Job was a very godly man,we read,he was blameless and upright,that does not mean to say he was sinless, he acknowledged this in 9 v20 /40 v4/42 v6. We must never loose sight of the whole of humanities nature,it is a fallen nature,and the best of men and women are sinners.Job was a good father CP. ch1,he helped others 29 v 12ff/ 31v 32.Now here was this good man and in a blink of an eye his whole whole fell apart,he lost one thing after another,all his flocks were taken,next his ten children were taken yes all of them,next his health was taken.He didn't understand,what would the so called prosperity gospel say to all Jobs suffering.We need to accept the fact that good people will suffer we may find it hard to accept this.Job's wife did ,and even Job found it hard to accept.As a general rule God will preserve us from much evil,and He promises us that in His word, All things come under the umbrella of God's will all things,so it was for Job ,so it is for us,and so it was for Christ. Job didn't understand his suffering ,but in the end he bowed to Gods will,as we must do.
'Renew my will from day today,
Blend it with Thine and take away
All that now makes it hard to say
Thy will be done.'
