God's Generosity

Matthew 20

Inspired thots

God is liken to the householder who hires workers throughout the day and pays them fairly; well, at least in His own judgment. The earlier hired workers may not be happy to receive the same wages as the later hired workers but God is fair AND generous; He owes no one. He pays the workers the same because He loves each one.

He honors His word to the earlier workers with the agreed wage but He is compassionate to the later hired workers who are obedient and willing to work for Him. We should not begrudge God's generosity on others or covet more blessings from Him when He treats us well and fair. There is no need to be better than others or be more blessed than others. Do not covet or want to be like the Joneses.
