God gives Israel a picture they would never forget.
They abandoned a spring of living water.
And chose broken cisterns instead.
Now, if you didn’t know, there’s a difference between a fresh spring and a broken cistern.
A spring constantly produces fresh water.
A broken cistern slowly loses whatever it holds.
That's the difference between God and everything else we chase.
Money leaks.
Success leaks.
Popularity leaks.
Relationships, careers, possessions, and accomplishments were never designed to carry the weight of your soul.
They make terrible saviors.
Because all of them eventually leak.
