Job 10-38: Is There A Superior Being Than God?

From the story of Job I could receive various teachings. First I saw that perseverance has to be a value that you have to have very strong in your life because if not things might be harder to bear. In the case of Job he had a lot of perseverance at the beginning, but then started to give up on his hope. He starts to also give up on God and to talk good about the life of the wicked. I think that three things will be very hard to lose in your whole life that is family support, hope, and belief in your superior being. Your family will almost always be there for you except if you lose them or if you fight with them. God and hope will never be lost because God is always there with you and hope is something you control so you can always have it. Job’s friends really try to bring him up and that brought to my mind what real good friends are. Real friends are not friends that are just with you for your friends, your house or your money, they are there for you to help you, to be with you in the good and bad times, and those are real friends that are worth your friendship. But then Job defies God by thinking that he is superior. “Thinkest thou this this to be right, that thou sadist, my righteousness is more than God’s,”Job 35, 2 so we can see that Job is thinking himself superior than God. Job was one of God’s favorites but then thinks he is greater than God? This sounds like the story of Lucifer when he though he was better than God. Could there be a superior being or species than God?
