We know the story when God rejected Cain's vegies and accepted Able's paleo offerings...
To me, this story tells me that for God the type of payment matters. And God is real: If we worked hard but only that one type of hard work, meaning, we are not presenting the reality with other types of offerings, our position is not diversified.
So, the fact that this story is told as one of the earliest ancestral stories in the bible means that the concept is meant to be prioritized as one of the main fundamentals of our life investment plans.
Sometimes our ego wants to complain, how we have worked so hard, sacrificed so much. But have you brought the right type of sacrifice with respect to all the different situations at various points in time?
Wisdom is very important, but there is always a time when our wisdom is not "there" yet, and the wise thing to do always (in the face of that) is to diversify our offerings to God.
In the end, what matters is not the amount nor the intensity of work you put, it is the problem you solve. Using technology we could solve problems now, using how little amount of money we have, from the comfort of our bed through our smartphones.
The scarcity of the world is not of time nor energy nor money but of mutual solutions. True capitalism is when we as individuals acknowledge that there is capital in every little good thing that exists. Charity is hypocritical, giving thanks is more appropriate. (Would you let your sources of solutions rot in poverty?)
