Be careful with how we view our circumstances.

In Job 29:1-5, Job looks at his circumstances and concludes, wrongly, that God is no longer with him. Our present conditions - good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant, easy or hard - are a very poor barometer of God's love and concern for us.
God had allowed Satan to test Job because God knew that this process was going to result in Job's relationship with God being take to a whole new level. The pain Job was experiencing was for his own good, but he just couldn't see that yet.
We are prone to making the same mistake Job made and making wrong assumptions about how God feels about us based on our circumstances. God is often using the trials in our lives to draw us closer to Him and to develop our character, but we usually don't see that in the midst of our trials.
