Time is not Forever

13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
Matthew 25:13 (NKJV)

The seasons and timing of life never remains the same. The way today is may probably not be the same tomorrow. Many things we take for granted may not be there tomorrow, hence the need for us to seize the moment and work the works of Him and our purpose and calling. The foolish virgins played down the importance and criticality of timing in their lives. They had their priorities upside down and pursued other concerns of life without adequate preparation for the coming Groom. They were too much into career, world news, and all the glitz and glamor of their day, leaving the most important (preparing to meet the groom) and had inadequate preparation for the coming of the bridegroom. The legitimate concerns and cares of life choked their attention and focus on their Lord, and ultimately derailed them from pursuing their purpose and mission in life. While a little slumber and slacking was convenient, they eventually lost out in the end.

The days and time may seem forever, but our timing here is finite and we must pick up the pace, seizing every moment and making it count for the Kingdom of God. Time is short and not forever, let us get about His business.
