3 Those who were FOOLISH took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the FOOLISH said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; BUT GO RATHER TO THOSE WHO SELL, AND BUY FOR YOURSELVES.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

Hear what the Spirit is saying…don’t try to save your life to forfeit the higher life (Matt. 16:25; Luke 9:24)…things are passing away (1 John 2:17).
