God Does Not Help Those Who Help Themselves

God helps those who help themselves. This is a lie of Satan. God does not help those who help themselves. God only help those who realize that they cannot help themselves. "Man's extremity is God's opportunity," so said the puritan writer John Flavel (1627–1691).

God is the ultimate face lover. If you do anything, you must give God face.
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31 KJV)

If you think you can help yourself, and God is just the extra, and not the main star, then you are sorely mistaken. God will not help you if you would not make Him the star. If you are also someone who is very concern about your own face, you will be in very serious trouble with God, because ultimately, God will not give anyone any face. And He made it very clear in the Bible, repeated three times over.
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. (Isaiah 45:23 KJV)
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. (Romans 14:11 KJV)
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; (Philippians 2:10 KJV)

God is the only being who can combine pride and humility.
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:3-11 KJV)

Who can be more humble and meek than our Lord Jesus Christ, who come in the form of man to die for our sins on the cross? Who can be prouder than Jesus, before whom every knee shall bow and every tongue confess?
