Genesis 31:12 NKJV And He said, ‘Lift your eyes now and see, all the rams which leap on the flocks are streaked, speckled, and gray-spotted; for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.

For years, Jacob was continously being cheated by Laban. He changed Jacob’s wages which forced him to work for Laban longer than he expected. In verse 12, God lets Jacob know He’s seen all that Laban has done to him.

Some of us were cheated, abused, abandoned, misused, and overlooked. As He did with Jacob, God saw everything that was done to us; and God still gave Jacob wisdom to prosper. In spite of all that we’ve been through, God has the power to position us to prosper.

We may have had three terrible marriages or relationships, but God can make this next marriage prosper to the point where we forget about past relationships. God can use the abuse we’ve overcome as a testimony to inspire others to get out of abusive situations. Like Joyce Meyer, our story can be a platform for others to turn to Jesus and be healed and set free.

Whatever pain or misfortune we’re experiencing or have experienced, God sees it all and He’s already provided a way for us to prosper through it if we trust Him.
