” Complete your outdoor tasks, and arrange your work in the field; afterward you can build your house.” – Proverbs 24:27
Thank you Lord for this beautiful morning. How are you guys? Have faith. Greater things are on their way.
Did you know? Data shows, only 50% among us are ready to perform the tasks.
My best friend told me a story to tell – The Ten Bridesmaids. And here it goes…
” The Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. But only five of them were wise enough to fill their lamps with oil, while the other five were foolish and forgot.
” So, when the bridegroom was delayed, they lay down to rest until midnight, when they were roused by the shout, ‘ The bridegroom is coming! Come out and welcome him! ‘
” All the girls jumped up and trimmed their lamps. Then the five who hadn’t any oil begged the others to share with them, for their lamps were going out.
” But the others replied, ‘We haven’t enough. Go instead to the shops and buy some for yourselves.’
” But while they were gone, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was locked.
” Later, when the other five returned, they stood outside, calling, ‘ Sir, open the door for us!’
” But he called back, ‘ Go away! It is too late!’
” So stay awake and be prepared, for you do not know the date or moment of my return.
