(Jesus continued) “For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace; and to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’” They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’ And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’ And when those hired about the eleventh hour came each of them received a denarius. Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius. Matthew 20:1 – 10

Lord I will certainly be the first to admit that I do not do well with this portion of the scripture. The first shall be last and the last shall be first. All I can do is thank and praise You that no matter where I am in line I know that You are with me. You paid the price for me to enter in and that is my focus and my joy. I have to thank and praise You that I can be called Your child. Oh how I love You Lord. Thank You for allowing me to enter in.

Thank You Lord.
