KNOW THE TRUTH

"Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.: Psalm 55:22

"God helps those who help themselves" is an oft-heard "biblical" phrase you will have trouble finding in Scripture because it isn't there. It's just a common saying.

What does the Bible say? "Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you."
The myth that God helps those who help themselves drives us to try to do God's job. We pray, pray for change. Change in anything. Changes in our lives, our career, our children, our spouse, those nasty neighbours down the street. The list goes on and on. But nothing changes since we're the ones applying all the "fixed."

As long as we are trying to do God's job, He won't. God will stand back and wait until we stop trying to do what we've asked Him to do. Yielding to God brings marvelous results!
