Israel prevails through affliction! Genesis 32:28 says, “And He said, ‘Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled
with God and with men, and have prevailed.’”
By recalling the affliction and subsequent victory that Israel repeatedly experienced, they would stand assured that no matter what,

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all” (Ps. 34:19).
