“But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices. “If my people would only listen to me, if Israel would only follow my ways, how quickly I would subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes! Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever. But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.” Psalm 81:11-16
Most often words of lament include "if only" . . .
If only I would have . . . I could have . . . I would have . . .
You get the picture.
You have been there.
If only . . .
So here's the rub.
God says, "my people won't listen to Me."
So, God let us do our own thing.
Now we complain about how bad things are . . .
God laments . . . If Only . . .
Why not stop your own lament and start listening to God.
Just sayin . . .
