The reflection 

"In the future, whenever you check on my wages, my honesty will testify for me: any animal that is not speckled or spotted among the goats, or dark among the lambs, got into my possession by theft!" Laban said, "Very well. Let it be as you say." That same day Laban removed the streaked and spotted he-goats and all the speckled and spotted she-goats, all those with some white on them, as well as every dark lamb, and he put them in the care of his sons." Genesis‬ ‭30:33-35‬

Laban was a very crafty individual, his schemes came back against him.  By being deceitful with Jacob, Jacob was blessed by many children through Rachel and Leah.  Laban didn't honor his word.  And now in his dealings with Jacob, he once again makes a commitment he has no intention of fulfilling.  Jacob on the other hand is being completely true to his word.  He is doing exactly what he says he will do.  God see all in our lives, our trickery does not go unnoticed and as we read in scripture, those that were not honest came out without the intended result.  We are dealt bad deals from time to time, as long as we are true to our word and deal with others honestly, our Father in Heaven can do nothing but bless.  Just like He did with Jacob and how the devil interfered with God's blessings in Laban's life.  

What is God saying to me: I see all, nothing goes unnoticed.  "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse." ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭12:3‬A. Walk in My Light

Dear Heavenly Father, we are blessed by You when we walk in Your favor and do Your will, even when we are wronged, You will not let harm befall us.  In our dealings Lord, may I always be honest, my I always deal with others straight forward.  I know You see all and I will be a blessing in Your Kingdom through Your grace.  Prayers for a friend that is struggling with a decision may he realize God see's all, nothing goes unnoticed.  Prayers for another who is caught in the schemes of the devil, not seeing the damage.  Bring hope to the hopeless and joy to the joyless, I ask this in Your most holy name, Jesus.  Amen. 

Mary, Mother of Love, pray for us.
