Broken Cisterns

God's harsh words to Israel in Jeremiah 2:13 serve as a fitting indictment against many today. "For My people have committed two evils; They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, to dig for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that hold no water." A profound description of turning from God in self-reliance and trusting in things we think will give us satisfaction and fulfillment, but truly won't--cisterns that are broken and hold no water. What a picture of forsaking God--forsaking the fountain of real living water to dig a well to catch runoff...a well that leaks. Pretty foolish. Lord, help me to examine my life to see if I'm digging any leaking wells.
