"The Lord helps those who help themselves"

That is a popular phrase.

In one sense it's true. If we walk by faith in Christ and believe His Word instead walking in the traditions of men, then yes He will honor our faith. His Word says so!

On the other hand if we walk in our own flesh thinking we can do it all on our own without Him, He cannot help us.

[Dec31,1999]

When the going gets real bad, I hit my knees and say a prayer. It's saved my butt more than once, I'll tell ya! Thanks for the thoughtful response.

"The Lord helps those who help themselves" That is a popular phrase.

Not to be found in the Bible however. It comes from Aesop's Fables.
