10 “Go west and look in the land of Cyprus; go east and search through the land of Kedar. Has anyone ever heard of anything as strange as this? 11 Has any nation ever traded its gods for new ones, even though they are not gods at all? Yet my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols! 12 The heavens are shocked at such a thing and shrink back in horror and dismay,” says the Lord. 13 “For my people have done two evil things: They have abandoned me, the fountain of living water. And they have dug for themselves cracked cisterns that can hold no water at all! Jeremiah 2:10-13 (NLT)
We will choose daily the placement of our worship
1. Worship of our glorious God – v.11
2. Worship of worthless idols – v.11
3. The Fountain of Living Water – v.13
4. The empty well of false hope – v.13
Jonah 2:8 (NIV84) - "Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs."
Jonah would ask: Why would we ever cling to the empty promises of broken cisterns, when God promises to constantly refresh us with living water – Himself!
John 4:4-14
4 He had to go through Samaria on the way. 5 Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime. 7 Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.” 8 He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food. 9 The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?” 10 Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.” 11 “But sir, you don’t have a rope or a bucket,” she said, “and this well is very deep. Where would you get this living water? 12 And besides, do you think you’re greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his animals enjoyed?” 13 Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. 14 But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”
1. Sin will always fail to satisfy. (John 4:13)
2. Jesus will forever provide what our souls crave. (John 4:14)
3. The flow within us is purposed to spill over from our lives. (John 4:14, 28-30, 39-42)
