Gen. 31:7-9 God avenges his people

We see hear that Jacob discerns the face against him.  His treatment is bad from Laban.  He shows a good atitude in making a deal with Laban in his wages from now on.   Notice that in v.9  God is the one who has taken away much cattle to give to Jacob.  The wages there may even exceed the rip off from Laban.  It is best when we treat enemies right and allow God to deal with them in his righteous way. All of our enemies think not that they will reap what they sow. It is so much better to forgive knowing that perhaps their lives may be in jeopardy.  I personaly feel good when there is a reconciling and people make it right when they do me wrong.  We shouldn't be happy about others loses, even to us.  Jacob deserved his fair wage though. God didn't hurt Laban just helped him to do what he should have done.  The wisdom of God fixes things in his marvelous way.
