Scripture Post #1,605: *GOD SEES YOUR MISTREATMENT*

Genesis 31:12: 

"And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee."

Jacob/Israel had a father-in-law named, Laban. Laban deceived Jacob into working 7 years to marry a wife he didn't want. And he had Jacob work an additional 7 years for the wife he actually did want. This is what Jacob had to say about it to his wives: "…Your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times…" ~Gen. 31:7. But GOD blessed Jacob with cattle of the ringstraked, speckled and spotted type; which is what Gen. 31:12 references. Gen. 31:12 is about the dream that Jacob had. In this dream, an Angel spoke to Jacob, basically saying: "*GOD SEES YOUR MISTREATMENT*. He saw how your father-in-law wronged you and has blessed you because of it."

Please don't complain to others about how unfair a particular situation is. Complaining is good for nothing. Know that if you are truly being taken advantage of, GOD sees. And He takes great care of His people. 

Matthew 6:30-31: "Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? [Matt. 6:31:] Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?"
