       They played the comparative game. They compared themselves with the other workers, just like we so often do in various areas of our own lives. And we can have the temptation, like they did, of pointing the finger at God when we feel we are not being treated fairly compared to so and so. We have a prideful attitude. We can say, “But my friend over here was married when she was 25 years old, and my other friend when she was 27. I’m 33 and still not married. That’s not fair, God.” Or, we can say, “My friend makes $55,000 a year. And my other friend makes $70,000. I only make $35,000. God, what’s going on? That’s not fair!” We can play the comparative game all day long. That’s what Facebook is about for a lot of people, right? But the reality is, is that God is doing no wrong in giving one person this, and another person that, and whatever he gives us. Everything belongs to him and he can do as he pleases. In reality, he didn’t even have to give us all that he has. But this likely strikes a prideful nerve in many of us.
