Matthew 25:5-9 King James Version (KJV)
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
Matthew 25:5-9 Common English Bible (CEB)
5 “When the groom was late in coming, they all became drowsy and went to sleep. 6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Look, the groom! Come out to meet him.’
7 “Then all those bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps. 8 But the foolish bridesmaids said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps have gone out.’
9 “But the wise bridesmaids replied, ‘No, because if we share with you, there won’t be enough for our lamps and yours. We have a better idea. You go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
5 This refers to the foolish brides, they rested, those that are foolish only serve for a time and then they lose their passion.
6 The Lord will come and everyone will know but the question is when we meet Him will we be ready.
7 They went to see the Bridegroom. We should be excited to see the Lord if we are in the right place.
8 The foolish did not have oil to go find the Bridegroom, they could not go see the Lord because their faith was weak and was not strong enough for them to carry them to Him.
9 We can not make it on others oil or faith we have to allow on our own faith in Him to carry us, if we don’t got enough oil or faith we have to rely on Him for the amount we need, often times if we are lacking in faith it is because we allowed something to stand in our way.
