As I read that verse I thought about my own life, and how often I am carrying out plans that I never even consulted the Lord about, nor received from the Lord. He calls those who act this way obstinate children, I guess because they want it their way, and are unwilling to listen to God. Some might call this the school of hard knocks, and defeat. Further in the verse, its clear that the people are running to Egypt for safety, rather than turning to God who demonstrated over and over His ability to save them. How often do we look to something or someone, other than God, for help?
Lord help me to always listen to You, to wait for You to divulge Your plans, to not set my mind and heart on my way! Help me to wait on You!
