Your Problem Is Not God
‘For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.’
Jeremiah 2:13
Why would anyone ever forsake the Lord and turn to something else for hope? Could there be anything better than the Lord?
Sometimes we encounter seasons when we drift away from the Lord and seek our own ways. It’s during these times that we come up dry and wanting. Jesus said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.” (John 7:37)
Jesus wants to give us an endless supply of fresh living water. A water that will last for eternity. A living water that gives all.
Why would we ever seek for anything else but the best that the Lord has to offer? God said, “My people have created their own water pots that can’t even hold water.” This is so true when we try to rely on our own power and strength.
Without Jesus we are nothing and can do nothing. God desires to give the best that He has to offer to us, which is Jesus. The problem lies when we think that we can do something bigger or better than God. There is nothing in this entire universe that could ever out do God.
Think about the things that you are seeking in your life today. Are they the things of God or the things of self ambition? His ways are much better than our ways. His provision is much healthier and will sustain us for eternity. If you are encountering a dry spell in your relationship with the Lord, the problem is not with God.
Pray
Lord, Your promise is that when I seek You, I will find You. When I draw close to You, You draw unto me even closer. Let me experience Your power today.
