Those that are left of the people have asked Jeremiah to pray to the Lord and seek guidance on what they should do and they tell him that they will follow God's instruction. However, after he prays and finds out what they should do, he tells them and they call him a liar. They then do the opposite of what God says. There are so many times I can think of that people in our day have acted in this way. We have an adult child that acts like this. They ask advice or for direction and then do the exact opposite of what you tell them. I can understand how God could get frustrated with this. So I expect that these people will be destroyed as it has been told.
This psalm is describing the voice of God. It is using nature sounds and weather events to describe God's voice. It says the Lord gives strength to his people and blesses them with peace. If only we felt peace more often. But we tend to fight against God in many ways.

Thank you for seeing more in this than I did today. Your explanation really helped me. I am really struggling in trying to stay focused as I read these chapters lately.
Boy do we tend to fight against God. I kind of feel like I have been doing that a lot lately too and I don't want to but...
