I don't mean to insult you but your logic is very lame. I trust God yet I have a job to earn money to house and feed my family. In your world is that a lack of faith and trust in God? Should I just quit my job and sit on my big fat butt and let God deliver the goods?
Being prepared to defend yourself is much like going to a doctor. Going to a doctor does not mean I don't believe God can heal me. It means I am doing all that I can do with the resources I have to help myself AND asking God for divine intervention also.
Kind of like the story of the guy in the flood who was stranded on top of his house while the flood water rose. He first rejected the rescue offer of a guy in a boat and then a helicopter, telling the would be rescuers that God would save him. He drowns and when he gets to heaven asks the Lord "why didn't you save me? I was trusting in you!". The Lord said " I sent a boat and a helicopter and you ignored both of them".

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
