faith
Many people think that believing in God protects them form trouble so when calamity comes they question Gods goodness and justice.But the message of Job is that you should not give up on God because He allows you to have bad experiences. Faith in God does not guarentee personal prosperity and lack of faith does not guarentee troubles in this life If this were so people would believe in God just to get rich. God is capable of rescueing us from suffering but he may also alow suffering to come for reasons we cannot understand. It is satens strategy to get us to doubt God at exactly this moment. here job shows a perspective broade than seeking his own personal comfort. if we always new why we were suffering our faith would have no room to grow. you should read on as job was tested many times in the book of Job... Great understanding of God and faithsaten who also hates God hates Gods people. Gods people can overcome his attacks through Gods power..

People look for answers about life, Belief in god give us answers, reasons, when man cant find those answers in everyday life. Otherwise mankind would be very lost indeed. And I believe there would be more turmoil in the world if we didnt have belief in god and what god stands for.
