KEEP WAITING=FOR THE LORD!

 

KEEP WAITING=FOR THE LORD

(Don’t Give Up!)

 

Today we have=the

FAMOUS PARABLE=in Matthew about

The ten virgins=who are

WAITING for the Lord

 

FIVE were wise=and PREPARED

For the Lord=with oil=for their lamps

And five did not

 

Five were UNPREPARED and missed out=

ON the wedding banquet

KEEP WAITING=FOR THE LORD

 

“……..but the WISE=brought flasks

Of oil=with their lamps=……..at midnight

There was a cry!=’Behold=the bridegroom!

Come out to meet him!’”                                                                                                           Matthew 25:4, 6

 

We live=in a VERY IMPATIENT WORLD

My friends=we don’t want

To WAIT a moment=for anything

 

But we have to=STAY PATIENT=

Stay wise=stay prepared

For WHEN the Lord comes back=and

HIS SECOND COMING!

 

“A person’s WISDOM=YIELDS PATIENCE=

It is=to one’s glory

To overlook an offense”                                                                                                   Proverbs 19:11

 

“…….being strengthened =with all power=

According to his glorious might=so

That you have=Great endurance and PATIENCE”                                                      Colossians 1:11

 

I would bet=the five virgins=that

Didn’t have their oil=wished that

They had been more patient=MORE WISE

When the bridegroom showed

 

And we will be too=IF

We give up the fight=OF WAITING

For Jesus==and God the Holy Father

IN the Second Coming

KEEP WAITING=FOR THE LORD

(Don’t Give Up!)

 

Be READY=to GREET the Lord

When he comes again=STAY WISE

Stay patient

KEEP WAITING=FOR THE LORD

 

“The fruit of the righteous=

Is a tree=of life=and the one

WHO IS WISE=saves lives”                                                                                         Proverbs 11:30

 

“THOSE WHO ARE WISE=will shine

Like the brightness=of the heavens=and

Those who lead many=to righteousness

Like the stars for ever and ever”                                                                                  Daniel 12:3

 

Dear Lord=We PRAY for the PATIENCE

And the WISDOM=to KEEP WAITING-

FOR THE LORD=and not give up

 

And that=when the LORD COMES AGAIN

That the CHURCH=and the whole world

Will be READY AND WAITING=for him

KEEP WAITING=FOR THE LORD

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER WISE=PATIENT=and loving

Holy Father God!
