Fishermen

I've heard it said that "God helps those who help themselves" It took me a while to find the falsie in this. It seems very true to the physical mind but if you look at all the examples giving in the bible it doesn't fit any of them. All of them every single one except Jesus had problems and couldn't do it by them selves. I think this statement should be replaced with the statement "God helps those who cant' help themselves". Who would think a bunch of fishermen would be read about 2000 + years latter.
