This lesson reveals the unseen spiritual battle behind Job’s trials. In a rare glimpse into heaven, Satan appears before God, accusing Job of only serving Him because of the blessings he enjoys. Satan insists that if Job’s wealth and security were taken away, he would curse God. God permits Satan to test Job, but with limits—Satan may touch Job’s possessions but not his life. The narrative underscores several truths: Satan is powerful but not equal to God; he is on a leash, limited by God’s purposes; he cannot act without divine permission. Job becomes “Exhibit A” that it is possible to worship God faithfully even through devastating loss. The lesson challenges believers to recognize Satan’s accusations and to trust that God’s sovereign purposes—even in suffering—are designed to display His glory and strengthen His people.
