GRASSHOPPER OR THE ANTS ?

I journeyed to the bookstore today, to buy several children's books, for birthday gifts. The first one, was one of my favorite's......."The Grasshopper And The Ant". What a story, folks! The ants had gathered food all year long, and stored it up, for the winter months, while the Grasshopper, just thought, that was the most foolish thing to do! He felt, as if, "the world owed him a living",but.......
after, the winter months arrived,the ants had plenty to eat, and lived happily, while the grasshopper froze, from hunger!!!
........Sometimes,on our Christian walk, we think the world "owes us a living" too, and instead of gathering up God's word everyday, for security during the winter months of our lives, we choose to freeze from hunger,rather than accepting God's gracious gift of life.(I think it's called pride folks!)
God has given us all of this, because He wanted to.......not because we were owed it! Now the choice is ours!
Which one are we gonna be? The Grasshopper, or the Ant?
