I fail to see the difference between satan asking permission and God removing the hedge of protection around Job.
Is it not true that if the God's hedge of protection remained that satan would have been unable to assail Job?

I would think it would be scarier to think Satan doesn't have to ask permission and that you are at his whim than to face up to why God allows it...for our good and our growth!
