and it is going to get hard, when
it gets difficult, and it is going to get difficult,
when it becomes challenging, and it is going to become
(06:21):
challenging when it becomes.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
All three of those things.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
When it don't look like it's gonna happen, don't stop
and complain so much. But see, I know He don't
bless me. But in the middle of it, man, I
felt a little heavy. And you got to be careful
when it gets hard for you, because you'll find yourself complaining.
And when you complain, and see what you can't do
is you can't complain so much that you forget that
(06:48):
the place that you're trying to go to you actually
own your way there still. See, don't get caught up
into complaining and then lose sight of your blessing that's
actually happening to you. What really, man, of all the
times to register a complaint to God, to sit up
and go, hey, man, I didn't I wanted to ease
(07:09):
back into this thing. Ease back in, man, you in.
It's a tornado world around you. You ain't got time to
ease back in. You gots to go on and jump
back in it. It is what it is. To whom
much is given, much is required. Always appreciate the blessings.
Don't get so caught up in the complaints that you
lose sight of the blessings. Man, God got a lot
for you in your life. Man, but you got to
(07:31):
have them two things, y'all. You got to take that
faith and you got to ply a crazy work ethic
to it. And that creates the most opportunities for God
to show you favor. And when God starts showing your favor, Man,
all them seeds you planted, all of that, all of
that wheat you've been sowing, all of that hard work
(07:52):
you've been put in. God to pay it off, and
he'll pay it off in ways that you don't even
see coming. Okay, cool.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
