In the land of Uz, Satan stood before God, begging for permission to strike Job. The devil had zero power of his own; he had to ask for clear limits from the Creator because hell can only move as far as God allows. Yet, even after losing everything and sitting in the dirt, Job chose to honor his Maker instead of cursing Him. The enemy brought terrible pain but hit a hard wall. God was never worried about the attack; He let the trial prove a faith that no storm could break.
“Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.” Job 1:6,12
