Friday (August 30): The foolish will miss heaven's wedding feast


Scripture:  Matthew 25:1-13 

"Then the kingdom of heaven shall be compared to ten maidens who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. But at midnight there was a cry, `Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' Then all those maidens rose 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 replied, `Perhaps there will not be enough for us and for you; go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.' And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut. Afterward the other maidens came also, saying, `Lord, lord, open to us.' But he replied, `Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.' Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour."

Preparasyon nan atô entiro kinabuhi - lawas sanan espiritu - an pinaka-importante na aksiyon nan tawo sa ija tibook pagkatawo.

Nahibayo kita tanan kon uno’y ato dangatan pag-abot nan panahon na ipadangat ni Lord an Ija paghukom sa tanan kataw’han.

Kada gutlo nan atô kinabuhi, permi kita hatagan ni Lord nan Ija pasidaan na kinahang’lan magbag’o gajud kita nan atô mga pamayhon para maka-pangajo kita nan pasaylo sanan kalooy gikan Dija kay gusto man lagi natô na nahilangit.

Amo na ipangaliya gajud natô permi kan Lord Jesus na hatagan kita Nija nan katakos na makadawat nan Ija grasya sanan kalooy despuwes madawat natô an kusog na ihatag Nija para maka-preparar kita sa atô mga kinabuhi pagkatapos, andam sanan angajan na dajon kita na moatubang Dija pag-abot na panahon.
