Extract of passage
Introduction to JOB
… It is also important to note what job does not do, lest we expect something from him that he does not intend.  Job does not curse God as his wife suggests he should do, getting rid of the problem by getting rid of God.  But neither does Job explain suffering.  He does not instruct us in how to live so that we can avoid suffering.  Suffering is a mystery, and Job comes to respect the mystery.
In the course of facing, questioning, and respecting suffering, Job finds himself in an even larger mystery – the mystery of God.  Perhaps the greatest mystery in suffering is how it can bring a person into the presence of God in a state of worship, full of wonder, love, and praise.  Suffering does not inevitably do that, but it does it far more often than we would expect.  It certainly did that for Job. Even in his answer to his wife he speaks the language of an uncharted irony, a dark and difficult kind of truth: “We take the good days from God – why not also the bad days?”
