Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
y'all listen to the voice. Come on, dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey oh Man got a radio show.
Man got a radio show and a whole lot mold too, Man.
God is good to me.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I have no other explanation, if I have no other
explanation of my existence and where I stand in this
thing called life, except if it was not for the
goodness of God Almighty. If it was not for His
grace and his mercy, There's no way I could exist
the way that I do. I will not be who
(00:39):
I am or where I am. I am who I
am and where I am simply because God is who
he is. If it was not for God, I would
have no testimony for you, because I would have failed
every single test plain, pure and simple. I can sit
(01:01):
here today and tell you flat out that it is
purely because of God's grace and mercy that I exist today,
because of His favor. See now, He shows us favor
in life because of a combination of things I've discovered.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
And this is not the whole answer to life.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I can assure you as not, but this is a
combination that I've grown to understand better and better, and
I wish I had gotten it earlier in my life.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
But here it is. If you take faith and you
combine it.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
With an incredible work ethic, then God has the greatest
opportunities to show you favor. That's the best way I
can explain success to you from my standard point. It
is the combination of faith and work that produces the
(02:06):
most opportunities for God to.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Show you favor.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
See a lot of times we want God to bless us,
but we ain't doing nothing for Him to bless So
now we sideways in the equation a little bit. But see,
if you had the faith in God that God can
do anything but fail, that God will get you through,
that God will see you through. That the God is
(02:30):
the God you serve, is the greatest give of all
good things. If you kept that faith intact through it all,
and you produced an incredible work ethic that allows the
most opportunities for God to show you favor. See without
that what you want God to do? See, you can
(02:52):
have faith and be sitting at the house watching TV.
There's nothing being produced opportunities for God to show you favor.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
And you got to do some things.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Man that you are uncomfortable doing or don't feel like doing,
or something that don't have the right payoff right in
front of your face, with the faith that it'll pay
off later on. See, too many people are working for
the right now reward, and the right now reward is
not how it works. Sometimes the reward is coming later
(03:27):
on up the road. But the only way you can
know that is if you got to You got to
apply the faith and see the reason you don't know
that that it's coming like that, or you have to
have faith to believe that it's coming. Because faith is
the belief in things that you cannot see.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
That's what faith is. You know you standing at let
me give you exam.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
You standing at the crosswalk with a walk sign on
it and the sign flashing on the corner.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Don't walk?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Then the signs say walk. What do you think your
chances are making it across that street?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Is what? Pretty good?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Because guess what the signs say walk? You can see
the other side. There's other people in the cross walk walking,
So guess what You strike out blindly? It don't take
a lot of faith to get across that street. That's
That's not what I'm talking to you about. I'm talking
about the faith, the belief in things that you cannot see,
(04:29):
the faith that what I'm doing today, I believe in
my heart of heart that God wouldn't bring me this
far to leave me. That God is a true and
living God, that he keeps his promises, that later on,
there's things that I'm working towards right now gonna pay
off later on. See, too many people want the reward
right now. See, that's not the exhibition of faith. If
(04:52):
it's the right thing to do, if it's if it's
a good thing to do, if it's a just thing
to do. See, if it's sin in it, it ain't God.
You can just clear it on up right there. You
can stop all the wondering. If that's his voice talking
to you, if it's the right thing to do, if
it's sin in it, it's.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Not God talking to you.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Kill it. You can shut it down. You ain't got
to wonder about it. Go down there, secret venge that
ain't God. Go tell them off when you see him.
That ain't God. Anything that's got sin in it is
not God's voice telling you to do it. So you
can kill that conversation today. That's how you know. But
if you aligning yourself up, man, and what you're doing
(05:37):
is just and right and correct and pleasing in the
sight of God, it'll pay off for you later on.
And see, here's the best way I can tell to
his Another one when you're going somewhere, when you're on
the road to going somewhere, and you know the somewhere
(05:58):
that you're trying to get to. Let's say you've set
a goal or vision for yourself. You know where you
want to get to. You got a good idea, and
you own your way to going there. Listen to me
when it gets hard, and it is going to get hard,
when it gets difficult, and it is going to get difficult,
when it becomes challenging, and it is going to become
(06:20):
challenging when it becomes.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
All three of those things.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
When it don't look like it's going to happen, don't
stop and complain so much. But see, I know he
don't bless me. But in the middle of it, man,
I felt a little heavy. And you got to be
careful when it gets hard for you, because you'll find
yourself complaining.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
And when you complain, and see, what you can't do
is you can't complain.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So much that you forget that the place that you're
trying to go to, you actually own your way there still. See,
don't get caught up into complaining and then lose sight
of your blessing that's actually.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Happening to you.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
What really, man, of all the times to register a
complaint to God, to sit up and go, hey, man,
I didn't I wanted to ease back into this thing.
Ease back in, man, you in it's a tornado whirling
around you. You ain't got time to ease back in. You
got to go on and jump back in it. It
is what it is. To whom much is given, much
(07:21):
is required. Always appreciate the blessings. Don't get so caught
up in the complaints that you lose sight of the blessings. Man,
God got a lot for you in your life. Man,
but you got to have them two things, y'all. You
got to take that faith and you got to ply
a crazy work ethic to it. And that creates the
most opportunities for God to show you favor. And when
(07:43):
God starts showing your favor, Man, all them seeds you planted,
all of that, all of that wheat you've been sowing,
all of that hard work. You've been put in God
to pay it off, and he'll pay it off in
ways that you don't even see coming. Okay, cool, you're
listening easy. Eve Harvey Morning Show
