Job In Doubt

In this part of the Bible I can see how the faith of Job onto god is being questioned. He tells us “Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him :”(Job 23, 8) This shows how he is having a dispute within himself of the reality of God existing or not. He “cannot see him” and also “cannot perceive him” These two example Job gives us make us believe that he is actually questioning the existence of God. But his faith is so great that this fact is not possible. Its like if from one day to another Ricardo Kaka decided that he didn’t like soccer. Job can’t contradict the fact of Gods existence. It is very hard. Job understands why God acts how he acts, he shows us this, “Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.”(Job 23, 6) But, is Job saying this for his benefit, or for our benefit?
