Psalms 78:10

Obedience

8 Then they will not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose heart was not loyal, whose spirit was not faithful to God.

9 The archers of Ephraim turned back on the day of battle.

They failed to keep God’s covenant and refused to live by His law.

11 They forgot what He had done, the wonders He had shown them.

12 He worked wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
