Job had an adversary, who knew all about him, he was walking about, seeking whom he might devour and ruin, he had already laid his eyes upon Job, but he couldn't get to him. It's notable that Satan didn't deny God's commendation of Job in his character and testimony; "Indeed you have blessed Job" saith Satan! But that's why he worships and serves you because you bless him! But beside this, accusation, there was no apparent besetting sin that Satan could accuse Job of before God! But let me at him, saith Satan, let me take all Your blessings from him, and I will show you that Job doesn't just fear you simply because you're God! |
