Is there anything that is not under God's control? What about satan, the enemy of our souls? Yes, even satan is under God’s power. This is something that Job’s friends didn’t seem to understand. They thought that Job had somehow committed a sin that empowered satan to do the things that happened in Job’s life. And while that is partially true, it’s not the WHOLE truth. The WHOLE truth is that Job didn’t do anything to deserve what happened to him, but the enemy was definitely the source of all his pain and heartache.
