originally written 8 Nov 15 posted 13 Nov 15 ​ God didn’t cause…but God allowed the pain that was inflicted on Job. That pain had a purpose…and a limit. Job lost nearly everything: His children, his wealth, many of his friends. His wife told him to curse God and die. He was a righteous man that God knew had done nothing wrong. There was none more blameless and upright on the earth. God allowed Satan to inflict pain on him that was intense and unwarranted but He would not allow Job to be killed.
