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.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
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 no way I could exist
the way that I do. I will not be who
(02:38):
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. I can sit
(02:59):
here today until 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 to life. I
(03:22):
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 (03:31):
But here it is.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
If you take faith and you combine it with an
incredible work ethic.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Then God.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Has the greatest opportunities to show you favor. That's the
best way I can explain success to you from my standpoint.
Combination of faith and work that produces the most opportunities
for God to show you favor. See a lot of
(04:09):
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.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
That the God is the God you serve, is the
greatest give of all good.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
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
have faith and be sitting at the house watching TV.
(04:55):
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
front of your face, with the faith that it'll payoff
later on.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
See, too many people.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Are working for the right now reward, and the right
now reward is not how it works.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Sometimes the reward is coming later on up the road.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
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 that that it's coming
like that, or you have to have faith to believe
that it's coming.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
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 exam.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
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.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Chances are making it across that street?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Is what?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Pretty good?
Speaker 2 (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,
(06:27):
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
(06:51):
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 even 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.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Kill it.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You can shut it down. You ain't got to wonder
about it. Go down there in secret venge. That ain't God.
Go tell them off when you see him.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
That ain't God.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Anything that's got sining in it is not God's voice
telling you to do it.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
So you can kill that conversation today. That's how you know.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
But if you are aligning yourself up man and you
and what 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
(07:55):
know the somewhere that you're trying to get to.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Let's say you've set a goal of for yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
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 challenging when it becomes all
(08:21):
three of those things when it don't look like it's
going to 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
(08:44):
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,
(09:04):
to 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 whirling 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
(09:24):
that you 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 planted, all
(09:46):
of that, all of that wheat you've been sowing, all
of that hard work you've been put in God to
pay it off.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
And he'll pay it off in ways that you don't
even see coming. Okay, cool, you're Listeningmore show
