2. Satan Destroys and Deceives

We tend to forget that there is another force in this world besides God. Job chapter 1 shows the intervention of Satan into the life of god's fervent servant Job. Satan is granted the chance to try and break Job's faith and trust in God, but with no avail. Living in an age where I have so many freedoms and opportunities I can sometimes become complacent in my thought about the realness of spiritual warfare. I reach points in my life when all is going well, I have a steady job, I'm receiving good grades, then something drastically changes... When bad things decide to randomly show up in our lives, we have the awful tendency to blame God, but He's not the one out there trying to make you stumble. Satan's biggest ploy is getting us to believe that he doesn't exist. This way, when the storms of life hit us when we don't expect it, we run to point the finger at our Lord, which is exactly what Satan desires. His goal is to get us to doubt, lose trust, lose our hope in God, and worst of all He strives to separate us from Jesus. Satan is real, and present in this world today, no matter how good you see your life as right now. Job lived a life of good health; he had a loving family, friends; he had a steady income, all until Satan came in and tried to get Him to blame God. But in the end, Job knew God would never leave him, forsake him, or give him more than he could handle.

Sometimes bad things happen because of the work of Satan, but not always.
