You should get _____ because you deserve it! Fill in that blank with whatever - promotion, scholarship, etc. We're used to getting what you deserve. And every cultural - which means everyone of us - has a measuring stick to determine who should be first and who shouldn't be. 

But God doesn't calculate worthiness. He deals with us differently. 

That's the point of the parable of the laborers in the vineyard found in Matthew 20:1-16.
