Dirty Water

Jeremiah 2:13 "My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water."




This verse really struck me today. Who, when they are thirsty, would chose a broken cistern of dirty collected rain water over a sparkling spring of fresh water?!
But I do. Every day. My Jesus offers fresh water to quench my thirst. Instead I chose dirty water to try to fill the hole in my life. This world offers me things that kind of look good- entertainment, comfort, etc. But these things are as dirty water to sate my thirst compared to the sparkling, never ending stream that Jesus offers!
