I'm reading about Job now. It came to a point that I wonder why Job suffer so much, but God let it happen. And, there is no answer why Job has to suffer all. Anyone would like to share your opinion on this?

Job is a good man and a remarkable follower of God's teachings.I think God allowed Job to suffer because He{God} can't see a man in his days and in the future a man like him.So God put Job to sufferings and heartaches to be an example to future believers.You can not carry your burden,if God is not there helping you.It is said in the bible "Cast your burden upon me those who are heavily laden".

Thank you for your reply. Yes, Job setup an excellent example for all Christains, but on the other hand, I also notice that we are all human as well as Job that he complaint too. At then end, Job still turns back and trust in God.

The only reason God let Job suffer was to prove to Satan that Job loved God beyond this world. Job understood that the things of this world were only temporary. He came into this world with nothing, and he knew that he could take nothing out. God knew Job would prevail.
