Job was sorely tested. He survived the encounter, just as he survived the belly of the whale. “Protection” does not mean some sort of hermetically sealed bubble of perfect serenity and happiness, that flew out the window with the Fall.

God provides, and most tests are opportunities for us to understand that.

He survived the encounter, but not all survive. Job’s family, for instance, got smoked. Our salvation is protected. Our lives are not.
