Steve Harvey delivered a riveting message on his morning radio show last Friday when he charged his listeners to stop putting their faith in people and start putting their faith in God.
His 3-minute message below is a powerful reminder of where our strength comes from and why God is the only One we can truly rely on to guide us through life’s struggles and triumphs. This one hit me HARD.
The following is a full transcript of Harvey’s message:
“Man, if I could tell you anything this morning, it’s to stop putting your faith in people, and put your faith in God where it counts the most. I mean, you can get something out of this one.
“See, here’s the deal about a relationship with God. It’s the same all the time. He never changes. His word is 100 percent absolute. His word doesn’t have loopholes in it. None of that. This is what it is. He’s very clear.

And as long as you’re not doing it the way you’re supposed to the results are not going to be what you want it to be.
“And I did this for years and years and years. And I counted on people. I got myself in a lot of situations, and I got out of one at just the end of last year, a dire situation that I had been in for a number of years. But He had protected me for years prior to that. I didn’t even know what was going on. Then He made me aware of the problem in 2008, and then man – Lord have mercy – I was in a dismal situation. And then, at the end of the year, I was free, free from it all. But it was a decision that I had made that led up to that.
“In going through that process I had to learn something, man. I learned a lot about people.
