Right now I am feeling pretty elated, having finished and hold my presentation, and am on an extreme hight spiritually. I am thanking God in my spirit. But how often do I go through tough times and then forget God or don't thank Him in Worship? How contrary is this behavior to truth! Read Job 1:20-22:
Then Job arose, tore his robe and sheared his head. He fell to the earth and worshiped. And he said, Naked I came forth from the belly of my mother, and naked I shall return there. Yahweh, He gives and Yahweh, He takes away. Blessed be the Name of Yahweh. In all this, Job neither sinned nor ascribed anything improper to Elohim.
Consider this! Job had just experienced the worst attack of Satan himself on all his dear possessions. All! All destroyed or dead. But instead of accusing Yahweh initially, he falls down to worship Him! How worthy of imitation.
Beautiful, it is right on the spot if we say that all Evil and Good comes from our God! He is the ultimate Cause for things! He alone is the King who rules over all, and pursuing a purpose of love with all!
Now to the King of the eons, the incorruptible, invisible, only and wise God, be honor and glory for the eons of the eons! Amen! (1.Tim 1:17)

Take note that satan could NOT do anything unless God gave him leave to do it!
So where is all this power that satan is to have?

The thing to note here is that what Job says and how this is evaluated:
Job: Yahweh, He gives and Yahweh, He takes away.
Evaluation: In saying this, Job neither sinned nor ascribed anything improper to Elohim.
In other words, yes, Satan was the attacker, but, ultimately, according to the evaluation, the last sentence of my quote above, which is inspired truth, Yahweh takes. To put it still into other words: if we say that God uses the destroyer in order to bless more excessively, we do not sin (or miss the mark)*, but are right on the spot!

* sin, at least in Greek, means missing the mark, or not fullfilling the ideal.
