God Is Good
"Though He slay me, I will bless His Name."
Job was a solid man.
Do you realize that Satan was given authority to take EVERYTHING from him, save his life? The devil took his kids, his livestock, his farm, his buildings. Some critics might add, "He should've taken his wife, too. That complaining witch!"
Yes, she was the one who said, "Curse God and die!" But here's my theory on why Satan didn't kill her: He couldn't. God gave that fallen angel authority to take everything but Job's life. And, since Job and his wife were one, as in God's design for marriage that He apparently takes very seriously, the devil couldn't touch her.
Isn't that cool?
