God’s Ownership of the Deceived and the Deceiver




Job 12:16


“With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.”


Even Satan operates within God’s decree. In the book of Job, Satan could act only as far as God permitted. Every affliction Job suffered occurred under divine authority. Job rightly attributed both prosperity and calamity to the Lord, and Scripture explicitly states that Job did not sin in doing so.


To affirm God’s sovereignty over evil is not to charge God with sin. Scripture never condemns God for doing what He declares Himself to do.
