why GOD help those who help themselves?

Answer 1

Because otherwise you reward laziness... It helps to discourage parasitism and medicancy. Helping people is not wrong but making people useless (by guaranteeing them a work-free source of goods) is.

Example: You give money to a poor beggar...but instead of using it to say help himself find a job he uses it just for cigars or food. While this is not wrong it will mean that at the end of the day he will still be poor and you just wasted money on the poor guy. What will be worse is that he now thinks that there will always be "good" guys who will always give him money so he will never work and he will just sit there in his corner waiting for the next poor bastard who'll hand him a few bucks. Thus he will never get out of his pit while he also becomes a burden to others.

Answer 2

Well, while I agree with Martin that God helps the helpless, even God expects us to help ourselves by first taking a leap of faith. Those that were healed first had to have faith, those that were brought back from the dead had to have others who believed. The only example of this I know of as an exception is when Lazarus died, he was one of Jesus' best friends, and everyone was angry and disappointed that he had waited so long to come, they thought it was hopeless (it had been three days). But you never know, there may have been one person in that crowd of mourners who had "faith the size of a mustard seed", which Jesus said could move mountains.

So, while there may actually be someone out there in a coma who cannot help themselves, most people can at least reach out in faith. To me, this constitutes helping themselves.

Answer 3

God helps thos who help themselves because we have to take responsibility for ourselves. We can ask for prayers to be answered and God will answer. It is that sometimes the answer is no. but if we take action to help iurselves and pray for guidance and help out of the situation you will probably get a yes and see things change.
Here is an anology: if you have a child and that child is having trouble with math. If you do the work for them are they going to learn what thye need to know No so you help them and teach them and then they have learned. But they have to work at it also.

Answer 4

It may come as a surpirse to you but that isn't in the Bible.
Truth of the matter is God help's those that can't help themselves.

Answer 5

That's not in the Bible. The Bible teaches that God helps those who cannot help themselves.

Answer 6

As some have told you that isn't in the bible. The bible teaches us to not lean on our understanding, but to fully rely on God Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I can drive a car, and have years of experience, but listening to that small still voice, I have been saved from car wrecks. I could give you many incidents like that.Be blessed in Jesus.

Answer 7

Who would you help? Those who lay there in their pit and cry out "oh woe is me, everything is the pits and I'm the main cherry in it" or someone struggling to get out, climbing the walls of their pit, trying to get a handhold on the walls to raise themselves up higher?

I know I'd offer a hand to the one struggling to get out the best way they know how. I'd be sort of relunctant to even try to help the one who says "just leave me, I'm a danger to mission .... just leave me ammo, water, a few chips if you got 'em" lol

Answer 8

I've always wondered how that works when people are in a situation where they cannot help themselves (i.e. they're unfairly imprisoned or tortured). Guess god is a capitalist lol.

Answer 9

God *doesn't* help anyone because he doesn't exist. People who help themselves, help themselves...

Answer 10

Cause he can`t help those who just sit around waiting for miracle to happen.Getting off the couch and start doing something actually works.
