In my last post I shared about Job’s character, which you can read here. Job was a man who was “blameless, feared God, and shunned evil.” He walked in God’s ways.
Satan knew that and yet, he returns to God with an accusation:
“Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.” (Job 1:10, NASB)
Basically Satan is accusing God of putting a hedge of protection around Job. This is an interesting accusation to say the least.
We know God does protect, although this is not to say, we will never experience difficult or painful situations. When God permits these things, it always serves a purpose in our lives.
In Job’s life, God removes His protection to a point, and Job does suffer, what is in my opinion, unbearable pain and loss.
But here is the thing: God is with him and Job remains faithful to God because he knows the goodness and mercy of God.
We need to remember that God does protect His people. Let’s look at a few of the promises which we have been given.
I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE as we look at the protection of God over His people.
