Job 1-5: Verse of the Day

"Then Satan answered the Lord, 'Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land." (Job 1:9-10).

This is Satan, our accuser before the Lord. He attributes weakness to God's blessings. He desires nothing more than to allow us to suffer, hopefully to our destruction. God will allow it for the positive benefit of our testing. Praise be to God who protects us and has reserved a place for Satan, our temptor.
