Acting for God or Satan

I was reading the book of Job this morning and a couple things occurred to me.

In the first chapter Satan stands in front of God and requests; "But now stretch out your hand and strike everything [Job] has, and he will surely curse you to your face."

And read what God does: "The Lord said to Satan, 'Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.'"

See, Satan begged God to strike Job, but God - although He gave permission for Satan to - refused to strike Job Himself.

"Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord (and did His best to hurt Job and his family)." God is love, Satan is evil. God would not harm Job, Satan did whatever He could to hurt and harm Job.

But, Satan could not do it alone. Later we can read of groups that acted by the desire of Satan to bring harm to Job; the Sabeans and the Chaldeans.

As I read this account it brought to mind a question that I pass on to you; "Are you acting for God - as Job was - or for Satan?". Are you acting in accordance with love or evil, in line with goodness or harm?
