“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.”
Matthew 25:1-4 (NKJV)
- Pray that God will give you the wisdom to choose to do now what you will be happy with later. Pray that He will help you think of what lies beyond the moment, as you plan and prepare wisely for the final outcome of your choices.
- Cultivate a heart that seeks God through intimacy and fervent affection. Draw close to Jesus, not just surviving, but thriving so that your lamp is being filled with fresh oil daily.
The wise were prepared while the foolish were presumptuous!
