Come come, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody, you all listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I thank God for it every day. I try to remember that too, you know. I try to remember to be grateful. I think gratitude is one of the things that helps keep me grounded. You can go as far as you want in life. If you don't mind who gets the credit. Well, that applies to God too, don't it. I mean, you know, really, if you don't mind who gets the credit. I'm surrounded by very competent people. I'm surrounded by a lot of people who work hard on their jobs, on their career, who are dedicated employees and also just dedicated to their families and you know, dedicated to their own set of aspirations. I don't expect anybody to work for me forever. I always look at my job opportunities as stepping stones because I want everyone around me really to aspire to be more. I mean, that's really the way I am. I'm not any other way. I'm not trying to hold you to this position, you know, tell you there's no room for growth any of that. But even though I'm surrounded by these people, I'm grateful that God placed them in my path, in my life, But in my mind, in my spirit, in everything in me, the credit still belongs to God. I'm sorry, the credit still belongs to God. See if you would, just for a moment, stop thinking about yourself, just for a moment. I know that's hard, but just for a moment, stop thinking about yourself and realize that maybe you are who you are because.

God is who he is. Maybe that's the case.

Have you ever considered that that's the strongest possibility I can give to you? You know, how do you think you the one that made it through? How you think you the one after all of the ignorant decisions we have made? And oh my goodness, let's all be honest. Ain't we made some crazy decisions I'm talking about man, I have made decisions so adverse to my destiny and career, my promises. I've made some decisions man, knowingly you hear me, knowingly do something wrong, And in spite of all that, I'm still here standing. Okay, come on now, really, really, all the dirt you'd bene done, everybody done dirt, all the mistakes you've made you in the position you in today because of what? Because you all that? Because you work harder than anybody else. Look, I work hard, I'll be I'll tell you in a minute.

I work hard.

But I don't think I'm the hardest working person out there. I'm pretty sure somebody done work way harder than I have. So okay, so you work hard? Okay, cool? I got all that. But man, what about his grace and his mercy? What about his favor? How many times man you done relied on that even when you ain't know you was relying on it? How many times man God done shown you mercy? You ain't even deserve it? Do you know how many things I've done wrong? I just ain't get caught at it?

You know. Let me see how simple I can be. You speed, you Jaywall.

You lie to police at least when you get pulled over that you wasn't speeding. You go to court and argue you wasn't speeding when you was. You make U turns. I'm just doing traffic violations. Now, let's get off traffic for a second. Let's get on human violations. You talk about people when you're not supposed to. You indulge yourself in gossip, even when you don't really have all the facts. You pass judgment, You lust for people that don't belong to you. You say things to people that you're not supposed to say. So look, all of us, we all were all guilty. Now see, I'm not saying you do all of that, but I'm saying I'm pretty sure I hit you somewhere in there, just somewhere in there. You donet lied before you know you lied recently. I mean, come on, And I'm just saying so with all that in mind. See, I'm just looking at the little things that we do that we don't get busted for. Not to mention the chips you stole when you was a kid and nobody caught you. Well, that elevated, didn't it. And some of y'all just didn't stop stealing, And next thing you know, you was in a car. Now you're sitting somewhere you don't want to be sitting because of a decision you made.

But through his grace and mercy, couldn't it have been worse? Though?

Without his grace and mercy, could not it have been worse? I know two dudes that got caught in the garage one time trying to break in somebody's house, and the person in the house they broke into just happened to have a gun and held them in the garage, caught them and held them to the garage to the police car. That's Grace and Mercy right there, because they had all full right to shoot these two people, but they didn't. They're Grace and Mercy. See, all of us have benefited from his grace and mercy. All of us have done a wrong, committed a sin, broken the law, and somehow, through his grace and mercy, got by, doing drugs, buying drugs, slanging drugs, doing something, got by, jumped on somebody for no reason, got by, you know. So see how you figure with all that that can go on in your life. And then hold on, let me throw a couple more at you. You can't wake yourself up in the morning, mister big shot. You don't have the ability to control the breaths that you take. Really, mister big shot, really, let's get real basic.

With it now. You can't wake yourself up in the morning.

That's favor, that's Grace, that's Mercy, that's him allowing you to wake up just hoping we get it right. You know, God spared me through all the dirt I was doing, just hoping one day, Man, can you just straighten up a little bit? When I finally straightened up, and I'm gonna just say it straightened up a little bit. See, I ain't up all the way. Say I ain't gonna sit here and tell you that I just straightened up a little bit. He started blessing me. So the more blessings I got start going, Man, maybe I'll try straighten up a little bit more. So I straightened up a little bit more. I still got a long way to go, but I'm straighter than I was now. When people judging me and as they will, and they do because that ain't right, but they do, and I ain't walking just the way they walk.

Then here come to criticism. I get it all the time.

Stop wanting credit all the time, and give out some credit where credit is due instead of having somebody patting.

You on your back all the time.

Why don't you tell God, tell people it was really was God, man, that you don't really know how you made it? That really man, you have no explanation for your success, or you have no explanation why you still exist in today. Why don't you tell somebody it was God today. Don't be ashamed. It's the truth, ain't it. I mean, really, man, let's give God some credit here. Give God the credit and the glory and the honor. And like that plaque said, you can go as far as you want in life if you don't.

Mind who gives the credit. All right, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show
