As I'm sure you've heard somewhere, the global supply chain has a few kinks in it. There was a story just last night that said you need to buy a Christmas tree now if you're in the market, because they'll be completely sold out by December and you won't be able to find one if you wait.
From the perspective of people facing scarcity, this story makes sense. The workers who have worked all day feel like it isn't fair for people who have worked less to receive the same -- if these workers drain the purse, then what if there isn't enough? It's fear-driven.
But from God's perspective, there is abundance. There is plenty for all, so those who have worked an hour don't impact those who have worked all day. There is sufficient grace. Removing fear allows us to celebrate that we all receive the same grace, rather than live in fear. We can invite others in without worrying about how it impacts us, because we know we receive enough -- we trust that we will be fully satisfied by the God who assures us that God can meet every need, and that every desire will be perfectly filled by God.
