Coming to God in Trouble
J. H. Jowett, M. A. Hosea 5:15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. "We only see those birds, sir, when the storms are about," said an old man to me on the seashore last week. That is typical of some people who only come to God in times of storm, and dearth, and epidemic, and never make their dwelling in God. (J. H. Jowett, M. A.). Parallel Verses KJV: I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. WEB: I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly."
