This is one of the eternal conflicts in the Bible. If God loves us why is Satan going "to and fro upon the earth." Job encountered him to devastating effect. So have we all. Take courage, he's a coward and as James 4:7 advises: "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
And the Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.”
Job 2:2 (ESV)
James 4:7
Thank you for posting thought provoking comments on Scripture. Think of you whenever I see Brit on TV. Had the pleasure of hearing him in person with Chuck Colson years ago. Blessings to you both.
