And there you will serve gods of wood and stone, the work of human hands, that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. But from there you will seek the LORD your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. When you are in tribulation, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, you will return to the LORD your God and obey his voice. For the LORD your God is a merciful God. He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.
Sometimes, when going through a trial or dealing with a temptation, my inclination is to dig my heels in and proceed in my own stupidity and stubbornness. Not a good idea. It is a time to seek the LORD, God the Almighty by returning to Him, repenting of my self-reliance and obeying His voice.
