All throughout the Bible we read of people of God enduring struggles. So it should not surprise us when we see Jacob treated unfairly. It was unfair that he had to work fourteen years for the wife he had agreed to work seven years for. It was unfair that Laban changed his wages a number of times after he agrees to give him the stripped, spotted and black lambs. Sometimes evil people prosper.
Some people try to do the right thing and are taken advantage of.
Some are con artists yet hear the applause of the crowd. But we must never forget our concept of fair and God's are different. God sees the big picture . . . God IS always good. Daniel has been the victim of the bullies in the neighborhood.
