Speaker 1 (00:19):
You know? When I was in high school, you know,
my mother was Sunday school teaching until she passed.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I would walk out.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
The door every morning on my way to school, and
my mother used to say, listen to me, son, Hey,
don't forget. Today is the day that the Lord has made.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it. And you know,
I ain't think much of it. You know, it was
just my mama being religious, you know, my spiritual woman.
So you know I just took it as that. But
as I've gotten older, man, you know that's registered more
(00:47):
and more with me. Today is the day that the
Lord has made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
That's pretty cool, man.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
What better blessing will you get throughout the day than
the fact that he allowed you to live and see
another day. See sometimes, man, when you're young, you don't
pay no attention to that. But all you got to
do is keep living, keep watching. Some people that you
know not be here anymore. Go to class reunions and
they smaller see people that you really loved. It meant
(01:17):
a lot till you leave this world, and all of
a sudden, man, immortality starts to matter a great deal
to you. Some of us learn this lesson sooner than others.
But I know when you're young, man, you know, you
think you're gonna be here for a while. You think
you got time to play around, You think you got
time to get it together, you got time to make
the mistakes. But man, oh man, I almost every full
(01:39):
blown adult that I know will tell you and have
said these words right here many times.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
And I would see.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
The reason I'm saying is because I want you to
hear them, because you're gonna use them. If I only
knew then what I know now. Do you know how
many people have said those words right there? Because in time, man,
you gain so much wisdom. Oh but it ain't like me. No,
didn't tell you though somebody told you back then. Hey man,
it's best to buckle down now, he say, Hey man,
(02:06):
you better quit wasting time. Hey look, do your best
at all the times, you know, stop stop worrying about that.
I'm telling you, son, in a minute, them clubs ain't
gonna mean nothing to you. In a minute, that going
out all the time ain't gonna mean nothing to you.
I can't tell you how many times I repeat it
to my kids. But man, today is a different day,
because today is the day that the Lord has made.
(02:27):
So he gave you a shot today. If you woke
up this morning, or if you're finishing your day on
your shift, he gave you a new day. Nothing bigger
than the fact that he woke you up today. Now,
why don't you do something about that? Why don't you
take advantage of it? How about if you start today.
How About if you stop hesitating today. How About if
(02:47):
you stop delaying it today. How about if you stop
procrastinating today. How About if you make today to day
that you go for it. I mean, man, let's all
just decide today. Let's go for it. Let's put forth
a maximum effort today. I mean, really, man, what you're doing? Look, man,
take advantage of this blessing of waking up do something today.
(03:07):
If you would just start the process, man, start that
business you always dreamed of. Go, look into that other
job you always yearn for. Go, get the training you
need to get the promotion. Man, go back to school, man,
go see what you need to do to lift yourself
to the next level. Stop waking up every day seeing
how it's gonna go, and start waking up and do
(03:28):
something about how it goes. If you make one step,
he'll make two. But you could people talk about all
the time, man, it seemed like you're always getting a blessing.
Oh man, when you talking to a person, listen to this.
If you talking to a person and it seems like
there's always a blessing coming his way, let me tell
you what that person doing. That person is putting one
foot in front of the next. That person is putting
(03:51):
forth some efforts out there. And that's the only way
God can bless you. God can only bless you with
your efforts. He can only put his finger on the
thing that you are doing or attempting.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
That's all he can help you with.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
He there are no jobs walking up to your door,
knocking on your door. But if you beating the pavement,
if you sending in the apps, if you online scouring
somewhere to work, somewhere to get a job, then God
can touch somebody's heart to hire you. But if you
sitting at the house every day, smoke every day, drinking,
but you wonder why you just can't get a job.
The couple times you the one out there, got to
(04:28):
if you ain't got a job, you got to look
go get one every day. You got to go look
for one every single day. You can't take no days off.
How about today? How about today? If we decide today
is the day that we're gonna make the move. Today
is the day that we stop delaying, hesitating, procrastinating. Today
is the day that we take a step in the
direction to do something for ourselves, for our lives, for
(04:50):
our family, for our wives, for our children, for our community,
for our school. Do something today, for crying out loud, man,
stop in your own life, in just a stew of
misery in.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Your own life. I'm gonna tell you something.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
If you are in a state of confusion, if you
are troubling, if you're stuck on what to do next,
you let me tell you what's happening.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You're not doing enough. That's what it is. Man.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
See when I get in a place man where I
don't know what the next move is, it's because i'd
unusually stalled out.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
See this is the way God works. This is the
way He's worked for me.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Every time I'm busy and I'm about the business of
always trying to live my creed, which is ABC.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
My model is ABC. Always be closing.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I'm always working on something, something to close something. When
you're so busy with the business of improving yourself and
doing with yourself and becoming the best you you can be,
God is always working on your behalf, behind some scene
of something that you're in the process of temper to close.
(06:01):
But because you're not doing all you can do, you're
limiting you. You are because of your decision not to
give you all and all, you're limiting the opportunities for
God to put his finger on things in touch them
on your behalf. I don't know if the average person
really understands or knows what it takes to truly be
(06:23):
successful on whatever level you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
But whatever that.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Level is, I don't care what a dollar amount you've
got attached to it, what level you got if you
have made the decision that you're going to be successful,
I think that a lot of people, the average person
does not know what that means. Whatever level you've decided
to be successful on See, that's your level of faith,
that's where you see your life at. Well, guess what
(06:49):
you got to maximize your efforts to even get to
that level.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
So listen to me.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
If you want to be successful at your church, if
you want to be successful in your relationship, if you
want to be successful down at the daycassing, if you
want to be successful at your college, if you want
to be successful on your job, guess what it's gonna
take all you got in that world to become a success.
I don't know why people think that. If you don't
(07:16):
want to be what somebody else said, you ain't got
to put forth that effort.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Now, Nah, I ain't wrong.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
You've got to put forth your maximum effort at whatever
role you trying to accomplish. Lord have mercy. Man. How
about today though, y'all? How about today? Today is a
good one. Let's make today today. Let's get out of that.
Let's get on with it. Stop hesitating, stop delaying, stop procrastinating,
start today. Watch God have something to put his finger
(07:44):
on there. And that's all you're trying to do. Man,
To line yourself up with God's grace, you got to
put out a lot of effort so God can put
his finger on something. You feel me today, I shall
hope you do because I'm on one today.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
