Matthew 25:5 ESV
As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.
Sometimes waiting is the hardest part of life. Simply waiting can often make us dull, or impatient. We can lose focus and resolve all too easily when we get still and we grow weary, unless we remain intent and alert. We can get too comfortable where we are in a way that slows us down in our journey to God.
Mark 14:37-38
And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “ Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Revelation 2:25-26
Only hold fast what you have until I come. The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations,
Romans 13:11
Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.
