Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on your Ah huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
y'all listening to the voice? Come on? Did me now
one and only Steve Harvey Man got a radio show? Wow? Man?
How good has God been to me? You know? Today?
Let me get right to it, because I'm kind of

(00:20):
feeling this today, and I'm pretty sure there's quite a
few of you who go through the same things today.
Today was just a little tough morning for me because
I didn't want to leave home yesterday. You know, I
wanted to stay home a little. I'd just gotten home,
you know, I gotta go again, and sometimes, you know,

(00:40):
just the weight of all that you have to do
just gets on you sometimes and sometimes you don't feel
like doing it today. Huh. You know, I'm just talking
to those who feel this way every now and then,
and I'm assuming that would be everybody, because I don't
know nobody who can just plow through this thing without

(01:00):
having those days. Well, what do you do when it
gets hard to stay up? What do you do when
it gets hard to be positive? What do you do
when it seems like things aren't happening for you fast
enough or in the timeframe that you thought it was
going what do you do? And the reason that I

(01:22):
guess I chose to speak about this this morning is
because I'm having one of those days. Because I had
one of those days yesterday. It's just a tough day.
I really can't explain it. It's nothing really in particular
bad happened. It's just I think the weight of all

(01:42):
that's going on started to feel heavy to me. And
so what do you do when you have days like that?
When it's hard to be positive, when it's hard to
stay up? Okay, here's what I had to start doing
this morning. Now I haven't completed it. Can I just
be real with you. I haven't completed it, but I

(02:05):
am processing it out because I know what to do.
You know, been there, done that, I done, had that
pain before. I know what to do. You know, if
I sprang my finger, I know what to do. Now.
You know the first spraying I had, Oh Lord, I
thought it was broke. I thought I'd go be handicalf
But now if I spray my finger, I know what
to do. So since I've been in this position, in
this hole so many times before, and God has always

(02:27):
gotten me through it, I decided I've got to start
the process today want to here are some things. Now
I'm going to get to the big one last. And
one of the things I do is I remember the plan,
sit down, and I consciously think about the goals I've set.

(02:48):
I go over them. See, I've gotten mine down on
an iPad so I can pull them out anywhere I
am and pull them up. And I've got two lists
that I've made. I've got a list of things that
I know I can accomplished if I just keep working
hard and if it's some couple of things just fall
into place that I can see. Then I got a
list of things that I'm planning on accomplishing. And then

(03:11):
I have a second list. And the heading of this
list is called only God can help Me Now. And
on this list it's things that I'm aspiring for or
things that I'm hoping to that in order for them
to happen, I absolutely have to have God's help. That's

(03:31):
my favorite list. It's the list that I have of
the things that I don't see no way it can happen.
I'm just operating on faith and the hope that God
hear me. And so sometimes, man, when you got to
when I have this list of what only God can

(03:52):
help me now that list is stuff that I cannot see.
I'm just operating on faith that God has so much
than me, that he's so much more capable than I am,
that I can actually acquire some things in my life,
as He's proven to me time and time again up
to this point, that He's willing to do for me.

(04:12):
If I'm willing to just give him some of my life.
That's only why I can explain my existence today. You
know I was. I began the conversation with my wife.
How do I write a book that becomes so wildly successful?
That would be God? That's only God, Because if you
can plan to sit down and write a wildly successful book,

(04:33):
I'd have been done, set down and did it, and
so would you, So that would be God. How it
got purchased to become a movie when that was not
my intent when I wrote the book at all, Again,
that would be God. Right, there has to be because
if I can't explain it and it is by no

(04:54):
doing of my own, then who did it? So when
I get down in days like this, I remember the goal,
I remember the plan, I remember the journey. I think
about all the things God has brought me. Through. How
did I even get to this point. Yeah, I might
be having a little bumba of a day. Yeah I
was a little down yesterday. Yeah my bio rhythms is off,

(05:14):
whatever they want to call it. Yeah, I'm just having
one of those days. I feel a little bit heavy.
I need a vacation real bad. I need some time
off to just go and regenerate. But right now, man,
I ain't got that. So guess what I do. I
gotta start remembering the plan. I gotta start remembering the goals.
I gotta start thinking about all the things that God
has done for me and how He's brought me this

(05:36):
far and the blessings that I have instead of what
I don't have. And that's what I'm in the process
of doing this morning. And on the commercial breaks, I'm
gonna pull out my iPad and I'm gonna go over
my two lists, and I'm gonna read my little list
of what I think I can accomplish, and I'm gonna
really read that only God can help me now list,
because that's the list that's big. That's the part where
I've been telling y'all. I say, quit telling God how

(06:00):
big your problems are, and start telling your problems how
big your God is. See, and that's what I got
to sit down and do this morning. And then sometimes, man,
you got to stay still. That's the other part. You
got to stay still. You gotta quit moving for a second,
because sometimes it feels like you're running on a treadmill

(06:22):
and you really ain't you going somewhere, but it feel
like you're running on a treadmill. Well, when you get
that feeling, sometimes you got to stay still. And then
when you stay still, sometimes you gotta fight to stay positive.
Sometimes you gotta fight not to let the devil win.
You're in a fight, mam. I told you this. Now
you're in a fight now. So he trying to get
you to get on that positive train so he can

(06:43):
get you off the faith train. So God's delivery package
that's coming to you built on your faith, that you
can shake your faith and get you to thinking negative
and then he wins. See. So when you start feeling negative,
just know that that's the other force trying to throw
you off track. And when you get through it all
all that here is the key, the big one. You
want me to tell it to you, You got to pray, man,

(07:04):
you got to pray. You got to take it to God.
You got to say, God, look I'm having one of
these days. I need your help. I got business to
take care of. You got blessings in front of me.
You got stuff you don ship to me. You got
blessings and packages that's on the way. I need to
be sitting on Faith Streets so I can receive the
delivery when it gets there. What I don't want to
do is be it on be undoubted way or lack

(07:28):
of understanding Parkway, or Pity park Way or some street
like that, and the package keep going by. I need
to be standing and sitting on Faith Street so when
you drop that package down to me, I can go
on and get it. You feel me. You got to pray.
You got to stay still. You gotta fight to stay positive.
You gotta remember the plan. You got to go over

(07:49):
the goals. Come on, man, God and brought you too far,
Come on, pick yourself up today. I'm talking to Steve
Varvy this morning, and I hope y'all didn't mind you're
