The themes of our reading today are becoming quite familiar. We are warned against our infidelity to our Lord. Even in the midst of God's bringing of destruction upon the people of Israel, though, he is calling them to repentance. Turn from your evil, trust in the Lord, and you will be forgiven. Look to the future! Like the wise virgins in Matthew 25, takes teps that seem foolish in this age. Prepare for the future coming of the Lord. Take his word for it. He will not follow expected patterns. So prepare in unexpected ways.
Do we look for our Lord when we least expect him, later than we would plan, but coming in his power and majesty to make all things right? May we ever have such trust in him.
