Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are on this Friday, our
- 0:02Speaker 1: last break of the day. It's been a fun day.
- 0:04Speaker 1: Thank you guys. Appreciate for listening week every day. Yeah,
- 0:09Speaker 1: have a great weekend. Let me see what I could
- 0:16Speaker 1: do for closing remarks today. Any subject y'all need cover
- 0:20Speaker 1: question anybody? I think we kind of talked about it
- 0:26Speaker 1: from soft Air on the air about prioritizing any regrets
- 0:32Speaker 1: about your life. You know, we talked about your dream
- 0:35Speaker 1: that any regret you know. Listen, you know, listen. I
- 0:40Speaker 1: was having a conversation last night with my sons and
- 0:46Speaker 1: they pretty much asked me the same thing. They said, Dad,
- 0:49Speaker 1: if you could do anything in your life over, what
- 0:51Speaker 1: would you do. Look, of course, knowing what I know now,
- 1:00Speaker 1: I would have made so many different decisions. But at
- 1:05Speaker 1: the time I made the decision based on the information
- 1:08Speaker 1: I had and the experience I had, and my maturity level.
- 1:14Speaker 1: And a lot of times when you make mistakes, it's
- 1:16Speaker 1: because you are making a decision without all the information,
- 1:22Speaker 1: without thinking it through, without the experience. But that's how
- 1:27Speaker 1: you gain experience. There's a saying that says experiences prices.
- 1:31Speaker 1: It's a shame you have to pay for it with
- 1:33Speaker 1: your youth. Man, oh man, oh man, how true is that?
- 1:38Speaker 1: But I know as I was telling them the mistakes
- 1:41Speaker 1: I made. Behind every mistake I made, God still worked
- 1:46Speaker 1: out his plan and purpose for me, even in the
- 1:49Speaker 1: decisions I make. Because listen to me, y'all. We are
- 1:52Speaker 1: all human beings, but God has given us. We are
- 1:55Speaker 1: the one creature that He created that He gave the
- 1:58Speaker 1: power of choice to birds, lions, snakes, spiders. They don't
- 2:04Speaker 1: have choices. This is what they are, this is what
- 2:07Speaker 1: they do. A bird don't get to decide I'm gonna
- 2:11Speaker 1: be a camel. No, a bird is going to be
- 2:14Speaker 1: a bird. That's it. You get to decide. I'm gonna
- 2:17Speaker 1: be a doctor, I'm gonna be a radio host, I'm
- 2:20Speaker 1: gonna play football, I'm gonna be a lawyer. You get
- 2:24Speaker 1: to choose. You get to choose who you marry. You
- 2:29Speaker 1: get to do all of this by choice. So in
- 2:32Speaker 1: the power of choice, I was talking to them and
- 2:35Speaker 1: they said, Dad, would you have done anything differently? What
- 2:38Speaker 1: do you wish you had then that you had now?
- 2:40Speaker 1: I said, a better relationship with God. I would have
- 2:43Speaker 1: ran everything by him first. But because he gave me
- 2:46Speaker 1: the power of choice. Do you know how many times
- 2:48Speaker 1: we make choices because it's what we want, and now
- 2:52Speaker 1: it ain't got nothing to do with the will of God.
- 2:54Speaker 1: But God gives us the power of choice, so he
- 2:56Speaker 1: let us do it. Do you know how many times
- 2:59Speaker 1: you've thrown yourself off course with your power of choice?
- 3:03Speaker 1: Do you have any idea how many times you have
- 3:06Speaker 1: delayed your blessing simply because of your power of choice?
- 3:11Speaker 1: And then God has to now take the time to
- 3:15Speaker 1: work out his plan and purpose for you anyway in
- 3:18Speaker 1: spite of your decisions. And now you're sitting up here
- 3:22Speaker 1: wondering why the blessing is delayed, And then some of
- 3:26Speaker 1: us give up on it because we think it's been denied. No,
- 3:30Speaker 1: oftentimes it's not denied. It has just been delayed. But
- 3:33Speaker 1: it had to be delayed because of the decision you made.
- 3:38Speaker 1: God can't give you everything you want if you with
- 3:41Speaker 1: the wrong person. He can't do that because guess what,
- 3:45Speaker 1: they will benefit too, and they won't appreciate what He
- 3:49Speaker 1: gave you, and they'll ruin it and bring it down.
- 3:52Speaker 1: So before God give it to you and let somebody
- 3:54Speaker 1: else be the cause of your demise, Maybe that's why
- 3:57Speaker 1: you haven't gotten it. I can't tell you how many
- 4:00Speaker 1: many times that then worked out that way for me.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Whoo whoo. I could not understand why God was not
- 4:07Speaker 1: giving me what I asked for at that particular moment.
- 4:10Speaker 1: And then later on I realized, Oh, I see he
- 4:14Speaker 1: didn't want this person, or he had to remove this person,
- 4:17Speaker 1: or he had to introduce me to this person. It's
- 4:20Speaker 1: a process. When you ask God for something, quit being
- 4:24Speaker 1: selfish and thinking it's just about you. You are connected
- 4:28Speaker 1: to hundreds of people in your life, so when God
- 4:31Speaker 1: do something for you or to you, it has a
- 4:35Speaker 1: domino effect. You sitting a pition, Really, you really think
- 4:39Speaker 1: it's about you. I don't know why God won't go
- 4:43Speaker 1: on and bless me with that because who you went?
- 4:47Speaker 1: But then guess what the who you win is your decision.
- 4:51Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm not married yet. You don't
- 4:55Speaker 1: think about the decisions you've made. I can assure you,
- 4:59Speaker 1: if you sit, can you take an inventory? You will
- 5:02Speaker 1: discover because God has given us the power of choice
- 5:05Speaker 1: is the very reason that we are where we are today.
- 5:08Speaker 1: We are a sum total of our thoughts. Who I am, you,
- 5:13Speaker 1: who you are? Because of how we thought. Now, if
- 5:16Speaker 1: you don't like where you are, you got change where
- 5:18Speaker 1: you think. But you know when that can happen immediately
- 5:23Speaker 1: or what you mean immediately? See soon as you get
- 5:25Speaker 1: through thinking like that, you can start changing. But everything
- 5:30Speaker 1: starts with a thought. You can't get rich if you
- 5:34Speaker 1: keep doing post of You can't meet mister Wright, if
- 5:40Speaker 1: you steady involved with mister Wrong and that don't make
- 5:46Speaker 1: no sense, y'all. You can't climb the corporate letter if
- 5:50Speaker 1: you keep laying in bed. You can't get hired if
- 5:55Speaker 1: you don't go out looking for work. Thank y'all. We
- 6:00Speaker 1: all make decisions. I wish I had done some things differently,
- 6:06Speaker 1: but God worked his plan for me anyway, And that's
- 6:10Speaker 1: why it took so long, because He had to undo
- 6:13Speaker 1: some of my decisions. So now what I told my
- 6:17Speaker 1: sons was I wish I had read everything by God
- 6:21Speaker 1: in the first place. I could have saved myself a
- 6:25Speaker 1: lot of pains. Those are my closing remarks today, run
- 6:29Speaker 1: it by God. First, talk to God today. You'd absolutely
- 6:37Speaker 1: love to hear from your peace for all. Steve Harvey contests.
