Gods Permission On Things Only

Gods Permission On Things Only 

Job 1:12 NKJV

[12] And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.” So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.

    To understand this verse, we must understand the relationship between God, the Father and the devil. The relationship between God and the devil is one where God maintains ultimate authority. It's not a relationship of equals. God's sovereignty is absolute, and the devil cannot act without divine allowance. The reasons for the permission are often explained as part of a larger divine plan, which may include testing human faith, demonstrating God's power, or fulfilling a higher purpose that is not always immediately clear to humans.

    When God granted permission for Satan to test Job, God was so good to keep the enemy within bounds. Read that verse again. " Behold, all that he has is in your power..". In the execution, the enemy went for Job's health. The enemy doesn't understand what it means to play fair. The enemy worked on the wife for Job to curse God and die. The enemy killed Job's children and turned friends against him, but it had boundaries. I may not understand your testimony, but the enemy has boundaries. God is so loving that He has not allowed the enemy to consume you. I can tell you on good records, you're coming out of it. The permission was on things. Your life is too precious in the sight of God. Here is a Bible verse that reminds everyone how precious you are to God, so much that God will do it again:

 Isaiah 43:4,"Because you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you and nations in place of your life". Hallelujah! In Jesus Name. Good morning.
