- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
- 0:06Speaker 1: y'all listen to the voice. Come on, dig me now,
- 0:09Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey oh Man got a radio show.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Man got a radio show and a whole lot mold too, Man.
- 0:17Speaker 1: God is good to me.
- 0:19Speaker 2: I have no other explanation, if I have no other
- 0:22Speaker 2: explanation of my existence and where I stand in this
- 0:26Speaker 2: thing called life, except if it was not for the
- 0:29Speaker 2: goodness of God Almighty. If it was not for His
- 0:32Speaker 2: grace and his mercy, There's no way I could exist
- 0:36Speaker 2: the way that I do. I will not be who
- 0:39Speaker 2: I am or where I am. I am who I
- 0:42Speaker 2: am and where I am simply because God is who
- 0:47Speaker 2: he is. If it was not for God, I would
- 0:51Speaker 2: have no testimony for you, because I would have failed
- 0:55Speaker 2: every single test plain, pure and simple. I can sit
- 1:01Speaker 2: here today and tell you flat out that it is
- 1:05Speaker 2: purely because of God's grace and mercy that I exist today,
- 1:11Speaker 2: because of His favor. See now, He shows us favor
- 1:15Speaker 2: in life because of a combination of things I've discovered.
- 1:20Speaker 3: And this is not the whole answer to life.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I can assure you as not, but this is a
- 1:25Speaker 2: combination that I've grown to understand better and better, and
- 1:30Speaker 2: I wish I had gotten it earlier in my life.
- 1:33Speaker 3: But here it is. If you take faith and you
- 1:39Speaker 3: combine it.
- 1:42Speaker 2: With an incredible work ethic, then God has the greatest
- 1:51Speaker 2: opportunities to show you favor. That's the best way I
- 1:57Speaker 2: can explain success to you from my standard point. It
- 2:01Speaker 2: is the combination of faith and work that produces the
- 2:06Speaker 2: most opportunities for God to.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Show you favor.
- 2:10Speaker 2: See a lot of times we want God to bless us,
- 2:13Speaker 2: but we ain't doing nothing for Him to bless So
- 2:16Speaker 2: now we sideways in the equation a little bit. But see,
- 2:19Speaker 2: if you had the faith in God that God can
- 2:24Speaker 2: do anything but fail, that God will get you through,
- 2:27Speaker 2: that God will see you through. That the God is
- 2:30Speaker 2: the God you serve, is the greatest give of all
- 2:33Speaker 2: good things. If you kept that faith intact through it all,
- 2:38Speaker 2: and you produced an incredible work ethic that allows the
- 2:43Speaker 2: most opportunities for God to show you favor. See without
- 2:50Speaker 2: that what you want God to do? See, you can
- 2:52Speaker 2: have faith and be sitting at the house watching TV.
- 2:57Speaker 2: There's nothing being produced opportunities for God to show you favor.
- 3:03Speaker 3: And you got to do some things.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Man that you are uncomfortable doing or don't feel like doing,
- 3:10Speaker 2: or something that don't have the right payoff right in
- 3:13Speaker 2: front of your face, with the faith that it'll pay
- 3:16Speaker 2: off later on. See, too many people are working for
- 3:20Speaker 2: the right now reward, and the right now reward is
- 3:23Speaker 2: not how it works. Sometimes the reward is coming later
- 3:27Speaker 2: on up the road. But the only way you can
- 3:29Speaker 2: know that is if you got to You got to
- 3:32Speaker 2: apply the faith and see the reason you don't know
- 3:35Speaker 2: that that it's coming like that, or you have to
- 3:38Speaker 2: have faith to believe that it's coming. Because faith is
- 3:42Speaker 2: the belief in things that you cannot see.
- 3:47Speaker 3: That's what faith is. You know you standing at let
- 3:50Speaker 3: me give you exam.
- 3:51Speaker 2: You standing at the crosswalk with a walk sign on
- 3:54Speaker 2: it and the sign flashing on the corner.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Don't walk?
- 3:57Speaker 2: Then the signs say walk. What do you think your
- 4:03Speaker 2: chances are making it across that street?
- 4:05Speaker 3: Is what? Pretty good?
- 4:07Speaker 2: Because guess what the signs say walk? You can see
- 4:11Speaker 2: the other side. There's other people in the cross walk walking,
- 4:14Speaker 2: So guess what You strike out blindly? It don't take
- 4:17Speaker 2: a lot of faith to get across that street. That's
- 4:21Speaker 2: That's not what I'm talking to you about. I'm talking
- 4:25Speaker 2: about the faith, the belief in things that you cannot see,
- 4:29Speaker 2: the faith that what I'm doing today, I believe in
- 4:34Speaker 2: my heart of heart that God wouldn't bring me this
- 4:37Speaker 2: far to leave me. That God is a true and
- 4:39Speaker 2: living God, that he keeps his promises, that later on,
- 4:42Speaker 2: there's things that I'm working towards right now gonna pay
- 4:45Speaker 2: off later on. See, too many people want the reward
- 4:48Speaker 2: right now. See, that's not the exhibition of faith. If
- 4:52Speaker 2: it's the right thing to do, if it's if it's
- 4:56Speaker 2: a good thing to do, if it's a just thing
- 4:59Speaker 2: to do. See, if it's sin in it, it ain't God.
- 5:03Speaker 2: You can just clear it on up right there. You
- 5:05Speaker 2: can stop all the wondering. If that's his voice talking
- 5:08Speaker 2: to you, if it's the right thing to do, if
- 5:11Speaker 2: it's sin in it, it's.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Not God talking to you.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Kill it. You can shut it down. You ain't got
- 5:19Speaker 2: to wonder about it. Go down there, secret venge that
- 5:22Speaker 2: ain't God. Go tell them off when you see him.
- 5:24Speaker 2: That ain't God. Anything that's got sin in it is
- 5:27Speaker 2: not God's voice telling you to do it. So you
- 5:30Speaker 2: can kill that conversation today. That's how you know. But
- 5:34Speaker 2: if you aligning yourself up, man, and what you're doing
- 5:37Speaker 2: is just and right and correct and pleasing in the
- 5:40Speaker 2: sight of God, it'll pay off for you later on.
- 5:45Speaker 2: And see, here's the best way I can tell to
- 5:49Speaker 2: his Another one when you're going somewhere, when you're on
- 5:54Speaker 2: the road to going somewhere, and you know the somewhere
- 5:58Speaker 2: that you're trying to get to. Let's say you've set
- 6:00Speaker 2: a goal or vision for yourself. You know where you
- 6:03Speaker 2: want to get to. You got a good idea, and
- 6:06Speaker 2: you own your way to going there. Listen to me
- 6:09Speaker 2: when it gets hard, and it is going to get hard,
- 6:13Speaker 2: when it gets difficult, and it is going to get difficult,
- 6:17Speaker 2: when it becomes challenging, and it is going to become
- 6:20Speaker 2: challenging when it becomes.
- 6:22Speaker 3: All three of those things.
- 6:24Speaker 2: When it don't look like it's going to happen, don't
- 6:27Speaker 2: stop and complain so much. But see, I know he
- 6:31Speaker 2: don't bless me. But in the middle of it, man,
- 6:34Speaker 2: I felt a little heavy. And you got to be
- 6:36Speaker 2: careful when it gets hard for you, because you'll find
- 6:38Speaker 2: yourself complaining.
- 6:40Speaker 3: And when you complain, and see, what you can't do
- 6:43Speaker 3: is you can't complain.
- 6:45Speaker 2: So much that you forget that the place that you're
- 6:49Speaker 2: trying to go to, you actually own your way there still. See,
- 6:54Speaker 2: don't get caught up into complaining and then lose sight
- 6:57Speaker 2: of your blessing that's actually.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Happening to you.
- 7:00Speaker 2: What really, man, of all the times to register a
- 7:04Speaker 2: complaint to God, to sit up and go, hey, man,
- 7:08Speaker 2: I didn't I wanted to ease back into this thing.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Ease back in, man, you in it's a tornado whirling
- 7:14Speaker 2: around you. You ain't got time to ease back in. You
- 7:16Speaker 2: got to go on and jump back in it. It
- 7:19Speaker 2: is what it is. To whom much is given, much
- 7:21Speaker 2: is required. Always appreciate the blessings. Don't get so caught
- 7:25Speaker 2: up in the complaints that you lose sight of the blessings. Man,
- 7:28Speaker 2: God got a lot for you in your life. Man,
- 7:30Speaker 2: but you got to have them two things, y'all. You
- 7:32Speaker 2: got to take that faith and you got to ply
- 7:36Speaker 2: a crazy work ethic to it. And that creates the
- 7:40Speaker 2: most opportunities for God to show you favor. And when
- 7:43Speaker 2: God starts showing your favor, Man, all them seeds you planted,
- 7:47Speaker 2: all of that, all of that wheat you've been sowing,
- 7:50Speaker 2: all of that hard work. You've been put in God
- 7:53Speaker 2: to pay it off, and he'll pay it off in
- 7:55Speaker 2: ways that you don't even see coming. Okay, cool, you're
- 7:59Speaker 2: listening easy. Eve Harvey Morning Show
