In God's providence, I'm trying to better understand the work of Satan and demons in our suffering. Revelation 2:10 talks about the devil putting Christians in prison. In Job's case, the devil afflicted him very much.
Normally, when I suffer, I look right to God as the source, and honestly, that can sometimes stir up confusion and doubts. But it seems that the Scriptures would point to the enemies of God as being a large portion of our suffering, wouldn't you agree? Like Ephesians 6. Though God still permits such suffering, would it be safe to say that in many cases, God is not the one directly causing it?
