Does God Really Help Those Who........ by tianaj03

Does God Really Help Those Who Help Themselves, Or Help Those Who Can't Help Themselves?

Both.  God provides talent, opportunity, and energy for people to help themselves.  For those who can't help themselves, He teaches them dependence.  Their weakness showcases His strength.

Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, which, having no captain, overseer or ruler, provides her suppplies in the summer and gathers her food in the harvest.

Excellent devotional !! I have wrestled with this a few times. I think it was St. Francis of Assissi who said that "God helps those who help themselves." But people like me take that as an excuse to take over the reins. lol. My pastor gave me a good interpretation.

God sometimes gives us the tools to handle situations in our lives. But He knows that we are best off if we are relying on Him as we utilize His tools.
