Hello my friends! I pray that you are all doing well today. I suppose that we have all heard the saying, " God will never put anything on our shoulders that we cannot handle." I have heard that alot, and after hearing it a dozen times maybe it doesn't seem very comforting anymore. But, friends, I am saying it to you again!
Let us look in the book of Job:
The Lord said to Satan, " Very well then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger" Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord. Job 1:12
Do you see, dear ones? Satan CANNOT do anything that the Lord has not given him permission to do. Let's look in Luke:
Look at what Jesus said to Simon Peter:
" Simon, Simon, Satan has ASKED to sift you as wheat. But, I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail" Luke 22:31
Oh, my! Do you see that? Satan had to ask permission from God before he could do anything! What do you think that says about us and our situations?
