- 2:07Speaker 1: dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a
- 2:10Speaker 1: radio show. I was had my head down and it
- 2:16Speaker 1: was thinking of what I wanted to say this morning.
- 2:19Speaker 1: But it kind of, uh, it's kind of be something
- 2:24Speaker 1: I've lived for a long time, and you know, for
- 2:30Speaker 1: a long time, you know, I had a lot of
- 2:31Speaker 1: faith in people. You know. It's strange too, because you know,
- 2:36Speaker 1: you know, my mother was a Sunday school teacher, so
- 2:39Speaker 1: of course I grew up around knowing, uh, scriptures and
- 2:43Speaker 1: things like that. Not not a lot of them, but
- 2:45Speaker 1: you know, the ones I retained. But having her as
- 2:49Speaker 1: a mother was was a huge help and understand about faith.
- 2:53Speaker 1: But even with that, as I grew up, I began
- 2:57Speaker 1: to put a lot of faith in people, and you know,
- 3:01Speaker 1: I figured, uh, you know, just like everybody else, you know,
- 3:04Speaker 1: man if I could just meet this person, or if
- 3:07Speaker 1: I could just sit down with that person, or man
- 3:10Speaker 1: if I could just get this person to hear my ideal,
- 3:13Speaker 1: or man if just if this person could hear my track,
- 3:17Speaker 1: or man if I could just get this in the
- 3:19Speaker 1: hands of somebody in the know. I was, like everybody else,
- 3:23Speaker 1: I thought that way. You know, I actually thought that
- 3:26Speaker 1: if I could get in a certain situation with a
- 3:29Speaker 1: certain person, that if a certain person were to meet me,
- 3:33Speaker 1: that you know, it could change everything for me. Oh man,
- 3:38Speaker 1: Oh how wrong I was? Oh how wrong I was?
- 3:42Speaker 1: How long did I spend feeling that way? And how
- 3:45Speaker 1: many of you out there possibly have felt that way before?
- 3:49Speaker 1: You know, like even in a relationship, this is the
- 3:51Speaker 1: person for me, and you know, you just lay claim
- 3:54Speaker 1: to that, you know, not necessarily being a fact, but
- 3:57Speaker 1: you just lay claim to it. This is the person
- 4:00Speaker 1: and for me, this is the person that I want
- 4:02Speaker 1: to spend the rest of my life with. You know,
- 4:04Speaker 1: sometimes you know, we just lay claim and stuff, and
- 4:06Speaker 1: it's not always what's in our best interest or it's
- 4:09Speaker 1: not always a fact. It's just what we decided we wanted.
- 4:13Speaker 1: And I was guilty of that just like anybody else.
- 4:16Speaker 1: And I spent a lot of years in my life
- 4:19Speaker 1: putting faith in people. Man, if I could tell you
- 4:22Speaker 1: anything this morning, it's to stop putting your faith in
- 4:25Speaker 1: people and put your faith in God where it counts
- 4:28Speaker 1: the most. I mean, you can get something out of
- 4:31Speaker 1: this one. See, here's a deal about a relationship with God.
- 4:35Speaker 1: It's the same all the time. He never changes. His
- 4:39Speaker 1: word is one hundred percent absolute. His word doesn't have
- 4:42Speaker 1: loopholes in it, none of that. It's this is what
- 4:46Speaker 1: it is. He's very clear. Now, you can deviate off
- 4:50Speaker 1: your end of a bargain, but it don't stop what
- 4:54Speaker 1: he says from being true. But if he asked you
- 4:57Speaker 1: to do something, if God asked you to be a
- 5:00Speaker 1: certain way, to do a little something a certain way,
- 5:02Speaker 1: and you don't do it that way, then you know
- 5:05Speaker 1: you could still possibly get by for a while. But
- 5:09Speaker 1: don't you understand that his end of the deal stays
- 5:12Speaker 1: the same, and as long as you're not doing it
- 5:15Speaker 1: the way you're supposed to, the results are not going
- 5:17Speaker 1: to be what you wanted to be And I did
- 5:19Speaker 1: this for years and years and years, and I counted
- 5:23Speaker 1: on people, and you know, I got myself in a
- 5:26Speaker 1: lot of situations. And I got out one a dire
- 5:29Speaker 1: situation that I'd been in for a number of years.
- 5:32Speaker 1: But he had protected me from years prior to that.
- 5:34Speaker 1: I didn't even know what was going on. And then
- 5:37Speaker 1: he made it, made me aware of the problem. And then, man,
- 5:41Speaker 1: Lord have mercy, I was in a dismal situation. And
- 5:44Speaker 1: then at the end of the year, I was free,
- 5:47Speaker 1: free from it all. But it was a decision that
- 5:50Speaker 1: I had made that led up to that, and in
- 5:54Speaker 1: going through that process, I had to learn something. Man.
- 5:58Speaker 1: I learned a lot about people. See, if you want
- 6:01Speaker 1: to learn about your friends, if you want to learn
- 6:03Speaker 1: about your people people around you, Get yourself in some trouble,
- 6:08Speaker 1: get yourself in a situation, oh man, you start looking around,
- 6:12Speaker 1: man to feel get real clear when you're in trouble.
- 6:16Speaker 1: The feel clear is out when you're in doubt, when
- 6:19Speaker 1: you don't know what to do, when you need help it,
- 6:22Speaker 1: get real clear on the play and field, then don't it. Ah.
- 6:25Speaker 1: But when things is going right, it's time for a party.
- 6:28Speaker 1: We throwing a celebration. We gonna we're gonna do one
- 6:32Speaker 1: down here. Oh man, there's plenty of people on the field.
- 6:35Speaker 1: But but but get yourself in a situation. You find
- 6:38Speaker 1: out rather quickly that oh no, oh no, everybody ain't here.
- 6:43Speaker 1: And that's when I started learning. And I'm telling you,
- 6:46Speaker 1: I had to start learning this for real until I
- 6:49Speaker 1: finally got it to stop putting my faith in people
- 6:52Speaker 1: and put all the mind in God where it counts
- 6:55Speaker 1: the most. Now is that to say that there are
- 6:57Speaker 1: people that you can't trust. No, that's not what I'm saying.
- 7:00Speaker 1: I ain't say you can't trust him, but you can't
- 7:03Speaker 1: dump your faith in them. I got it all riding
- 7:06Speaker 1: on what he say. I got it all riding on
- 7:09Speaker 1: what she say. No, no, uh uh no, I hear
- 7:15Speaker 1: you saying it. But I'm gonna keep my own this
- 7:19Speaker 1: situation because I hear you saying it. But I'm gonna
- 7:22Speaker 1: take this faith of mine and instead of putting it
- 7:25Speaker 1: in people, I'm gonna put it in God where it
- 7:27Speaker 1: counts the most. Because his word is absolute. What he
- 7:31Speaker 1: say he's gonna do, he gonna do what he says.
- 7:33Speaker 1: He's not gonna tolerate, he's not gonna tolerate. Now, you
- 7:36Speaker 1: can make it, you can make it tolerable for yourself,
- 7:38Speaker 1: but he's not gonna tolerate it. And that's just the
- 7:41Speaker 1: end of the line. And so you know, I'm wondering
- 7:44Speaker 1: how many people out there find themselves in a situation
- 7:47Speaker 1: like me. Or maybe you've gotten yourself in a situation
- 7:50Speaker 1: because you put your faith in some people and now
- 7:52Speaker 1: you wound up in a different type of situation. Now,
- 7:55Speaker 1: let me ask you where the people at the only
- 7:59Speaker 1: one that I found when I was in my deepest trouble,
- 8:04Speaker 1: when me and my wife were in our darkest situation,
- 8:07Speaker 1: was God. It was the only one, was the only
- 8:10Speaker 1: one who was just right there, right there all the
- 8:14Speaker 1: way through. Now, let me explain something to you. Because
- 8:21Speaker 1: you have this relationship with God, it does not mean,
- 8:24Speaker 1: it does not mean now that it won't get it
- 8:27Speaker 1: won't still be a situation, you understand. But what He
- 8:32Speaker 1: will do is protect you during that period. He'll cover
- 8:37Speaker 1: you during that period that it is a situation. He
- 8:40Speaker 1: will give you the strength to overcome the situation when
- 8:44Speaker 1: it turns into a situation. Then when He cracks it
- 8:48Speaker 1: open for you and the sun is bright and shining.
- 8:51Speaker 1: What he don't want you to do is when it
- 8:52Speaker 1: gets sunny again, to forget about him, who was there
- 8:56Speaker 1: when it was dark for you. See, I used to
- 8:59Speaker 1: do that too, you know. I was Oh, man, I
- 9:01Speaker 1: did it. I'm telling you right now, I did it.
- 9:04Speaker 1: But I'm telling you man, when I learned a very
- 9:07Speaker 1: serious lesson and I watched some people I thought were
- 9:11Speaker 1: friends of mine just sort of casually remove themselves from
- 9:17Speaker 1: the situation. Then I said, okay. Me and Marjorie looked around.
- 9:21Speaker 1: We said, okay, it's just me, you and God. And
- 9:24Speaker 1: when we started conducting ourselves accordingly. So when it's sunny
- 9:29Speaker 1: for us, we remember God. We stay prayerful, we keep
- 9:33Speaker 1: talking to him. We thank him for the sunshine, we
- 9:36Speaker 1: thank him for the dark days that he allowed us
- 9:39Speaker 1: to do, who allowed us to survive it and turn
- 9:41Speaker 1: it into sunny days. And we talked to him constantly
- 9:44Speaker 1: to protect us of our future enemies. And that's what
- 9:47Speaker 1: the deal is. So if I was everybody, I would
- 9:49Speaker 1: stop putting your faith in people and put your trust
- 9:52Speaker 1: in God where it really does count the most, it
- 9:55Speaker 1: really really does. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
