Day 36            Read: Matthew 25:1—13 
        
         The Bible doesn’t ask what kind of salvation
         experience you’ve had. The Bible doesn’t ask
         “When were you saved?”
         
           The Bible asks:   Are you constant?
                                               Are you rooted?         
           Not “Do you have a lamp?”         
           But “DO YOU HAVE OIL?”  
                WILL YOUR LAMP BE BURNING
                AT THE MIDNIGHT HOUR?”
         Do you have a faith that will go on praising God
         even when everything crashes down upon your head?
         
             When all things go against you....
             When everyone forsakes you....
                 will you still say, “My God is
                 good. His love for me is
                 perfect. He makes no mistakes!”
         
         Or do you have the kind of faith that flickers
         and wavers when things get rough.
         
             “I don’t believe I’m going to pray today,
              I don’t feel like it.”
         
             “I think I’ll stop giving to folks in need.
              Every time I help someone, things go bad
              for me....Nobody helps me out when I need  it!”
         
         If you have a wavering faith that flickers out
         whenever it has to endure and suffer a little...
                 you have no oil.         
             Keep your lamp of faith.
             But hurry get some oil while there is still
              time.
                   An endless supply is waiting for
                   you at the Throne of God.
