....God delivers
It is also clear in all of jobs troubles that it is human nature to blame people for their own troubles, but jobs story makes it clear that blame cannot always be attached to those whom trouble strikes.people are often caught up in their own traps. Scripture must be used to explain and comment on itself. We must be familiar with the "entire" scope of Gods words to properly understand the difficult portions of it.

Mainly because the people who wrote the scriptures thought totally differently than we do in modern history.
Back to Job, I think this is an example of true faith to God. God knew the devil was after Job and wanted to use him to turn him against God as he hates God. But Jobs faith was strong and he didn't blame God for all the wrong things that were done to him as he loves God. God knew the motives of the devil from the beginning and the devil failed . i think that in our times of troubles as bad as things are or we think they are it is our faith in God that will get us through and God Himself. I think it is how strong our faith is in God that matters a lot and also Job is the stepping stones to remember God is in control of everything even the devil. that the devils attacks will never ovecome Gods goodness... and that we should have faith in God during our bad times as well as good and remember that God will deliver us from everything. God knows how much we can take and not take so we need to remember that God loves us and will deliver. Job never gave up on God. God alone knew the purpose behind Jobs sufferings but job never did. God knew what the devil was trying to do. this is just how i understand it as well. Its all a lesson to us in regards to real faith in God.
