The Divine sovereignty of God allows Satan liberty and human beings liberty, and the margins of that liberty are known only to God. To remember that the devil is not the power behind God, but a power allowed by God, makes a great difference in our attitude to the happenings of life. Jeremiah points out that all the calamities need never have been participated in by the house of Judah if they had only obeyed God.
