When they finally hit rock bottom,
maybe they’ll come looking for me. 
Hosea 5:15 (The Message)

It is only when things stop working that we look for something else. And as we progress in our daily walk, those rock bottoms look different. A "rock bottom" isn't always laying in a ditch on the side of a road - although it can be that. It is any time we find ourselves in a place where what we have been doing isn't working the way it used to. It's a gentle reminder to turn back to God, the source of all that is, the ground of all being, to reorient ourselves again.
