Satan hated this detestable godly man but since Satan is no match against God’s power, he tries to destroy what God loves.
Satan challenged God saying that Job only feared Him because Job had been blessed by Him, but if he lost everything, “He will surely curse you to Your face!” (Job 1:11) God allowed Satan to take all of Job’s prosperity, his sons and daughters, his livestock and his servants, but God drew a boundary around Job that Satan could not kill him.

Enough is Enough!
We parked our van and boarded the ark walking up a long, gradual ramp much like the animals boarded two by two in Noah Ark. We were in the ark about ten minutes when we heard a loud, deep boom of a heavy door closing. I imagined it sounded like what Noah and his household must have heard when God Himself closed the door after all were boarded.
The Gate
The gatekeeper said, “You have come to my gate, but I do not have a key to open it. Have you not heard that going to church, even if you attended regularly, is not enough?”
And with those words ringing in his ears, the old man became sorrowful as he retreated from what he thought would be the right gate to heaven.
