  Speaker 1: Come on, Uh, I sure will. Good morning everybody listening
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to the voice, come on, dig me now, one and
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I was had
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: my head down and it was thinking of what I
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: wanted to say this morning. But it kind of, uh,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: it's kind of be something I've lived for a long time,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and you know, for a long time, you know, I
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: had a lot of faith in people. You know. It's
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: it's strange too, because you know, you know, my mother
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: was a Sunday school teacher, so of course I grew
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: up around knowing, uh, scriptures and things like that. Not
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: not a lot of them, but you know, the ones
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I retained. But having her as a mother was was
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a huge help and understand about faith. But even with that,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: as I grew up, I began to put a lot
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: of faith in people. And you know, I figured, uh,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you know, just like everybody else, you know, man if
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I could just meet this person, or if I could
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: just sit down with that person, or man if I
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: could just get this person to hear my ideal, or
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: man if just if this person could hear my track,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: or man if I could just get this in the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: hands of somebody in the know. I was like everybody else,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I thought that way. You know, I actually thought that
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: if I could get in a certain situation with a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: certain person, that if a certain person were to meet me,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that you know, it could change everything for me. Oh man,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Oh how wrong I was? Oh how wrong I was?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: How long did I spend feeling that way? And how
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: many of you out there possibly have felt that way before?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: You know, like even in a relationship, This is the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: person for me, And you know, you just lay claim
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to that, you know, not necessarily being a fact, but
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you just lay claim to it. This is the person
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: for me, This is the person that I want to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: spend the rest of my life with. You know. Sometimes,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you know, we just lay claim and stuff and it's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: not always what's in our best interest or it's not
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: always a fact. It's just what we decided we want it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And I was guilty of that, just like anybody else.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And I spent a lot of years in my life
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: putting faith in people. Man, if I could tell you
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: anything this morning, it's to stop putting your faith in
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: people and put your faith in God where it counts
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the most. I mean, you can get something out of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: this one. See, here's a deal. About a relationship with God.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: It's the same all the time. He never changes. His
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: word is one hundred percent absolute. His word doesn't have
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: loopholes in it, none of that. It's this is what
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: it is. He's very clear. Now, you can deviate off
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: your end of a bargain, but it don't stop what
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: he says from being true. But if he asks you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to do something, If if God asked you to be
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a certain way, to do a little something a certain way,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and you don't do it that way, then you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you could still possibly get by for a while. But
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: don't you understand that his end of the deal stays
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the same, And as long as you're not doing it
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the way you're supposed to, the results are not going
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to be what you wanted to be. And I did
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: this for years and years and years, and I counted
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: on people, and you know, I got myself in a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: lot of situations. And I got out one a dire
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: situation that I'd been in for a number of years.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: But he had protected me from years prior to that.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know what was going on, and then
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: he made it, made me aware of the problem, and then, man,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Lord have mercy, I was in a dismal situation. And
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: then at the end of the year I was free,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: free from it all. But it was a decision that
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I had made that led up to that, and in
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: going through that process, I had to learn something. Manlearn
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: a lot about people. See if you want to learn
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: about your friends, if you want to learn about your
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: people people around you. Get yourself in some trouble. Get
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: yourself in a situation. Oh man, you start looking around,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: man to feel get real clear when you're in trouble.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: The feel clear is out when you're in doubt, when
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you don't know what to do, when you need help
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: it get real clear on the play and field, then,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: don't it. Ah. But when things is going right, it's
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: time for a party. We throwing a celebration. We gonna
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do one down here. Oh man, there's plenty
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of people on the field. But but but get yourself
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: in a situation. You find out rather quickly that oh no,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: oh no, everybody ain't here. And that's when I started learning.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, I had to start learning this
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: for real until I finally got it to stop putting
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: my faith in people and put all the mind in God.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Where it counts the most. Now is that to say
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that there are people that you can't trust. No, that's
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: not what I'm saying. I ain't say you can't trust him,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: but you can't dump your faith in them. I got
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it all riding on what he say. I got it
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: all riding on what she say. No, no, uh uh no,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I hear you saying it. But I'm gonna keep my
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: own this situation because I hear you saying it. But
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take this faith of mine and instead of
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: putting it in people, I'm gonna put it in God
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: where it counts the most. Because his word is absolute.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: What he say he's gonna do, he gonna do what
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: he says. He's not gonna tolerate. He's not gonna tolerate. Now,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you can make it, you can make it tolerable for yourself,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: but he's not gonna tolerate it. And that's just the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: end of the line. And so you know, I'm wondering
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: how many people out there find themselves in a situation
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: like me, Or maybe you've gotten yourself in a situation
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: because you put your faith in some people and now
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you wound up in a different type of situation. Now,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: let me ask you where the people at the only
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: one that I found when I was in my deepest trouble,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: when me and my wife were in our darkest situation,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: was God. He was the only one, was the only
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: one who was just right there, right there, all the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: way through. Now, let me explain something to you. Because
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you have this relationship with God, it does not mean,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: it does not mean now that it won't get it
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: won't still be a situation, you understand. But what He
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: will do is protect you during that period. He'll cover
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you during that period that it is a situation. He
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: will give you the strength to overcome the situation when
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it turns into a situation. Then when he cracks it
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: open for you and the sun is bright and shining,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: what he don't want you to do is when it
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: gets sunny again, to forget about him who was there
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: when it was dark for you. See, I used to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: do that too, you know I was. Oh, man, I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: did it. I'm telling you right now, I did it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, man, when I learned a very
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: serious lesson, and I watched some people I thought were
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: friends of mine just sort of casually remove themselves from
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the situation. Then I said, okay. Me and Marjorie looked around.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: We said, okay, it's just me, you and God. And
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: when we started conducting ourselves accordingly. So when it's sunny
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: for us, we remember God, we stay prayerful, we keep
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: talking to him. We thank him for the sunshine, we
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: thank him for the dark days that he allowed us
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to do, who allowed us to survive it and turn
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: it into sunny days. And we talked to him constantly
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to protect us of our future enemies. And that's what
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the deal is. So if I was everybody, I would
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: stop putting your faith in people and put your trust
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: in God where it really does count the most, it
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: really really does. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
