This wicked question was asked by satan because he is continuously stirring the pot. He is continuously trying to torment and taunt the saints of God. Job never once railed against God, no matter how bad things got for him. Oh yes, he bemoaned his situation and even regretted that he was born but he never cursed God as his wife suggested he do.
There maybe more justice for that question today though. How many people only serve God when the going is good? When all is going well in their lives? But as soon as things start heating up they run...claiming God has abandoned them...forsaken them... God doesn't care about them and on and on the railings go. Don't you know dear saint that for gold to be pure it must go through the fire? God will test your character, He will test your faith and Peter explains that when Jesus returns He will be looking for saints who have gone through the trials of their faith and have come out pure, and we are more precious than gold.
