Bible Question:
Please, is there any part of the bible where the following clause is written : 'Heaven helps those who help themselves'? If yes, please give me a reference. Thanks, UncleCnn. |
Bible Answer: UncleCnn. That statement cannot be found anywhere in the Bible. Samuel Smiles (1812-1904) published the first self-consciously personal-development "self-help" book — entitled "Self-Help" — in 1859. Its opening sentence- "Heaven helps those who help themselves", provides a variation of "God helps them that help themselves", the oft-quoted maxim that also appeared previously in Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac (1733 - 1758).
