I have always found these stories fascinating. In the Hebrew Bible, the protagonist is a chosen friend of God, holy and righteous. When the LORD threatens destruction to human life, the protagonist protests and attempts to persuade God. The human protagonist in these stories temporarily appears to have a better grip on God’s essential character - righteous, generous, and merciful - than the LORD himself! On August 14, we meet a New Testament version in the person of the Canaanite woman.https://praytellblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/pt.jpg41190
