Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come come on. Uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
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, if I have no other
explanation of my existence and where I stand in this
(00:29):
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. I am who I
am and where I am simply because God is who
(00:51):
he is. If it was not for God, I would
have no testimony for you, because I would have failed
every single time, plain, pure and simple. 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.
(01:14):
Because of His favor. See now, He shows us favor
in life because of a combination of things I've discovered.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
And this is not the whole answer to life.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
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.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
But here it is. If you take faith and you
combine it.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
With an incredible work ethic, then God has the greatest
opportunities to show you favor. That's the best way I
can explain success to you from my standpoint. It is
the combination of faith and work that produces the most
(02:10):
opportunities for God to show you favor. 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
(02:31):
God will see you through. That the God is 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
(02:53):
what you want God to do? See, you can 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
(03:14):
that don't have the right payoff right in 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.
Sometimes the reward is coming later on up the road.
But the only way you can know that is if
you got to You got to apply the faith and
(03:37):
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 1 (03:50):
That's what faith is. You know you're standing at let
me give you exam.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
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 1 (04:08):
Is what?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Pretty good? Because guess what the signs say walk. You
can see the other side. 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 1 (04:25):
That's not why I'm talking to you about.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
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 God wouldn't
bring me this far to leave me. That God is
a true and 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
(04:50):
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 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
(05:10):
his voice talking to you, if it's the right thing
to do, if it's sin in it, it's.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Not God talking to you. Kill it.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
You can shut it down. You ain't got to wonder
about it. Go down there, 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 you and what you're doing is
(05:41):
just and 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. He's
another one. When you're going somewhere, when you're on the
road to going somewhere, and you know the somewhere that
(06:01):
you're 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
(06:24):
challenging when it becomes.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
All three of those things.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
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
(06:51):
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 wanted to ease back into
(07:13):
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 have
(07:34):
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 that, all of that wheat
you've been sowing all of that hard work you've been
(07:55):
put in. God to pay it off, and he'll pay
it off in ways that you don't even see comment. Okay, cool,
you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
Come come on. Uh huh, I sure will.
