Thought For Today

(Jesus continued the parable of the 10 virgins – 5 wise and 5 foolish. He likened it to heaven. It is our choice — we will be wise or 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. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him.’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you, but go rather to those who sell and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding, and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Watch therefore, for you know neither the day, nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.’” Matthew 25:3 – 13

Oh how great it is to be given the choice of waiting and watching. My choice is to wait and watch. I know You are coming back. Thank You. Thank You Lord.
