In my understanding as a Catholic, God helps people not directly
but through the hands of men.
God will not directly feed the poor on the streets but he's
relying on us to feed the poor... on His behalf. For when we serve
another, we are serving God indirectly as we are afterall God's
creation.
so if you are sick, God works through the doctor to try to cure
you... but only if that is His will. if He does not wish for you to
recover, then of course He plans for you to join Him up there as
soon as possible.
my mother in law passed away in April this year from lung
cancer's complications... when we first found out 4 years ago, the
doctor gave her only 6 months but through prayers AND medical
treatment, she lasted 4 years in which she saw her daughter got
married and also know she is with child before she decided enough
is enough and left us... so all in all, God do help those who help
themselves. my mother in law who sought treatment and encouraged by
constant prayer that God will give her enough time to "settle" some
of her worries... amen.
what a brilliant way of explanation, attributing the law of
nature and physics as god's creations.
of course you will say this naturally, since you believed in
god, but not everyone in this world is a god believer. It is just
like one have just discovered a new truth, but some
people come to claim it, saying it is god's creations. what a
convenient way of putting it to claim credit. so the poor man,
having worked all his life to experiment, deduct, hypothesis to
discover the new truth, his hard work is being undone by a simple
explanation due god's creations.
I can't accept this kind of simplicity and lack of logic
explanation, everything due to god's creations and will or god
works in mysterious ways.
