Speaker 2 (00:05):
Y'all don't know y'all at all at all, So.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Don't given them back A million.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Bus buss.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
More listening to to each other. I don't Joy Yeah, Joy,
(00:59):
you you.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Turn, you gotta turn. I can't got to turn the mouth.
(01:42):
Turn you probably got to turn the mouth, the turn out,
turn the water the mony up. Look, come come out.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
You think that, Uh huh, I sure will. 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.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
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 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
(02:34):
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 he is. If it was not
for God, I would have no testimony for you, because
I would have failed every single test, plain, pure and simple,
(03:00):
can sit here today and tell you flat out that
it is purely because of God's grace and mercy that
I exist today because of His favor. See now He
shows us favor in life because of a combination of
things I've discovered. And this is not the whole answer
(03:21):
to life, 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.
But here it is. If you take faith and you
combine it with an incredible work ethic, then God has
(03:49):
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 opportunities for God to show you favor. See
(04:09):
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 God will see you through. That the God, the
(04:30):
God you serve, is the greatest give 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 what you want God to do? See, you can
(04:51):
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 that don't have the right payoff right in
(05:12):
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 see the reason you don't know
(05:34):
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. That's what
faith is. You know you standing at Let me give
you theam you standing at the crosswalk with a walk
sign on it and the sign flashing on the corner
(05:55):
don't walk then that the signs say walk, What do
you think your chances are making it across that street?
Is what?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Pretty good?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
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. That's
not what I'm talking to you about. I'm talking about
the faith, the belief in things that you cannot see,
(06:28):
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 want the reward
right now. See that's not the exhibition of faith. If
(06:52):
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 sining in it, it ain't God.
You can just clear it on up right there. You
can stop all the wondering. If that's His voice talking
to you, if it's the right thing to do. If
it's sin in it, it's not God talking to you.
(07:15):
Kill it. 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 sining 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
(07:35):
you're doing is 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 his another one. When you're going somewhere, when
you're on the road to going somewhere, and you know
(07:56):
the somewhere that 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
(08:18):
going to become challenging when it becomes all three of
those things. 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
(08:42):
can't do is you can't complain so much that you
forget that 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
(09:05):
sit up and go, hey, mann't I wanted to ease
back into 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 got 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
(09:25):
lose sight of the blessings. Man, God got a lot
for you in your life, man, But you got to
have 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 plant it that, all of that
(09:48):
wheat you've been sowing, all of that hard work you've
been put in God to pay it off. And he'll
pay it off in ways that you don't even see coming. Okay, cool,
you're listening Harvey Morning Show. Mm hmm
