It's like looking at one star in
middle of a dark sky...The star stands still while you fly up to it.
As you get closer you see someone standing there holding an object. You can't see what it is so you move even closer. It's a cup that is almost vase shaped.
You watch as
person pours some water into
top of it. -Before
person even finishes pouring into it,
water is flowing out parts of
sides and
bottom!
You watch
person get upset and go for more water to fill
cup.
You're still watching but you slowly start to float backwards, away from
star and into space.
All of
sudden you stop and watch water float right by
star. It just continues to flow right on past this person that is still upset over
holes in
container...
Do you realize that we humans are too good at fighting to do more to fix a problem -and yet sometimes we miss
flow of
best?
God knew this He had it written down for us in Jeremiah 2:13. He said, "For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me,
fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water."
The First Evil Let's look at
first evil. God's people have left Him. He is
fountain of living water. God doesn't have any holes... The flow keeps on continuing from Him with no end...
The Second Evil God's people hewing their own cisterns is
second evil.
