Have you come up short lately?
Has the job failed you?
Has there been a broken relationship?
Are there things in your life that you’re trying to draw from but they’re just not meeting your needs?
See, Jesus met a woman at the well, maybe you’ve heard of her, and he called her out and said, hey listen, go grab your husband. She said, I don’t have a husband. He said, you’re right, actually you have five husbands and the one you’re with is not your husband. See, Jesus was pointing to the fact that this woman was trying to draw what she needed from the wrong wells, from the things in her life that she thought would meet the needs, but they failed. They were broken.
Jeremiah chapter 2 says, 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. See, Jesus has told this woman that if she really knew who he was, she would ask him for a drink and he would give her living water and that she would never thirst again.
See, when we come to Jesus, he’s the one who meets all of our needs. The things that we think we can draw from, the job, the success, the relationship, we think that those things are going to fill us up, but in fact, Jesus is the living water and he’s the one who’s going to fill up the needs in our life and he’s the only one who can make it so we thirst no more.
““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.”
