Return to the Lord…

Learn the Hebrew for Hosea 14:1.

 

Comment

From the Torah (Va’etchanan) we read: “if you seek for the LORD your God from there, you will find him, if you search for him with all your heart (בְּכָל־לְבָבְךָ) and with all your soul” (Deut. 4:29).  From where do we search, from what place, except while in exile, after hardship, testing, and tribulation?  If you seek for the LORD your God from there – in the midst of your exile, in the midst of your heart’s cry – you will find him there, in your heart. This message is a prophecy, so that even after testing befalls you, in the end you will belong to the LORD and will hear his voice. – John
