1: In verses 40-42, how did the Israelites rebel against and test God? Have we rebelled in a similar way against God? How did God differ in his treatment of the gentiles as opposed to the Israelites (v. 43-55)? What does this make you feel?
2: In verses 56-64, how did the Israelites respond to God’s mercy? How did God feel towards the response of the Israelites? How did God judge accordingly? Please reflect on how you have responded to God’s mercy in your own life.
3: In verse 65, does God sleep (Psalm 121:3-4)? What does “fallen asleep” symbolize about God? After God “awoke”, what did he do for the Israelites (66-72)? How does David foreshadow? How ought we respond to God?
