Years ago I was giving a sermon on Bible reading, and I used the dictum "God helps those who help themselves", with a ppt slide that had that verbiage and "Proverbs 31:32"
I lingered a few seconds and watched a few quizzical looks, and sadly a LOT of nodding heads.
I gently told them that is not found anywhere in the Bible, and reinforced the need to be familiar with their Bibles, less they be drawn astray.
“less” should be “lest” - old eyes....
Good on you! It is amazing how many people really think the Bible says that. It is completely antithetical to the gospel!
