Revision as of 16:25, 9 January 2025
Purpose: To wrestle with an experience of rejection, in spite of covenant faithfulness.
Content: God delivered Israel's favored ancestors. Israel, who has been faithful to the covenant, should also experience that favor. However, the reality is that God has been causing defeat and humiliation. Israel wrestles with this reality, and pleads for deliverance according to God's faithfulness.
Message: When confused and disappointed, God’s people can still appeal to his covenant and character.
