"God helps those who help themselves" — most people think that's in the Bible. It isn't. It's Benjamin Franklin. And Scripture says something far better — and far harder. Through a king who trained an army then fell to his knees, a man who walked away from a fortune he'd already paid, and a war psalm that commands "be still" in the middle of the chaos, here's the real picture: you were never the load-bearing wall. Bring your best — but trust His hands.
