People<\/em> magazine reported. Harvey still hasn’t forgotten those meager times in his life and wants to motivate others to endure during their struggles.<\/p>\n“In every single moment of adversity in your life, two things are going to happen: There’s going to be a lesson and there’s going to be a blessing. If you let the adversity crumble you, you will lay there and wallow in the failure, but life is 10 percent what happened and 90 percent what you’re going to do about it.”<\/p>\n
His advice is to back up your faith with action, as James 2:17 reminded. “So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.”<\/p>\n
The host of the “Family Feud” believes you need to hang in there if you are going to succeed.Why?<\/p>\n
“You can never know where God is just waiting for you to pass the test. But you have to stay with something and go through the test to get to the end.”<\/p>\n
Harvey is not shy about explaining the power of God to his audience. He also shared that God is the only one that you can trust and that His word is 100 percent absolute. His Word doesn\u2019t have loopholes in it, unlike people. \u201cNow, you can deviate off your end of the bargain, but it doesn’t stop what He says from being true. But if He asks you to do something, if God asks you to be a certain way, to do a little something a certain way and you don\u2019t do it that way, then, you know, you could still possibly get by for a while, but don\u2019t you understand that His end of the deal stays the same?”<\/p>\n
Harvey said he leaned on people for too long and the results were disappointing. But he learned to put his trust in God.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m telling you. I had to start learning this for real until I finally got it \u2013 to stop putting my faith in people and put all of mine in God where it counts the most. Now, is that to say that there are people that you can\u2019t trust? No, that\u2019s not what I\u2019m saying. I ain\u2019t saying you can\u2019t trust them. But you can\u2019t dump your faith in them. Man, if I could tell you anything this morning, it\u2019s 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,” he shared with his audience.<\/p>\n
Harvey taught that giving thanks keeps you grounded. There is a gift hidden in thanksgiving and it will rejuvenate your faith life. We can find peace, hope and there might be an answer to a problem that God is trying to get to you. It is through thanksgiving, that God works on our behalf.<\/p>\n
No matter what your situation is, there is always a bigger picture and looking at through Scripture can help you. But understand that we might never have the answers to our questions. Take peace in the fact that you are not alone and that God knows what He is doing. When Harvey lived in his Ford Tempo for three years and ate bologna sandwiches, he had no choice, but to trust the One who saves. \u201cIt was crushing,\u201d he told People<\/em>. \u201cI realized, you\u2019re on your own. You have nothing or no one.”<\/p>\nFor this reason, we need to read what God’s Word has to say about us. We know the classic Scripture in John 3:16: \u201cFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” When in doubt, go back to the Word and trust God’s plan for you.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m running from homelessness,\u201d he said. \u201cI can\u2019t ever be in that position again. If my show gets canceled, I\u2019ve got three more. I don\u2019t have any free time, but I have 12 jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
