“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. – Jeremiah 2:13This passage in Jeremiah mirrors the story in the Garden of Eden. Once again, mankind doesn’t want the tree of life, but they wanted their own version of the knowledge of good and evil with disastrous results. The first sin of forsaking the Lord means that we have to create an alternate solution for our needs. So we create our own cisterns to hold water, but our own creations can create new complexities. Do you feel that your life is too complex? Ask the Lord about this in prayer. Don’t be surprised if you find some self-made solutions that need to be dismantled in order to come back to the living water.
This scripture reminds of of a two year old screaming.... I can do it myself without you. That's what we do isn't it. Tell God, I won't trouble you I can do it myself. But we don't have the wisdom we need, me must ask Him. But we don't creating two errors. Not asking God, creating something unsusttainable without his wisdom We're so stupid sometimges.
