The Ten Virgins, Be Prepared Before the Opportunity Comes
📖 Matthew 25:13 (NKJV)
“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”
My Dear Children,
In the story of the ten virgins, Jesus teaches us an important lesson about being prepared. Ten young women were waiting for the bridegroom. Five were wise and carried extra oil. Five were foolish and carried none. When the bridegroom finally arrived, only the prepared ones were ready to go with him.
This story reminds us that some opportunities come suddenly. If we are not prepared, we can miss them completely. The five wise virgins did not wait until the last minute. They made sure they had what they needed long before the moment arrived. Their preparation became the key to their success.
In life, God blesses those who are ready. Preparation shows responsibility, discipline, and wisdom.
Relevance to Life and Family:
Many good things happen to families that prepare well. School success, building good habits, saving money, practicing skills, and prayer all require steady preparation. When you prepare daily, you are ready when the opportunity finally appears.
At TotMind Schools, every lesson you learn is part of your “oil.” Every book you read, every skill you practice, and every good habit you form prepares you for a future opportunity. Do not wait until the last moment. Do your best now.
Families that prepare together grow together. Preparation brings peace, strength, and readiness to face whatever comes.
Family Reflection:
- What areas of our life need better preparation
- How can we avoid waiting until the last minute
- What steps can we take today to be ready for tomorrow’s opportunities
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, teach us to be wise and prepared in everything we do.
Help our family build good habits, stay ready, and use our time well.
Remind us to prepare our hearts, our minds, and our responsibilities with care.
May we be counted among the wise who are ready when opportunities come.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
