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 ESVhttps://bible.com/bible/59/jer.2.13.ESV
Where do we presume to find life? Is it in human relationships, like the Samaritan woman in John four? If so, we're only going to be bitterly disappointed and dissatisfied.
Maybe, like the Samaritan woman mentioned to Jesus, we seek meaning I'm our religious traditions. Perhaps we look to Jerusalem, Mecca, or somewhere else for our purpose. Jesus clarified that He Himself is the Source of spiritual satisfaction, not some geographical location.
If we profess faith in God, God forbid that we should look somewhere else to attempt to quench our spiritual thirst. Jesus blesses those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. If we're self-sufficient and self-relient, we're deluding ourselves.
Without God, we can't survive spiritually. We aren't masters of our own fate. God determines our days and our destinies.
'God, forbid that we should forsake You, the Source of all satisfaction. Please forgive us for idolising stuff that can never ultimately fulfil. In Christ's name, amen'
