Wow, what a deal. I get to blog on the words about Jesus coming again. There are so many things that speak so clearly to me out of this text. I am challenged when Jesus says one of the signs of His imminent return is the fact that many men's love will grow cold. That verse challenges me because there are so many ways and days that I am tempted to close my heart become jaded and skeptical and no longer help, especially when it costs from my very soul.
But in my reading of this text the verse I would like to discuss with us today is in 25:10. In the midst of the story of the virgins Jesus said those who were ready went in with him to the wedding. Now I know that this is referring to our readiness in Christ. Do we have the indwelling Spirit of God and have we made peace with God and been born again.
But I wonder if it could not also apply to my readiness in other realms as well. Am I ready to serve through spiritual preparation and discipline. Am I ready to love through surrendered heart and life? Am I ready to hear Him through training my spirit to understand and discern the things of the Spirit.
Sometimes one of the things that goes on in my life is a pottering around that suddenly I realize an hour or two has passed and I have accomplished none of the things that I realize I need to get done today. Am I ready and if I am do I enter into the party where Jesus is the center of attention. I am praying that today God will find me ready and that we will walk in incredible intimacy today. Paul
