Some years ago, police officers in Oklahoma City discovered several drivers who were carrying around in their glove compartments a piece of paper called "God's Insurance Policy." These people were convinced that this so-called "policy" -- for which they had paid a fast-talking salesman some $285 -- met the state's motor-vehicle laws. The "policy" was no more than a collection of verses from the Bible, with a statement at the bottom indicating that it had been "issued by the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost." It also noted that, since fear causes accidents, this policy would protect its holders even better than commercial insurance.
There are always some people who would like nothing better than to sit back passively and let God take all life's problems off their hands -- even, it would seem, obtaining auto insurance. It's people like these for whom the saying was written: "God helps those who help themselves" -- or, in its more colorful variation: "Pray to God, but row toward shore."
