All God Ask's

I trip out on this stuff. God is reminding the people of all he has done for them and giving them the basics of what he is asking from them in verse 8. Then because of their refusal to listen to Him he brings the paddle out and gives them a spanking. 

It reminds me of when I was a kid and my parents would tell me "if you break the door, you will get a spanking" so what do I do? I break the door. The results were a red behind. I just wonder if God is using this today as a warning for us. You can tell it breaks Gods heart that we refuse his help and direction. Are you breaking Gods heart today? What area of your life have you held back from God even though you know he has asked you for submission in that area?
