Job was fine until so many bad things happened that he began to focus only on what was happening instead of what he choices he was making.
Job's friends focused on what had happened from the beginning and encouraged Job to make choices that did not fit the situation.
God eventually encouraged Job to focus on his attitude and not on what was happening and then berated Job's friends for encouraging Job to focus on what was happening to him.
Job prayed for his friends, they repented and were forgiven.
Job began focusing on his attitude, stopped focusing on what was happening and had a good life.

I just finished reading and studying Job.
There is alot there to learn.
There is a nature of God that many of us are uncomfortable with, and would rather ignore. I think we ought to learn as much as we can about our Father. We serve Him.
Rather than view Him as some giant teddy bear that serves our desires at will, we ought to acknowledge, like Job, our insignificance without Christ; repent in our dust and ashes; and, fear God. Even Job, a man of God, said that calamity from God is a terror to me. Do we as Christians fear God like this?

The moral as I see it is, Job was so intimate with God that He Knew God. Knowing that there was only God's Will, He bore all his suffering like a king. He gave thanks in "ALL" things, which shows that he trusted that what was happening to him was , not only for a purpose, but thankful that God's Will "was" being done. How's that?

The story of Job breaks down to a story of faith. Job has all kinds of troubles bestowed upon him, but he still remains faithful to God. He finally demands an answer, but he never curses God.

not which you will hear yet right here we bypass: a million: "not trusting the government" is infrequently a "actuality". 2: If Bin weighted down HAD died in 2007, why did not Al Qaeda come forward with that actuality to refute the 2011 raid? instead, they shown that the Seal raid had certainly killed him. ("undugged"? Yeah, it extremely is a great thank you to garner appreciate and credibility.) i grew to become into skeptical besides, yet as quickly as Al Qaeda suggested that Bin weighted down have been killed in the U. S. SEAL raid, I knew it grew to become into real. think of approximately it. Why could Al Qaeda say this? If Bin weighted down grew to become into certainly alive, does not he have taken great excitement in freeing a tape wherein he exhibits how inept and incompetent is Obama, our militia and the finished US? yet he did not. If Bin weighted down had died years in the past, why did not Al Qaeda come forward with evidence, lower back, exhibiting how incompetent Obama and the militia are? finally, what conceivable benefit is there for Al Qaeda to lie? Bin weighted down grew to become into their founder, their chief, and their figurehead. It grew to become into Bin weighted down's speeches that confident much less knowledgeable Muslims in small villages to develop into suicide bombers. no person else in Al Qaeda has Bin weighted down's aura, or highway cred. in contrast to the the remainder of the better-united statesin Al Qaeda, Bin weighted down had certainly been in wrestle.. So if Al Qaeda says Bin weighted down is lifeless because of the fact the U. S. SEAL team shot him in the pinnacle, wager what i bypass to have confidence?

Sure: it shows that God likes to bet on people's suffering. It also shows that he's willing to kill over 100 people for a wager. Cuz, you know, he loves you, and stuff.

Yeah, God wanted to prove a point to Satan (even though God isn't supposed to be the type who has to prove anything) and so he made poor innocent Job suffer. The end.
