Oops of the Day

Satan has powers to do whatever he wants to people.  

Job 1:9-12  –  Job 2:10a  –  Job 42:5  –  Genesis 15:1-20  –   Genesis 21:5  –  Genesis 22  –  Galatians 3:6-9  –  Jeremiah 27:6 – Jeremiah 43:10 – Jeremiah 50:1 – 51:14

Fact of the Day

No! God gives him permission and uses him to test people (spiritual exercises) and develop spiritual muscles in his people.  Job was strong.  He ended up being stronger.  Same with Abraham who lived close to the same time as Job.

God also gives him permission to direct the punishment of evil countries; then punishes the punisher.  He did that with Babylon who conquered Jerusalem, then was conquered by Persia.
