3“About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’5So they went. (Matthew 20:3-5)
Thoughts: The owner of the vineyard wanted to get his grapes in fast. He didn't have enough workers to make it happen. The standard pay of that day was a denarius. The parable is about the last workers receiving the same day's pay as the first workers.
In some ways it is a reminder that the time that you believe is not the most important factor in an award from the Maker. What is important is that God calls some to take part in His kingdom. He calls people not because they have already proved themselves, but only from His good pleasure.
Prayer: Lord, help me to find peace and satisfaction in you no matter when you call me to yourself.
