In “Reflections on Suffering from the Book of Job” by Larry J. Waters, we see that Job suffers from all points of view. As we read the book of Job, we examine how Job's suffering is viewed by all the characters involved and their effect on Job's life. In the book of Job Satan and God are what started all of this. Then later his wife, his three friends and Elihu will have a say in how they feel about Jobs' suffering. Finally, we hear from God and his explanation of why he allowed all of this to happen. At the beginning of the book of Job Satan the accuser begins by challenging God. The reader can see them since God would only speak to the heavenly court to begin with. Satan appears twice to challenge God to the meeting without being invited. Then God simply lets him know to consider Job. One of the reasons God ultimately lets Satan do all this is that Satan says in Job 1:9, “Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God.” However, the main reason God allows this to happen is to show Satan that no matter how hard he tries, Job will not deny Him. In the book of Job, Larry points out that we cannot forget that if God had not allowed Satan to test Job, none of these things would have ever happened. However, this does not mean that God did not care about Job. God knew how much Job loves him and allowed Satan to test him, so that Job would eventually draw closer to him. After Job's suffering begins, we meet his wife. Jobs' wife may not have that big of a role, but her part has a lot to say in a nutshell. The only time the reader hears Job's wife everything she says in Job 2:9 “Are you still trying to keep your integrity? Curse God and die." From his perspective, he felt that Job had not done anything wrong to deserve this... middle of paper... and that he could not discredit God's justice. People have always tried to explain how God's justice works. God, but in the end they can't do it because it's beyond their capabilities. Even though Job's friend assumed that all of his suffering was due to sin, they fail to answer Job's ultimate question: "why are all these things happening?" to me and what I did to deserve this. No matter how much Satan tried, he ultimately failed to prove his point. No one but God had the answers Job wanted to hear. Furthermore, God had to let Job know that nothing, not even sin, can change the way He administers His justice. In summary what the book of Job makes us understand in the end is that we can ultimately question God based on what is happening to us. Whatever happens in the end it is by the grace and love of God that Job is who he is and not even his wife, nor Satan, nor his friends can change him..
