Well, I totally missed the mark on the devotion I posted earlier. The whole point of the book of Job is that he didn’t do anything wrong to deserve what was happening to him.

Job 39-42
 Concerning the wild goats, the wild donkeys, the unicorn, and the peacock the ostrich the horse concerning the hawk and the eagles. God proceeds to show Job what little reason he had to charge him with unkindness. Who is so compassionate and inferior creature he had taken such to the care of them, what a boost of himself.
 Humbling and confronting questions, God had put the job, he demands an answer of them, and Job submits a humble silence. But this time God proceeds to reason with him, or his convictions concerning the infinite distance in this portion between God and himself. Showing the ways
