Satan's Proposal

“Where you have been?” the King asked of him, who lived and breathed the breath of sin.
“From walking the earth, and roaming about, looking to destroy those who live with doubt”.
“Have you considered my servant, who’s name is Job?
He’s upright and blameless, and this man has showed, he’s a God fearing man and his love for me is true”.
“But of course he is”, Satan began to construe, “you have made a hedge about his house and his land, you have blessed every deed and the work of his hand.  But touch all that he has, and lift from him your grace, and he will surely curse thee to your face”.
“Let your hand touch his flesh, touch even his bones and all will hear the pain and torment in his groans, Job will sin and he will be to you a disgrace, for he will surely curse thee to your face”.
“Do all that you would, but you must spare his life, all manner of emotional and physical strife. 
Job will prove to all, to be faithful and strong, and my servant will show to me he does belong”.
So Satan began to put Job to the test, taking all that was given to him while he was blessed. 
His donkey, his oxen, his camel and his sheep, not even his children was he allowed to keep. 
His own wife began to believe in Satan’s lies and told him to give up, just curse God and die!
But Job did not sin with his lips or his mind, not a more faithful man on this earth could one find.
So God restored double of all that Job possessed, and once again this faithful man of God was blessed.
