On July 31, 2013 we read 2 Chronicles 16:9 (“Does He see you?”)
“The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.”
In today’s scripture reading we see that God isn’t the only one keeping His eye on us.  Satan is too.
“The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you been?”  Satan answered the Lord, “I have been roaming around the earth, going from place to place.”  Job 1:7 and again in 2:2.
I don’t want to attract the attention of Satan.  But I don’t think that Job did either.  Being Christians, Satan is definitely going to try his best to pick at our weaknesses and get us away from God.
He thought he could destroy so much in Job’s life that Job would curse God.  Satan even made a promise in verse 11.  He said, “I promise you that he (Job) would curse You (God) to Your face.”
Two things happened here:

• Job did not curse God.  He remained faithful to Him.
• Satan was NOT able to keep his promise.

Hmmm…as I recall, EVERY promise that God ever made, He kept.  He is The Promise Keeper.
So let’s see….Let’s just know that Satan is roaming around looking for trouble and we don’t want to be a part of it.  If he does bring trouble our way, we need stand strong in the Lord and grow in faith, love, and grace in Him.
Oh yea, and don’t believe Satan, the Father of Lies.  Believe in The Father of Truth, God Almighty.
