In today’s 5-Minute Daily Devotional, we reflect on Matthew 25:1 and the parable of the ten bridesmaids.

Like the wise bridesmaids, God calls us to live prepared—faithful in the waiting, ready for the moment when what we’ve been believing for finally arrives. Preparation doesn’t earn the blessing, but it positions us to receive it.

In today’s 5-Minute Daily Devotional, we reflect on 1 John 4:19 and the truth that we love only because God first loved us.
