—Job 1:6-12
by: Dale E. Rood.
Satan, in his wandering aimlessly about, joins the crowd of angels coming before God. He has no purpose other than to steal, kill, and destroy. He is not concerned to build up but rather to tear down, and all he wants to do is destroy Job. Why? Simply because God delights in Job, and Satan’s chief desire is to undo whatever pleases God. But notice that even though God turns Job over to Satan to prove Job’s mettle, God still sets boundaries Satan cannot cross (v. 12). In the same way, know that God has established boundaries around you, even in the hard times.
