The whole balance of Matthew 24, 25 is precisely that. It's precisely about here's how we wait. Jesus wants us on the edge of our seats all the time, every day. He even says that blessed is the servant, verse 46, whom when his Lord comes finds him so doing. The purpose of the parable is like, we've got to have this for ourselves and be ready for what comes.
