Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go, last break of the day with the
man of the hour, the last four hours to be exact,
the one and only Steve Harvey. Step on up to
the mic for your closing. Yet.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
You know what, I just want to talk to you
all about something about other people as well as yourself.
I want you to realize something that you got to
just hang in that, folks. You just gotta hang in
that because where you are is so very temporary. It
(00:32):
matters not where you are, It only matters where you headed.
You're going somewhere. Remember that everything you're going through is
God preparing you for what you ask for. But you're
in the process. You are in the midst of being processed.
All of us are. If you are trying to get
to the next level, you have to be processed into
(00:55):
that next level. You can't just go to the next level.
You can't go to the tenth grade without finish in
the ninth grade. You can't go to college without being
there with a high school diploma. You can't. You just
you gotta go through the process, you know. So what
I'm getting at is this, don't get down on yourself
(01:20):
because you're going through a period in your life and
this period is kind of challenging for you, like it
is right now. There are a lot of people right
now going through some challenging moments in their life, and
it's getting to be a little bit daunting at times.
And you're starting to feel a little bit overwhelmed by
it all because you're sitting there and you're thinking, Man,
I done have enough of this, Lord where you at?
(01:44):
I don't got to learn this lesson? No, mom, if
you could just come on, I got it, fix me,
rescue me, deliver me, give me the blessing that I've
been praying for. You keep asking, and then you start
to get a little defeated because it ain't happening in
your time. That happens to you, Well, it happens to
(02:05):
other people too, and you gotta be careful how you
treat other people because they may not always be in
that position for long. Do you know how many people
I know who just did me wrong when I was
on the way coming up, You have any idea the
number of people who were discouraging to me on my
way up. They had no idea. You know how many
(02:28):
people bad mouth to me, bad mouth you on your
way up? They don't have any idea who you really are.
Do you know how many people throwing dirt on you
thinking they bringing you harm. They don't even realize what
they doing. They don't know because you know what they do.
It they judging. They judging you based on a season.
(02:56):
They judging you based on a period that you're in.
You gotta be careful when you're judging people because of
a period they're going through, because that period is just
the season. This down moment that you haven't is just
the season. And just like the seasons changed, this too
shall change. Just like seasons passed, this too shall pass.
(03:20):
Somebody sent me something one day that said, never judge
somebody based on the season, and I started thinking about
it and they went on. So I kept reading what
they said and they were just talking about it. Man,
it was so true. They said one season David was
a shepherd, but the next season he was a king.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
But you know how they.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Played David on the way up. Oh, they wouldn't volunteer
David for nothing, They wouldn't suggest David for nothing. He
was just a little shepherd boy. David can't be the
one to go down there and get that John. We
ain't even gonna bring David up. David went from a
shepherd to a king. One season, Ruth was working in
(04:09):
the field. The next season she was owning the same field.
It's just where a guy sitting. It's just biblical, you know,
stories that's out there that really if you're a person
of faith, it matters to you. If you're not a
person of faith, this is not for you, but it's okay.
(04:29):
I didn't know you was a missing One season, Mordechaia
was sitting outside the king's palace. The next season he
was inside the palace. We serve a god that turns
things around, and he is the god of unmerited faith.
(04:53):
We are all privy to his unmerited favor because he
passes it out to no particular person. We have all
been privy to this unmerited favor. You know, how many
of us can tell you something that happened to us
(05:14):
that we just can't explain. That was favor. You know,
When it looked like the verdict was going one way
and it turned around and went another way, that was favor.
When it looked like you wasn't gonna make it, but
here you are now, that was fable. When they wrote
you off and said you was never gonna be nothing,
but it turned out to be something anyhow. That was fable.
(05:35):
When they laughed at you with your decision, and now
they looking at you at that same decision they laughed
at and they shaking their head. That was favor. When
they tried to destroy you, when your enemies came for
you and they couldn't do nothing with you all about you,
that was favor God's unmerited faith. Quit tripping about the
(05:58):
season you in because you never know. You'll see as
it could turn around tomorrow. If you quit, you'll never
find hanging to everybody Old enough.
