God's Wall of Protection

Scripture:

Job 1:9-10 "Satan replied to the Lord, 'Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God.  You have always put a wall of protection around him, and his home, and his property.  You have made him prosper in everything he does.  Look how rich he is!'"

Observation:

Satan has come to God and God asked Satan about Job.  God was showing Satan what a good man Job was when Satan made the above statement.  Satan knew that it was God who had put a wall of protection around Job.  He knew it was God who gave him his property and made him prosper in everything he did.  God had made Job rich and Satan knew it.  God's love and grace for His people makes Satan mad, but God loves to bless His people anyway.

Application:

Every good and perfect gift comes from above.  When we are blessed in any way with houses, lands, cars, children, business, etc. we should realize where our blessing comes from.  In this story there is no argument from God when Satan tells Him that He has been incredibly good to Job and protected him, his family and their possessions.  God is good to His people!!!!  He doesn't apologize to Satan for being good to Job either.  He does allow the Job's commitment to Him to be tested, but then blesses him double in the end of his life just because He is God and He can do whatever he wants.  When God decides to bless you, nothing can hold Him back!!!

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty,  You are awesome indeed.  You bless You people and there is nothing Satan can do about it.  Thank You for blessing my life so many times.  You are amazing and I love you with all my heart.  Release You favor and blessing over my life, my family, my church etc.

Yours,
Jeff
