Yes, this is the Straight path. Those He favors He educates and trains with suffering. "And if you were of the world the world would love its own. But I have chosen you out of the world . . . ."

Job was afflicted even though God Himself said he had done nothing wrong. In John 9:1-4 it says, "As [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, 'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?' Jesus answered, 'It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.'" I once wrote up an extensive list of reasons the Bible gives for suffering: http://barbarah.wordpress.com/2007/07/16/scriptural-reasons-for-suffering/ Barbara H.
