The text for this episode comes from the account of Elisha and Naaman and Gehazi from 2 Kings 5. After deceiving Naaman to get what he wanted, Gehazi was posed with a question from Elisha the prophet - 'Is this the time...?' It wasn't. It is never the time to deceive and lie to get what we want. It is never the time to say we will help the poor and needy when our plan is to get for ourselves.

The truth is - some believers can feel dissatisfied despite being in God's kingdom, yearning for unmet desires such as relationships or material possessions. True contentment is rooted in our relationship with Jesus, and is of great value.

Psalm 84, illustrates the joy of serving God, emphasizing that the psalmist's affection lies not in the temple itself but in God's enduring presence. As believers traverse through challenges, their reliance on God leads to transformation from sorrow to joy. Emphasizing the importance of seeking God's favor, the psalmist prefers a humble position in God's house to worldly luxury. Moreover, the notion of God as a source of protection and growth is reinforced, with a reminder that trust in Him brings blessings, underscoring the blessedness found in faithfulness to God.

This episode is drawn from Matthew 20:1-6. Jesus tells a parable about a land owner who agrees to pay a denarius to the very first workers presumably at 6am. To the others throughout the day, no agreement was made to a specific amount, but 'whatever is right'.

A full days labor was about 12 hours.

The land owner goes out at the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 11th hour and finds men in the marketplace in need of work. About the 3rd hour he goes out and finds some in the marketplace doing nothing. He gives them dignity. In his compassion, the land owner gives them work to do. Outside of his vineyard there is no work; men are standing around. All is idle. At the 11th hour, he found others standing around doing nothing. They say that no one has hired them. He bids them to go and work in his vineyard.

At the end, all workers are paid the same amount.
