Matthew 25:1-13 tells us the story of the virgins -5 were ready with oil in their lamps.
I came home from work tonight (this morning) to a dark house. The power was out in the whole neighborhood. Buster had candles aglow on the kitchen table. In the living room he had an oil lamp lit. It was so romantic. Ok, well it would have been if he were not upset at the electric being out. lol
Are we ready to serve Jesus? Is our lamp full? or is it sitting on a shelf in the back of the basement behind an empty paint can collecting dust and webs? Is our walk deliberate or are we just coasting though?
One very important way that we can assist our Bridegroom for the marriage feast is to pray for others.
Andrew Murray says, ” As the members of His body, as a holy priesthood, we shall take part in His priestly work of pleading and prevailing with God for men. Yes, let us joyfully say, ignorant and weak though we are, Lord, teach us to pray.”
