What quotes do you often hear that people claim are scripture yet you know otherwise?

One that I can’t stand is, “God helps those who help themselves.” Many are surprised to learn that nowhere in the Bible does that appear. In fact, God doesn’t want you to be a solely independent spirit.

God often sends others into our lives to help- and… us to help them. In the Bible, 2nd Corinthians, chapter 11, Paul had to depend on others to lower him in a basket to escape outside the city wall. And I imagine it must have been tough for Paul to find enough humility to depend on others.

Maybe you have a hard time asking for help. But, God rarely asks us to fly solo.

You can depend on others, and more importantly, you can depend on Him!
