Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody you are
listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now what
and only Steve Harvey got a radio show? Man or man?
Almost forgot I had one this morning. But I'm okay.
I'll tell you who I am in a little bit.
You know, I get around. Man, it's so much. But man,
(00:21):
good morning everybody. You know today. I was having a
conversation with my wife last night and we were talking
about our plans. You know, we often sit down, you know,
just like a married couple. I mean, you know, you
know we're married. You know, we have children, we have aspirations,
we have hopes, we I mean know, we have things
(00:42):
we want. You know, when you're married, you know, I mean,
it's important to sit with your partner. I'm not telling
you anything, you don't know. It's common sense. Really, It's
important to sit down with the person that you've chosen
and decided to share your life with it and have
multiple conversations on a lot of things. And we try
to make sure that all of our conversations aren't always
(01:04):
just business related and always kid related, you know, because
that that that becomes it's a part of it. But
it weighs so much on the marriage that because that's
the grunt work of being married. You know, your children,
your family, your bills, your your mortgage, your your car notes,
(01:26):
you know the what's due, what's coming up, and if
you're not careful, you'll you'll start that becomes the focal
point of you all's conversation. And this woman or man
or person that you've decided to have this life with,
all of a sudden, they're an extension of your business,
(01:47):
and you guys become business partners or whatever, and it
just gets so anywhere. I'm just saying that that is
important to sit down and have these conversations, but it's
even more important to have other conversation. You know, it's
important with the person that you're planning on making the
run with to sit down and talk about other things,
(02:08):
you know, on a more upbeat note. You know, we
were having a conversation and she was reminding me of
what she loved about me, and then I, in turn
was turning around telling her the things that I admired
about her and loved about her. And we kind of
have these all the time, you know, when we sit
(02:28):
down and we talk about the things that we still
enjoy about one another, or we may talk about some
of the things that we miss in one another. But
we constantly have these conversations about appreciation. You know, it's
so important, man, that the other person feels appreciated. So
these things important. But we got into the conversation deeper
(02:51):
last night, and I was telling her about this idea
that I had and that I wanted her to help
me with and make a phone call for me because
she knows these people. And I was going to be
doing this, and then my wife reminded me of something,
not once again. You know, as always, you know, when
I'm talking to you, I just keep it as real
(03:11):
as I can. I don't know the Bible inside out.
I can't quote to you scriptures and tell you exactly
where it is. I just you know, I heard her
say it, but it kind of blew by me. I
was telling her about something I wanted to make happen,
and she reminded me that there's a scripture somewhere and
somebody emailed it to me today. I'm sure. Well, the
(03:33):
Bible reminds us not to be anxious for anything. Don't
be anxious for something, And you know, it really mattered
to me at that point yesterday that she brought this
to my attention, because how many times I've been guilty
of that in my past and I've learned better now,
but every now and then I need to be reminded,
(03:54):
you know. And I think that what she was saying
to me was, you know, I've gotten to a point
in my life, and we all should get to a
point where. You know, you've heard old people say this.
If you're gonna pray about something, then don't worry about it.
And if you're gonna worry about it, don't pray about it.
Back to this, be anxious for nothing, don't. If you're
(04:19):
going to trust in God, then't do that. And trusting
in him means sometimes you got to be patient. God
has never been too late. You don't know the plan
he has, You don't know. You don't really always know
his will. You definitely don't know his route, his way
(04:39):
of doing anything. So he's always on time. He's always
been there on time for me, He's always been there
on time for you. How many times have you thought
it was over only to find out it's really just begun.
How many times have people wrote you off? Are those
(05:00):
of you who have lost jobs, but you are still maintaining.
But man, God has already began to turn around process
for many of us. Some of us lost jobs and
now have better jobs. Some of us lost jobs and
now has forced us to rekindle that dream and that
(05:21):
vision for business we had. Sometimes the mishap is the
thing you need to make something good happen. See a
lot of times we get so comfortable in our life
where we just we get complacent, We just settled in
and when this is it and this is what I'm doing.
But in actuality, God has a tremendous amount of abundance
(05:46):
for you. He has an amazing amount of things. He
has all these boxes packaged up with your name on
him that he's willing to ship if you would just
align yourself with some of his wills so you could
get some of these things. How many times have you
thought it was over and it didn't really go over.
How many times have you thought, well, this is it
(06:08):
and it wasn't it at all? Well, how many times
do you thought, well, it don't look like this gonna
work out, and it didn't work out, but then something
better came along. How many times has that happened you've
got to realize this. Man. I was talking to a
family who had got displaced from the Katrina thing that
happened down there in New Orleans. And man, when they said, yeah,
(06:31):
we got a displaced from Katrina, and I braced myself because, oh,
woe is me. Here comes this story. I gotta hear this,
and I gotta be encouraged and think of something. It
was totally different. They totally totally blew me away. Man.
The brother said, Matt is actually the best thing that
ever happened to my family. And I went, whoa, And
(06:51):
he said, yeah, man, he said, because what happened was
he said, I got settled in, He said. Plus, I
was doing some things outside of my marriage down there,
He said, I was doing some stuff in the streets
I ain't need to be doing. He said, Man, it
all got washed away. We thought our life would never
be the same. But he said, man, my life ain't
need to be the same. He said, Man. Now we
(07:14):
live up here in Texas. We got a house. Don't
know nobody, he said, I ain't got nobody I know
to get into trouble with. He said, Man, I done
rediscovered my wife. How beautiful she really is? How much
my family really was counting on me, and he said, man,
it straightened me up. Man, he said, so, I gotta
tell you, Steve, it was the best thing that ever
happened to me. Now that's not always the case, but
(07:36):
it's how you look at a situation. But just don't
be anxious for anything, because God got a fix for
you if you just let him work. So just stay
on course, stay focused, don't lose faith, don't be anxious. Man,
just stay in the wheel. Let God work with you.
He got some great stuff in the store for you.
Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody you are
