No one hired us

[25th Sunday of Ordinary Time Year A, Sept 21, 2014, Isa 55:6-9/Ps 145:2-3/8-9/17-18/Phil 1:20c-24 27a/Matt 20:1-16a]

There is a well known verse  from the Old Testament that runs, “God ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts.” It comes from the prophet Isaiah and happens to be the first reading today (Isaiah 55:6-9). The verses continue with the Lord telling the prophet that as high as the heavens are above the earth so high are my ways above your ways and my thoughts above your thoughts.
