Jacob's Labors for Laban

Laban should have been looking out for Jacob, and showering him with benefits for the good work and hard labor that he did for him. And in this passage he does ask what he can do to keep Jacob working for him, but Jacob sees through his words and he realizes that he will have to make provision for himself, for his family and for his future; without confiding in Laban, because he knew that Laban would try to take advantage of him even in that. What should a person do when their employer is not paying them enough? How can they provide for their household and their future? These are the questions that I would like to try and answer from our text this morning. A person can provide for their household and their future if they will remember the following principles.
