For My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.
Jeremiah 2:13
Why would anyone ever forsake the Lord? Could there be anything better than the Lord?
God can only give good and perfect gifts and could never cause any evil on anyone. Sometimes we encounter times in our lives when we drift away from the Lord and seek our selfish ways.
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 what 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 God we are nothing and can do nothing. God desires to give us the best that He has to offer. The problem is 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 your own desires? Be careful not to forsake the fountain of living water that God has to offer. 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 we I seek You, I will find You. When I draw you close, You draw unto me even closer. Let me experience Your power today.
