An Unexpected Long Delay


The Parable of the Ten Virgins is a picture of the church waiting for Christ's return. The Bridegroom tarries creating . When he finally arrives, he finds half the virgins unprepared to meet him. 

The difference between the wise and the foolish virgins in the parable is not that one group did not have oil, but that one group did not have enough for the unexpectedly long delay.  In the event that you must wait on God longer than expected, do you have enough to wait maintaining the right attitude?
