Hos 5:15  I will return again to my place, until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face, and in their distress earnestly seek me. 

Nothing can save a nation in whose heart the worst forms of corruption are being nourished, except a wholesale return of God and a seeking of His face. It is certain that if this lesson were profoundly learned and then practiced, the horrors of a world in arms would come to a speedy and a blessed end. ~ F B Meyer
