I was reading through the book of Job the last couple of mornings and a brief observation came to me. Here's a brief recap, staring with the dialog between God and Satan.
Satan: 1:11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.”
God: 1:12 “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”
Then Satan went out and wreaked havoc: He took his oxen and donkeys and servants (v14-15), He burned his sheep and servants (v16), He took his camels and servants (v17), He killed his children (v18-19) But Satan did not touch Job or his wife! (see 2:9, 19:7)
Why not?
Could it be that scripture says that husband and wife are “one flesh” (Genesis 2:24)?
