Stripped of Glory...by God

"He hath stripped me of my glory," complains Job in Job 19.9 (KJV). While it was Satan who was the immediate agent of stripping all things away from Job, we understand as the readers that Job is indeed correct here. All of this was in God's control and allowed by God; therefore it is God who bears ultimate responsibility; a fact which the Scriptures do not try to hide at all. God accepts ultimate responsibility! He does not seem bothered by the implications of this in the least. It fascinates me that Man attempts to explain this away in order to cast God in a better light (from Man's framework), but God doesn't seem the least bit interested in these attempts.
