My dad, a Baptist minister early in his life always said, God helps those who help themselves!!!
Very true. History has shown that we are in a kind of partnership with God and we have to fight our fight on earth against evil or else evil can triumph. But I believe God gives us some help at critical times. Just look at the way Israel always defeats enemies who have far more soldiers and tanks. The Israelis fight hard, but they seem to get a little help too.
