Day 213..."Is this not in the Book of Chronicles? Unfair Pay!

How many times have we read..."is this not in the Book of Chronicles?" Now we begin to read the history again. Today and tomorrow we will be reading a terse genealogy...Adam to Abraham...Abraham to Jacob...and the genealogy of David. Isaiah forecasts the fall of Moab. He is strong in number today but weak and few in number in three years. The "parable of workers in the vineyard is one labeled by cynics as ..."the parable of unfair pay." Is this not a "parable of umerited grace" as opposed to unfair pay.
(See day 40) Imagine how great it is to serve the Lord for an entire lifetime.
Who really gets cheated? One obvious message is there is still time for all of us to work in the Kingdom of God.
