Speaker 1 (00:22):
You know? When I was in high school, you know,
my mother was Sunday school teaching until she passed. I
would walk out the door every morning on my way
to school, and my mother used to say, listen, tell me, son, hey,
don't forget. Today is the day that the Lord has made.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it. And you know,
I ain't think much of it. You know, it was
just my mama being religious. You know, Mom's spiritual woman,
(00:46):
So you know, I just took it as that. But
as I've gotten older, man, you know that's registered more
and more with me. Today is the date that the
Lord has made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
That's pretty cool, man.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
What better blessing will you get throughout the day than
the fact that he allows you to live and see
another day. See sometimes, man, when you're young, you don't
pay no attention to that. But all you got to
do is keep living, keep watching some people that you
know not be here anymore. Go to class reunions and
they smaller see people that you really loved. It meant
(01:20):
a lot till you leave this world, and all of
a sudden, man, immortality starts to matter a great deal
to you. Some of us learn this lesson sooner than others.
But I know when you're young, man, you know, you
think you're gonna be here for a while. You think
you got time to play around, You think you got
time to get it together, you got time to make
the mistakes. But man, oh man, I almost every full
(01:43):
blown adult that I know will tell you and have
said these words right here many times. And I want
to see the reason I'm saying is because I want
you to hear them, because you're gonna use them. If
I only knew then what I know now. Do you
know how many people have said those words right there?
Because in time, man, you gain so much wisdom. Oh
but it ain't like nobody didn't tell you, though somebody
(02:05):
told you back then.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Hey man, it's.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Best to buckle down now, he say, Hey man, you
better quit wasting time. Hey look, do your best at
all the times, you know, stop stop worrying about that
I'm telling you, son, in a minute, them clubs ain't
gonna mean nothing to you. In a minute, that going
out all the time ain't gonna mean nothing to you.
I can't tell you how many times I repeat it
to my kids. But man, today is a different day,
(02:28):
because today is the day that the Lord is made.
So he gave you a shot today. If you woke
up this morning, or if you're finishing your day on
your shift, he gave you a new day. Nothing bigger
than the fact that he woke you up today. Now,
why don't you do something about that? Why don't you
take advantage of it? How About if you start today?
(02:48):
How about if you stop hesitating today. How about if
you stop delaying it today. How about if you stop
procrastinating today. How about if you make today to day
that you go for it. I mean, man, let's all
just decide today. Let's go for it. Let's put forth
a maximum effort today. I mean, really, man, what you're doing? Look, man,
take advantage of this blessing of waking up do something today.
(03:11):
If you would just start the process, man, start that
business you always dreamed of. Go, look into that other
job you always yearn for. Go, get the training you
need to get the promotion. Man, go back to school, man,
go see what you need to do to lift yourself
to the next level. Stop waking up every day seeing
how it's gonna go, and start waking up and do
(03:32):
something about how it goes.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
If you make one step, he'll make two. But you
could people.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Talk about all the time, man, it seemed like you're
always getting a blessing. How man, when you talking to
a person, listen to this. If you talking to a
person and it seems like there's always a blessing coming
his way, let me tell you what that person doing.
That person is putting one foot in front of the next.
That person is putting forth some efforts out there. And
that's the only way God can bless you. God can
(03:59):
only bless you with your efforts. He can only put
his finger on the thing that you are doing or attempting.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
That's all he can help you with.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
He there are no jobs walking up to your door,
knocking on your door. But if you beating the pavement,
if you're sending in the apps, if you online scolaring
somewhere to work, somewhere to get a job, then God
can touch somebody's heart to hire you. But if you
sitting at the house every day, smoke every day, drinking,
but you wonder why you just can't get a job.
A couple times you the one out there. You got
(04:32):
to if you ain't got a job, you got to
look get go get one. Every day. You got to
go look for one every single day. You can't take
no days off. How about today? How about today? If
we decide today is the day that we're gonna make
the move. Today is the day that we stop delaying, hesitating, procrastinating.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Today is the day that we take.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
A step in the direction to do something for ourselves,
for our lives, for our family, for our wives, for
our children, for our community, for our school. Do something
than today. For crying out loud, man, stop sitting in
your own life, in just a stew of misery in
your own life.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I'm gonna tell you something.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
If you are in a state of confusion, if you
are troubling, if you're stuck on what to do next,
you let me tell you what's happening. You're not doing enough.
That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Man.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
See what I get in a place man where I
don't know what the next move is. It's because i'd
unusually stalled out. See, this is the way God works.
This is the way He's worked for me. Every time
I'm busy and I'm about the business of always trying
to live my creed, which is ABC.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
My motel is ABC. Always be closing.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I'm always working on something, something to close something. When
you're so busy with the business of improving yourself and
doing with yourself and becoming the best you you can be,
God is always working on your behalf. Behind sol I'm
seen of something that you're in the process of tempting
(06:04):
to close. But because you're not doing all you can do,
you're limiting you. You are because of your decision not
to give you all and all, you're limiting the opportunities
for God to put his finger on things in touch
them on your behalf. I don't know if the average
person really understands or knows what it takes to truly
(06:27):
be successful on whatever level you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But whatever that level is, I.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Don't care what a dollar amount you've got attached to it,
what level you got, if you have made the decision
that you're going to be successful. I think that a
lot of people, the average person does not know what
that means. Whatever level you've decided to be successful on. See,
that's your level of faith, that's where you see your
life at. Well, guess what you got to maximize your
(06:54):
efforts to even get to that level.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So listen to me.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
If you want to be successful at church, if you
want to be successful in your relationship, if you want
to be successful down at the day casser, if you
want to be successful at your college, if you want
to be successful on your job, guess what it's gonna
take all you got in that world to become a success.
I don't know why people think that. If you don't
(07:20):
want to be what somebody else said, you ain't got
to put forth that effort.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Now, Nah, I ain't wrong.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
You've got to put forth your maximum effort at whatever.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Role you trying to accomplish. Lord have mercy.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Man. How about today, though, y'all? How about today? Today
is a good one. Let's make today today. Let's get
out of that, Let's get on with it. Stop hesitating,
stop delaying, stop procrastinating, start today. Watch God have something
to put his finger on there. And that's all you're
trying to do, man, to line yourself up with God's grace.
(07:53):
You got to put out a lot of effort so
God can put his finger on something. You feel me today,
I sure hope you do, because I'm on one today.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Let's go. You're listening to The Steve Harvey Morning Show.
