The Parable of the ten virgins found in Matthew 25:1-13 tells the story of ten virgins awaiting the arrival of the bridegroom. Five of them were wise and came prepared with extra oil for their lamps, while the other five were foolish and did not bring enough oil. When the bridegroom arrived, the wise virgins were able to enter the wedding feast with him, while the foolish virgins were left outside in the darkness.

This passage serves as a reminder to always be prepared for the coming of the Lord, as we do not know the day or the hour. It highlights the importance of being spiritually ready for the return of Christ, so that we may not be caught unprepared like the foolish virgins. The daily application from this parable is to ensure that we are constantly nurturing our relationship with God, staying connected to Him through prayer, reading His Word, and living in obedience to Him.

This passage is unique to the Gospel of Matthew and emphasizes the importance of spiritual readiness and vigilance in the life of a believer. It serves as a warning to not be complacent in our faith but to always be prepared for the coming of the Lord.
