You gotta turn I can't. I got to turn the
(01:41):
mouth turn.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
You probably got to turn the mouth mount turn a
wad of the mony up.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Look me, come.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Come on, you'll think that. Uh huh? I sure, well,
good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on
dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a
radio show. I was had my head down and it
was thinking of what I wanted to say this morning.
(02:19):
But it kind of, uh, it's kind of be something
I've lived for a long time, and you know, for
a long time, you know, I had a lot of
faith in people. You know. It's strange too, because you know,
you know, my mother was a Sunday school teacher, so
of course I grew up around knowing, uh, scriptures and
(02:43):
things like that. Not not a lot of them, but
you know, the ones I retained. But having her as
a mother was was a huge help and understand about faith.
But even with that, as I grew up, I began
to put a lot of faith in people, and you know,
I figured, uh, you know, just like everybody else, you know,
(03:04):
man if I could just meet this person, or if
I could just sit down with that person, or man
if I could just get this person to hear my ideal,
or man if just if this person could hear my track,
or man if I could just get this in the
hands of somebody in the know. I was, like everybody else,
I thought that way. You know, I actually thought that
(03:26):
if I could get in a certain situation with a
certain person, that if a certain person were to meet me,
that you know, it could change everything for me. Oh man,
Oh how wrong I was? Oh how wrong I was?
How long did I spend feeling that way? And how
many of you out there possibly have felt that way before?
(03:49):
You know, like even in a relationship, this is the
person for me, and you know, you just lay claim
to that, you know, not necessarily being a fact, but
you just lay claim to it. This is the person
and for me, this is the person that I want
to spend the rest of my life with. You know,
sometimes you know, we just lay claim and stuff, and
it's not always what's in our best interest or it's
not always a fact. It's just what we decided we wanted.
(04:13):
And I was guilty of that just like anybody else.
And I spent a lot of years in my life
putting faith in people. Man, if I could tell you
anything this morning, it's to stop putting your faith in
people and put your faith in God where it counts
the most. I mean, you can get something out of
this one. See, here's a deal about a relationship with God.
(04:35):
It's the same all the time. He never changes. His
word is one hundred percent absolute. His word doesn't have
loopholes in it, none of that. It's this is what
it is. He's very clear. Now, you can deviate off
your end of a bargain, but it don't stop what
he says from being true. But if he asked you
(04:57):
to do something, if God asked you to be a
certain way, to do a little something a certain way,
and you don't do it that way, then you know
you could still possibly get by for a while. But
don't you understand that his end of the deal stays
the same, and as long as you're not doing it
the way you're supposed to, the results are not going
(05:17):
to be what you wanted to be And I did
this for years and years and years, and I counted
on people, and you know, I got myself in a
lot of situations. And I got out one a dire
situation that I'd been in for a number of years.
But he had protected me from years prior to that.
I didn't even know what was going on. And then
he made it, made me aware of the problem. And then, man,
(05:41):
Lord have mercy, I was in a dismal situation. And
then at the end of the year, I was free,
free from it all. But it was a decision that
I had made that led up to that, and in
going through that process, I had to learn something. Man.
I learned a lot about people. See, if you want
to learn about your friends, if you want to learn
(06:03):
about your people people around you, Get yourself in some trouble,
get yourself in a situation, oh man, you start looking around,
man to feel get real clear when you're in trouble.
The feel clear is out when you're in doubt, when
you don't know what to do, when you need help it,
get real clear on the play and field, then don't it. Ah.
(06:25):
But when things is going right, it's time for a party.
We throwing a celebration. We gonna we're gonna do one
down here. Oh man, there's plenty of people on the field.
But but but get yourself in a situation. You find
out rather quickly that oh no, oh no, everybody ain't here.
And that's when I started learning. And I'm telling you,
(06:46):
I had to start learning this for real until I
finally got it to stop putting my faith in people
and put all the mind in God where it counts
the most. Now is that to say that there are
people that you can't trust. No, that's not what I'm saying.
I ain't say you can't trust him, but you can't
dump your faith in them. I got it all riding
on what he say. I got it all riding on
(07:09):
what she say. No, no, uh uh no, I hear
you saying it. But I'm gonna keep my own this
situation because I hear you saying it. But I'm gonna
take this faith of mine and instead of putting it
in people, I'm gonna put it in God where it
counts the most. Because his word is absolute. What he
(07:31):
say he's gonna do, he gonna do what he says.
He's not gonna tolerate, he's not gonna tolerate. Now, you
can make it, you can make it tolerable for yourself,
but he's not gonna tolerate it. And that's just the
end of the line. And so you know, I'm wondering
how many people out there find themselves in a situation
like me. Or maybe you've gotten yourself in a situation
because you put your faith in some people and now
(07:52):
you wound up in a different type of situation. Now,
let me ask you where the people at the only
one that I found when I was in my deepest trouble,
when me and my wife were in our darkest situation,
was God. It was the only one, was the only
one who was just right there, right there all the
(08:14):
way through. Now, let me explain something to you. Because
you have this relationship with God, it does not mean,
it does not mean now that it won't get it
won't still be a situation, you understand. But what He
will do is protect you during that period. He'll cover
(08:37):
you during that period that it is a situation. He
will give you the strength to overcome the situation when
it turns into a situation. Then when He cracks it
open for you and the sun is bright and shining.
What he don't want you to do is when it
gets sunny again, to forget about him, who was there
when it was dark for you. See, I used to
(08:59):
do that too, you know. I was Oh, man, I
did it. I'm telling you right now, I did it.
But I'm telling you man, when I learned a very
serious lesson and I watched some people I thought were
friends of mine just sort of casually remove themselves from
the situation. Then I said, okay. Me and Marjorie looked around.
(09:21):
We said, okay, it's just me, you and God. And
when we started conducting ourselves accordingly. So when it's sunny
for us, we remember God. We stay prayerful, we keep
talking to him. We thank him for the sunshine, we
thank him for the dark days that he allowed us
to do, who allowed us to survive it and turn
it into sunny days. And we talked to him constantly
(09:44):
to protect us of our future enemies. And that's what
the deal is. So if I was everybody, I would
stop putting your faith in people and put your trust
in God where it really does count the most, it
really really does. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
