Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on your uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
you all listening to the voice, come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I
thank God for it every day. I try to remember
that too, you know. I try to remember to be grateful.
I think gratitude is one of the things that helps
(00:23):
keep me grounded. You can go as far as you
want in life. If you don't mind who gets the credit. Well,
that applies to God too, don't it. I mean, you know, really,
if you don't mind who gets the credit. I'm surrounded
by very competent people. I'm surrounded by a lot of
people who work hard on their jobs, on their career,
(00:46):
who are dedicated employees and also just dedicated to their
families and you know, dedicated to their own set of aspirations.
I don't expect anybody to work for me forever. I
always look at my job opportunities as stepping stones because
I want everyone around me really to aspire to be more.
(01:08):
I mean, that's really the way I am. I'm not
any other way. I'm not trying to hold you to
this position, you know, tell you there's no room for
growth any of that. But even though I'm surrounded by
these people, I'm grateful that God placed them in my path,
(01:29):
in my life, But in my mind, in my spirit,
in everything in me, the credit still belongs to God.
I'm sorry, the credit still belongs to God. See if
you would, just for a moment, stop thinking about yourself,
(01:54):
just for a moment. I know that's hard, but just
for a moment, stop thinking about yourself. Realize that maybe
you are who you are because God is who he is.
Maybe that's the case. Have you ever considered that that's
the strongest possibility I can give to you? You know,
how do you think you the one that made it through?
(02:18):
How you think you the one after all of the
ignorant decisions we have made? And oh my goodness, let's
all be honest. Ain't we made some crazy decisions I'm
talking about man, I have made decisions so adverse to
my destiny and career, my promises. I've made some decisions man,
(02:40):
knowingly you hear me, knowingly do something wrong, And in
spite of all that, I'm still here standing. Okay, come
on now, really, really, all the dirt you'd bene done,
everybody done dirt, all the mistakes you've made you in
a position you in today because of what? Because you
(03:03):
all that? Because you work harder than anybody else. Look,
I work hard, I'll be I'll tell you in a minute.
I work hard. But I don't think I'm the hardest
working person out there. I'm pretty sure somebody done work
way harder than I have. So okay, so you work hard? Okay, cool?
I got all that. But man, what about his grace
(03:27):
and his mercy? What about his favor? How many times, man,
you done relied on that even when you ain't know
you was relying on it? How many times? Man, God
just shown you mercy? You ain't even deserve it? Do
you know how many things I've done wrong? I just
ain't get caught at it? You know. Let me see
(03:49):
how simple I can be here. You speed, you Jaywall.
You lie to police when you get pulled over that
you wasn't speed, and you go according to argue you
wasn't speeding when you was. You make U turns. I'm
just doing traffic violations. Now let's get off traffic for
(04:11):
a second. Let's get on human violations. You talk about
people when you're not supposed to. You indulge yourself in
gossip even when you don't really have all the facts.
You pass judgment, You lust for people that don't belong
to you. You say things to people that you're not
(04:34):
supposed to say. So look all of us, we all,
we're all guilty. Now. See I'm not saying you do
all of that, but I'm saying I'm pretty sure I
hit you somewhere in there, just somewhere in there. You
donet lied before, you know you lied recently. I mean,
(04:55):
come on, And I'm just saying so with all that
in mind. See, I'm just looking at the little thing
we do that we don't get busted for. Not to
mention the chips you stole when you was a kid
and nobody caught you. Well that elevated didn't, And some
of y'all just didn't stop stealing, and next thing you know,
you was in a car. Now you're sitting somewhere you
don't want to be sitting because of a decision you made.
(05:16):
But through his grace and mercy, couldn't it have been worse? Though?
Without his grace and mercy, could not it have been worse?
I know two dudes that got caught in the garage
one time trying to break in somebody's house, and the
person in the house they broke into just happened to
have a gun and held them in the garage, caught
them and held them to the garage to the police car.
(05:38):
That's Grace and Mercy right there, because they had all
full right to shoot these two people, but they didn't.
They're Grace and Mercy. See, all of us have benefited
from his grace and mercy. All of us have done
or wrong, committed a sin, broken the law, and somehow,
through his grace and mercy, got by, doing drugs, buying drugs,
(05:58):
slanging drugs, doing something, got by, jumped on somebody for
no reason, got by, you know. So see how you
figure with all that that can go on in your life.
And then hold on, let me throw a couple more
at you. You can't wake yourself up in the morning,
mister big shot. You don't have the ability to control
(06:22):
the breaths that you take. Really, mister big shot, really,
let's get real basic with it now. You can't wake
yourself up in the morning. That's favor, that's Grace, that's Mercy,
that's him allowing you to wake up, just hoping we
(06:43):
get it right. You know God spared me through all
the dirt I was doing, just hoping one day? Man,
can you just straighten up a little bit? When I
finally straightened up, and I'm gonna just say it straightened
up a little bit. See, I ain't straightened up all
the way. Say I ain't gonna sit here and tell
you that I just straightened up a little bit. He
started blessing me. So the more blessings I got start going, Man,
(07:05):
maybe I'll try straighten up a little bit more. So
I straightened up a little bit more. I still got
a long way to go, but I'm straighter than I
was now. When people judging me and as they will,
and they do, cause that ain't right, but they do,
and I ain't walking just the way they walk. Then
here come to criticism. I get it all the time.
Stop wanting credit all the time, and give out some
credit where credit is due instead of having somebody patting
(07:28):
you on your back all the time. Why don't you
tell God, tell people it was really was God, man,
that you don't really know how you made it? That
really man, you have no explanation for your success, or
you have no explanation why you still exist in today.
Why don't you tell somebody it was God today. Don't
be ashamed. It's the truth, ain't it. I mean, really, man,
let's give God some credit here. Give God the credit
(07:51):
and the glory and the honor. And like that plaque said,
you can go as far as you want in life
if you don't mind who gets the credit. All right, listening,
