Action Needed

We are reminded of the little girl who told a friend who was visiting her father that her brothers set traps to catch birds. He asked her what she did. She replied, “I prayed that the traps might not catch the birds.” “Anything else?” “Yes,” she said, “I prayed that God would keep the birds out of the traps.” “Anything else?” “Yes, then I went and kicked the traps all to pieces.” That little girl was bright enough to understand that life needed action as well as prayers.
