A thing we need to know, a spiritual principle that we need to keep in mind, is that God’s Spirit may not always strive with us to keep us on His path of righteousness. God will give you over to what you want. “But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels.” How much blessing is forfeited when people have it their way. In this psalm, God tells His people Israel that if they listened to Him and worshipped Him alone, He would bless them. But they refused to listen, so He gave them over to their own foolishness, idolatry and misery. You don’t want to have it your way. Father knows best, God the Father that is!
