The problem I have with that is that satan didn't go to Job but to God, where he received permission to tempt Job. God told him how much he could do and what the limitations were. As a born again child of God, I have NO reason to fear satan. We are already victors in Christ, and satan is already defeated. He just doesn't know it yet.
Yes, we can become weak in our faith and be tempted, but like with Job satan has to have God's permission to do anything to us. God uses satan to test our faith and to bring us back into fellowship with him.
