Grace for your spirit
For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me,the fountain of living waters, to hew for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns,that can hold no water. Jeremiah 2:13
Have you ever noticed how many times in the Bible that God uses water as a picture of blessings and curses? Jeremiah was a prophet in Judah to people who had rejected God and were in deep trouble. God had the living waters to bless them, but they had cut themselves off from those blessings. They rationalized that they could sustain themselves, but they were mistaken. The things they were counting on would not be there when they needed them. The cistern of blessings they thought they had, could not and would not hold water. When their lives dried up, they would not have anything, and God would be far away as well. Have we committed those evils? When we think we don't need God, and think we can handle it ourselves, we have those two evils. Let's not wait until we are dying of thirst, to keep our fountains from God flowing freely.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
