| Moving away or staying doesn't matter... |
Job was a probably a contemporary of Abraham. Abraham was in Ur and was called to leave. Job was in Uz and wasn't called to go anywhere. Both in their own ways faced challenges and difficulties.
There is sometimes an idea that location and place are the causes of problems. This wouldn't have happened if we didn't move or if we did. However, the truth is that in this world there is going to be trouble. Job was a righteous man and yet trouble found him. Abraham was a righteous man and trial and difficulties found him. Jesus told us in the New Testament that we would have troubles in this world and we will (John 16:33).
The first thing I want to share is that mobility or the lack of it doesn't keep away trials. They will come, what matters is how we face them. We need to face them and keep praising God. This is what Job did in this first chapter. Yes, he grieved and so will you, but he still gave God praise.
Side note: Satan is submissive/less than God. There aren't evil and good forces which are equal.
