For cross to the coasts of Cyprus and see,
or send to Kedar and examine with care;
see if there has been such a thing.
Has a nation changed its gods,
even though they are no gods?
But my people have changed their glory
for that which does not profit.
Be appalled, O heavens, at this;
be shocked, be utterly desolate,
declares the Lord,
For my people have committed two evils:
they have forsaken me,
the fountain of living waters,
and hewed out cisterns for themselves,
broken cisterns that can hold no water.
Jeremiah 2:10-13
I was reading in Jeremiah the other day, and this passage really stuck out to me. How sad, and yet how very true. Christ's followers, who are being lead by the TRUE God, are the most likely to wander from the path they are following. I pray that God would help us to stay true to him, and praise him for his loving grace, that holds fast no matter what. May our hearts take these words in, and may he use them to keep us on the one and only true path to life, with the one and only true God!
