God is the same as in the
story of Moses,
the people grumbling, not
understanding.
God providing manna and
quail, water in the desert.
The same was true of the
people coming out of the fields,
wanting to be paid, like
Adam, sweating for his food.
But they forgot about grace.
They all misunderstood, like
us needing the lesson,
God provides for all our
needs.
We must trust in His
promise.
We are to be working, in the
fields, in the vineyards,
by the seas, wherever God
plants us, when we say yes,
but God is the owner, the
Creator of all that is.
The wages the same, at the
end of the day,
life for each believer,
grace to sustain us,
life at the end no more and
no less,
the same whenever grace
finds them,
loved like all the rest.
We are to be working, our
oil ready,
our lamps burning, when the
day ends;
but we must be joyful,
for each new believer, even
those
who come at the eleventh
hour.
