Broken Cisterns

Broken CisternsJeremiah 2:13Jeremiah documented God’s heartache as He watched His beloved people pursue emptiness while He was offering them endless fulfillment. Instead of choosing God and running toward the life-giving water of His presence, His people poured their energy and resources into futile, broken ambitions. Those cracked cisterns were never going to be able to sustain or fulfill God’s people, and yet they continued to put their hope in emptiness. They looked to barren wells to provide what only God could give them.For many of us, as we navigate the current reality of inflation, national turmoil, what is being revealed many of the empty wells we’ve been digging. For years, we’ve poured into our jobs, our relationships, our hobbies, our status, our savings, and every other thing that we’ve hoped could satisfy us. And now we see more clearly that those wells have left us dry and thirsty. As we move forward into a new season, we don’t have to spend any more time digging broken cisterns. We can drink deeply from the living water that we’ve been offered through Christ.
