Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on your.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody, y'all listening
to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and
only Steve Harvey man oh man got a radio show.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yeah, I do. God so big to me, man, I
just have to tell you about it. I can't help it.
It's rather obvious to me how big, how good God is.
He's absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain, you know. Man.
I want to share something with you today. You know,

(00:33):
if you're out there, start your mission today. Why don't
we all decide together better yet? Let's just kill that
cause you don't that just individually? Look you listening, everybody's
got something that's that's on the table that they haven't
yet attacked yet. What are you waiting for? Start your

(00:55):
mission today? Stop the procrastination now. And if you and
if you allow prassic excuse men, if you allow procrastination
to set in, then that that allows then which is
a weakness, you know, but that allows the devil then
to just really do his thing. Because an idle mind

(01:16):
is the devil's playground. So if you ain't working on
your goals, dreams, aspirations, or visions, you just you're just
waking up seeing how today gon go or the devil.
He got plenty for it for you to do. See.
But if you get your mind right on your goal
and your focus and your purpose, then you can go
on about your business. Then when the distraction comes, you
can catch yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Don't mean you ain't gonna fall privy or fall prey
to some of your distractions, because you will, but you
will have a goal in mind and aspiration that makes
you go. Hold on, man, I got to stay focused
here because what I really want while I'm really trying
to go the thing that I'm really after, this new
little thing that's being introduced, this don't fit into the equation.

(01:59):
Let me keep it moving, or you may step off
the line for a little while. You know, like I
said yesterday, you think about God, is he's so forgiving
that if you get out of line, he'll hold your place.
See that's the real cool thing. A lot of people
do that for you too, Like I said, if you're
at the movie theater or you at the amusement park
and you're in the line and you forget something, if
you politely ask some person behind you, hey, man, I

(02:20):
gotta run to my car. Left something, would you hold
my place? Most people say, fine, you'll go ahead and
when you come back, they don't have a problem. See
your problem is is you want to get out the line,
go do something, then come back and just get up
in the line further up than you work or cut somebody.
Now you got a problem because see everybody looking at
you now like hoy woa partner where you come from?

(02:40):
You know the line start back here? But see the
thing with God is God don't do that. God don't
say the line start back here. God hold your place.
When you make a mistake and you fall off the line,
God holds your place. But if you ain't got no
dreams aspiration, if you ain't got no place, what he
holding for you? I mean, He got a place for you,

(03:02):
but you gotta come to it. See some people, well,
here's what I'm saying. If you got a goal of
aspiration to dream and you fall off track momentarily, you
can get back to that because God knows where you
left off. Now you may have to accomplish a few
more things since you stopped for a long period of time,

(03:22):
but God knows where you left off. You can get
back on track. I look, man, this dream of being
on TV since I was a kid, and it got
off track. Now it got off track. I just kept
it as one of the dreams. And in some real
dog moments when it looked like it wasn't gonna happen,
all I was hanging on to is just the hope

(03:43):
that one day it could. But that's what faith is
really about. Faith is the belief in things that you
cannot see. But faith gives you the confidence to keep hoping. Man,
Sometimes it just keep hope alive. Sometimes you heard Jesse
Jackson say it, just keep hope alive. Sometimes, man, it's
just the hope. I was hanging on a hope. And

(04:07):
I'm talking about when it got real ugly and funky
out there for me, when it looked like I wasn't
gonna ever make it, and all of the facts was
in and everything pointed in the direction you not gonna
make it. You done really messed up this time. Then
I sat there and I just hung on to the hope.
But man, that's what I'm saying. If you got a

(04:29):
dream on aspiration or vision or something, when you fall
off track and you want to go get back in line,
God holds your place. He knew I was off tracking,
out of line, but he said, okay, here's where we stopped.
You want to be on TV. And when you get
it together and you quit tripping and you come and
your turn to me, I'm gonna hold your place, put
you back in line. Then we're gonna finish the journey.

(04:51):
That took me a lot longer to get here than
I wanted to. But then it was necessary because I
needed all of the mishaps to happen to me along
the way. I got on the radio one day, which
I did not see coming. Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all.
That's why I say it every day. See, because of
this radio show that I didn't see coming. Now I
have stories to tell, and I can tell you about

(05:13):
me better than I can tell you about anybody. And
I done been through enough whereas relatable, where enough people
can go mad that happened to me. Appreciate you saying
that that's what it was for. See, I get it now.
See at the time, though I didn't like what was
happening to me. At the time, I was really in
total disagreement with God on a lot of stuff he

(05:33):
was pulling off on me. But in essence, I was
really pulling it off on myself. But through his grace
and mercy, he kept me through all of my mistakes,
all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations, all my misfires,
all the times I knowingly stepped out there and did wrong.
He forgave me. He said, because man, if you ever

(05:56):
come to me, I have a plan for you, is
going to be far and above. It will supersede everything
you've ever dreamed of. That's what I did. I just
got sick of me. Goodn't sick of me? And I
turned it over to God. And then God started working
and here I am today. Now He threw with me.

(06:18):
Yet Nope, have I arrived yet? Nope? But guess what
the journey is cool? And then you know what I
found out. That's kind of what it's like in life.
If you done walked off the cliff in life and
you ain't got no God in your life, it's like
not having a parachute. You step off the cliff and

(06:39):
you just free falling. We all now that fag gets
you closer to the grave, right see, We all heading
to the grave from the moment we're born. But the
cool thing about a relationship with God is when you
step off the cliff and you got God here a parachute.
You still going down, but it's a nice ride. You
guide and you glide softly, You enjoy You look around,

(07:02):
you're smiling. You're meeting other people along the way. You're
floating over here to ski a little while. You over
there at the beach for a little while. You mess
around over here, you get to go out the country
a little bit on your parachuting and all that, and
God just helps you. Your descent appear more like a rise,
and the more like a euphoric fall, instead of not

(07:24):
having no God in your life and you just walking
off that cliff every day, free falling.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
It.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Ain't got no cord, You steady pulling, you hollering the
whole way because you to mess around with yourself and
ain't let God come into your life and provide a
parachute for you. I would rather have a parachute since
I got to jump every day, than to not have one.
God has been like a parachute for me. Ask me

(07:49):
where that came from. I can't tell you, But like
I always say, most good things that happen in my life,
that I can't explain its usually him. Steve Harvey Morning
