Come come on, you'll think, huh, I sure will.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Good morning everybody. You are listening to the Voughts, Come on,
dig me now one and only. Uh huh. Steve Harvey
got a radio show here you do. Steve Harvey got
a radio show. But like I said the other day,
you got something too, though, don't you God done done
something wonderful for you. You just got to thank Him
for it, you know, in the midst of all that's
going on in my life and in your life. You know,
(02:26):
I always use myself as an example because well, I
mean that way. I guarantee one hundred percent I know
what I'm talking about here. Here's the situation, you know,
with everything that's going on in my life and all
the things I'm asking God for in the midst of
a taxing and a very trying situation, that's very challenging
(02:50):
for me right now. Man, God just keeps on, keeps
on surprising me. He keeps doing things. And I want
you to look at your life. Or for a second,
let's make two columns here. Let's make a column of
all the things you want from God. You know, just
do that throughout the course of the day. You know,
(03:13):
you know, run down the list of all the things
you're asking God for, all the things you're praying for,
the things you aspire to, what your dreams, your visions,
whatever it is. Just make a column a list of
all those things. Let's make three lists. And then the
second list, I want you to make a list of
everything that you've been asking God for. So I guess
(03:37):
that could be a little bit of the same. But
this third list, I want you to do a check
off point. I want you to do a make a
list of everything that God has given you that you've
asked him for. Just think about it like that for
a second. I may be explaining a little wrong right now,
but I'm gonna pull it together for you. Make a
list of everything you're asking God for. Just just listed.
(04:00):
You know. It's okay, It's a dream board. You can
call it that. I got one. It's a vision board.
You know, everybody's got something you hope for. Make a list.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I want you to make another list of everything you've
asked God for that he's given you already. See this
is a good list because sometimes and what I've been
guilty of and maybe you two in my request list
on my dream board. I keep focusing so hard sometimes
(04:32):
on the what I'm yet to receive. I keep focusing
so hard on the what I hope he gives me.
I keep focusing so hard on the things that I
yet not fulfilled in my life that sometimes as he
starts checking off my wish lists, the things I've asked
(04:52):
for in the past that have come to pass that
he's given me, I sometimes, in praying for what I
want forget to thank him for what he's done for me.
And I'm currently in the middle of that situation. And
this morning when I woke up, I really, man, I
just got on my knees this morning and I quit
tripping for a second. I said, Man, hey, God, you
(05:13):
know what I really do need all them things I'm
asking for, and I'm really am believing that You're gonna
give it to me. But in the meantime, though, Man,
have I overlooked some important details here? I had to
really look at what he's done for me. I mean, look, man,
take yourself out of it personally and look, well, you
(05:34):
can leave yourself in it however you want to be.
Some people can't do that, So just leave yourself in it.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Then.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
But man, I started looking at the eyepart of me,
and I started looking around at what's happening overall. Like, man,
he has kept my family together and in spite of
the attempts to tear it apart. I look at all
of that. I look at how he's blessing my children
with the desires of their heart, which I pray for
my kids. You know, I want my kids to have
(06:00):
a better life than I've had. I really really do.
I don't want them to take as long as it
took me to get it together. I really really don't.
I'm trying to say, hey, man, if you go to college,
this is what you can be. Don't do like your
father did. Don't go three years drop I'll throw yourself
into a spiral. And then got to start to scratch
all over again, you know, And for the most part
(06:20):
so far, you know, they're doing quite well of it.
You know, you know they're getting kicked around a little bit,
but that's life. I started thinking of the blessings that
he's helped me overcome with some of the previous mistakes
I've made in relationships in my life. And then I
started looking about the things he's blessed me with that
(06:41):
I've been asking him for. But since I've moved on
from it, I forgot to keep thinking because I got
to always thank God for a roof over my head
because guess what, when I was asking for the roof
and I didn't really have it, then he gave me one. Now,
since he gave it to me, what, I'm just cool
Now I can't ever go back to him and go, hey, Man,
to do appreciate this roof over my head because that
(07:02):
was a time when I was living in a car.
But see, so every morning I wake up, I gotta
remember the fact that I have a home now, because
I got to look back and go, Man, that was time, Steve,
when you didn't have no home. But see, we forget
what God has done for us because in our column,
the won't column, the need column, we oftentimes forget for
(07:25):
the columns and the checkmarks that He's already fulfilled in
our life. You've got to take inventory every now and
then daily if possible. But I know we're humans. We're
not gonna do that. I don't. But you've got to
take inventory of your life to say, hey, what has
God done for me? You know? And remember something else too.
(07:48):
Change is good, but change is challenging. Accept the challenge
that it is. Look a lot of you come up
to me all the time and say, Steve Man, thank
you man, and boy you in the morning. Man, I
really be needing that. Like I only said it a
hundred times, but I'm gonna say it again, y'all. I
be needing it too. You know, you understand, sometimes what
(08:12):
God is dealing with me is for me. But now
I'm in a sharing position where I can open up
and if I just if I just quit being so
about me and become a little bit more transparent, I
can maybe some of me that's happening to me is
happening to you and you could see some of this
in me. That's why I use myself as an example,
(08:32):
because man, I'm catching it too, y'all. I ain't perfect either.
So for those of you that come up to me
and say that I want you to understand these these
talks in the morning. Man, this is important for me
because man, I need these conversations from God. I need
God to continue to strengthen me, to show me the way,
(08:53):
to help me understand what's happening to me. And see,
as we've all those of you who have made the
decision to change, to become a better person, a better woman,
a better boy, better girl, a better man. For those
of you who's made the decision to change, change is
a challenge, and accept the challenge because it's gonna come.
Because right out of that, here come to haters. Here
(09:14):
they come people you don't even know, discussing your life
and your change. If God see you really really mean
what you say in spite of what they say about you,
God will raise you above the freight. He'll keep promoting you.
He'll keep blessing you. He'll keep moving you up. He
will use you as a show off point. He'll show
(09:36):
you off, man, He'll he'll make you look good the
people man, who wish you'd fall all day long. And
so to all your haters, all your haters will end
up just watching you rise. Man, They will watch you
continue to grow. That's what God will do for you. Man.
You can fool the world, but you can't fool God.
God know your heart, He know your every thought.
