Why the book of Job Applies to All men

What does the book of Job say about our Creator?
Here we have a rich man who is doing well who is suddenly stricken from his experiences, laid into a horrible and undesirable situation for a long period of time and then eventually, because he maintains his faith, he is rewarded twice fold and higher for who he was and what he had acheived in life.

What does this say?
I say this. 
All men have the situation of Job.
What we have when we are rich in the beginning is our hopes.
Our hopes for the future and the world are in every childs heart.
Then life takes us for a series of turns and other and thus we see our hopes are not the future that we had expected.
In reality, there is a counterbalance to this dismal feeling of future that we all seem to find our concerns to revolve around at some time in our lifetimes.  This is the deficit given to Job.
The fact is that our future is ultimately in G-ds hands and of course, if you were born, you were born to serve a purpose for G-d in every way.
So be careful what you say about the Creator and his plan and all that as you go through your life.  Ultimately, in faith, you will prosper.
