The Lord loves the people of Israel because they are his chosen people, but he is not happy with the way that they have been conducting themselves. They have been practicing idolatry. Through it all, he has tried to heal them, but they are still going down the wrong path so he is going to remove them and destroy them.
The Lord will not forsake his people and he will protect them and destroy those that are wicked.

The part that stands out to me in a big way is verse 2, "But the more they were called, the more they went away from me". I think this is an accurate statement of how we, as a people, are with God. I don't have an explanation why, but this is so accurate when you think about all we have read so far and how people are in the world today.
The verses that stand out to me today are these: "When I said, 'My foot is slipping', your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy". These really spoke to me this morning. I do feel this especially when I have become anxious, as I have been trying very hard to turn to God in these times, when I think my mind is running from me.
