9“The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius.10So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner.12‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’ (Matthew 20:9-12)

Thoughts: The fairness is not always from our perspective.  We compare how long, how hard. God sees us all as not deserving anything, but some as being chosen anyway.  We have no reason to grumble, and every reason to be grateful.  

Prayer: Lord, give me grace to not compare but to give you thanks.
