 ⁷ The path of the righteous is level;
   you, the Upright One, make the way of the righteous smooth.
⁸ Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws,^[a]
   we wait for you;
your name and renown
   are the desire of our hearts.
⁹ My soul yearns for you in the night;
   in the morning my spirit longs for you.
When your judgments come upon the earth,
   the people of the world learn righteousness.
¹⁰ But when grace is shown to the wicked,
   they do not learn righteousness;
even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil
   and do not regard the majesty of the LORD.

One thing that I am starting to realize more is that we are to learn from discipline, but we are also supposed to learn from the good things that God provides.  I mean I always understood this to some degree, but I see God holding up the good things that He has done in accusation to the people that are disobedient.  Sometimes it is so easy to neglect the good that we experience from the Lord.  The people of Israel even after being punished continued to disobey, holding on to the little bit of good in their lives not realizing even that little bit was from God.  Count your blessings and know that they also come with a requirement of obedience.
