“We cannot simply accept disaster as God’s appointment, as part of the design for this world. His perfect order is: no sin, no sickness, no satanic tests. But this world is not as God originally made it, pronouncing it ‘good’. At point after point in God’s world, the structured harmony of God’s good creation have become discordant and harsh. This world is an ambiguous ‘fallen’ world, now marked not only by the beauties of creation, but also by disorder, pain, struggle and death.”
Atkinson, David The Message of Job (The Bible Speaks Today) (Downers Grove, IL: Intervarsity Press, 1991), p. 25
