CISTERNS THAT HOLD NO WATER.
Good morning. This morning i hear on the news more and more results of what happens when people regard not God.
Yes even in our nation of the United States of America.This morning my hearts prayer is that i adore Christ my redeemer,i love to hear men preach his word.Especially those who preach it with passion.I love to hear men and women sing God glorifying songs.I love to see families decide to serve God.I love the change i see in peoples lives when they read Gods word everyday,and their desires change for the good.And for this reason the Lord has led me to the book of Jeremiah chapter 2.This mornings news,listening to the talking heads trying to influence our votes and choices in life,brings me and the Holy Spirit to these verses in Jeremiah.13,11,and 9 of Jeremiah chapter 2.
The Lord said "For my people have commited two evils;they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters,and hewed them out cisterns,broken cisterns,that can hold no water"
VS. 11 says..."Hath a nation changed their gods,which which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit" verse 9 says" Wherfore i will yet plead with you,saith the Lord,and with your children's children will i plead"
#1.The USA many years ago did this.Turning from The one real God.Making herself material gods,while just ignoring The God of Abraham Issac and jacob. The God of King David,Jeremiah,Elijah,Nathan,Daniel etc etc.
Yes even people who profess Christianity but not necessarily Christ himself.
By doing so we have hewned out cisterns,broken,that hold no water.Such as the god of education that has proven to be almost worthless,yet continues to take billions of dollars from tax payers.In fact american education is teaching young people to ignore GOD.Get an education and you don't need a God is there Montra.Awake.....look at the downward spiral of the greatness of America.What good is an education if there is no nation to use it in?
The 13th verse makes it clear.This constant barrage of liberalism and spewing hate for The Almighty cannot hold water.
ok...verse 11 shows we once had glory but have now changed that for something that does not profit.Yet the AWESOME mercy of the Lord still pleads with us.He has been pleading with man since the fall of Adam.
You know....the most important thing a parent can do for their children is teach them about the Lord.That he comes first. That he wants you to be successful and fulfilled.God loves us so much he came here and died for us. Its clear what he thinks about a nation that turns their face away from him.It is clear that there are consequences to ignoring The Heavenly Father and going our own way.Without Christ and the love of God in your heart,you will never be satisfied with anything this world has to offer.You will never get enough.
My prayer is that we get to the point where we never get enough of the BIBLE,The Word of GOD.The more you know him the more you will love him.The entire chapter 2 of Jeremiah shows me how much he loves me and wants my success.I know these passages were about Israel....but i also know i am a believing Gentile and thru Christ,The Heavenly Father is my Father. And he has pleaded with me for years.He now pleads with my children and their children just as he says in verse 9. I love you Lord,and always will.You have been so good to me,and when life was tuff on me....most of it was because i built cisterns that held no water.
