Job 2:1-6

Summary: Having taken Job's early possessions (therefore his social standing and legacy), Satan returns to God's presence only to hear God tell again of Job's perseverance. Satan (at least outwardly) shakes this off, giving another oath that Job would surely curse God if he suffered bodily harm. God offers Job to Satan, but on the condition that Satan now protects Job's life from ending. 

Response: Something something "move the goalposts." Both entities seem to keep their cool, but I love how God plays shrewd back, twisting Satan's words to fit His purposes. God,I know You have good planned for me even if it doesn't look it at the moment. Help me to trust You.
