The parable of the Ten Virgins reminds us that things are not always what they seem at the beginning. Testing and time have a way of revealing the substance of a person. Those who make no preparation to meet God and those who think that they can push it off for a later day are like the foolish virgins who wake up to find that it is too late. The door of God's mercy will be closed before they expect. Those who prepare early, who have their fill of the Spirit, and who persevere through the night will be ushered in to the wedding feast to enjoy Christ forever. Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb (Rev. 19:9).
