Grace for your spirit December 15, 2011

Grace for your spirit
Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of the were foolish, and five were prudent. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom was delaying, the all got drowsy and begin to sleep. Matthew 25:1-5

This is a word picture about us being ready to meet Jesus. Jesus is our bridegroom, and we are the brides in waiting. We don't know when He is coming, so we need to be ready at all times. It is foolish for us to doze off without taking care of our spiritual business first. These foolish virgins thought they would be able to get ready later, but they were wrong. The bridegroom came and they missed out. Five were prudent, five were foolish. Five were prepared, five were not. Five went in, five were on the outside looking in. The prudent thing for us to do each day is be ready to meet Jesus. Let's not be foolish and put our preparations off until later. "O Prepare To Meet Your God."

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
