[S] Matthew 25:9 (NIV) --
“ ‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
[O] The ten wise virgins brought extra oil for the lamps and when the other ten requested to share the oil, they denied because there wasn't enough for all of them. They were the wise ones because they prepared in advance but what impressed me more today was the fact that they were wise enough to gauge how much oil they had and refused to share. It's not the un-sharing part but the wisdom to know how to live out their purpose to the max without any compromise.
[A] I only have a limited amount of resources to achieve God-given purpose for my life to the max. I need to have the wisdom to know how much amount of resources I have and use it wisely without running out before my mission is accomplished here on earth.
[P] Dear Father, grant me the wisdom to use my energy and resources You have placed in my life for the soul purpose of carrying out Your mission for me here on earth. May I know when to say "no" so that I won't run out of gas (oil) doing non-essential things. In Jesus' name. Amen.
