Psalm 81:12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
When God saw people were more inclined to invite evil back into their lives than to follow His Commandments, He allowed them to follow their own desires...
This does not mean God stopped loving them or that He made them go and do evil things... it means God allowed them to go off and trip over their own feet to see how they were hurting themselves as well as God!
God continues to love us even when we walk off in the opposite direction – He continues to wait for us to return and will accept us with loving open arms!
