DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 19; Proverbs 16; 2 Peter 3
My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me the fountain of living waters, and have hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. Jeremiah 2:13
How foolish to exchange the plentiful, pure water of a fountain, for the meagre trickle from a broken cistern! In a figure, this is what Israel had done: they turned from the Lord, and gave their allegiance to false gods. The lesson for us is clear: Shall we go for our spiritual refreshment to the Fountain, or shall we resort to impure, unsatisfying worldly sources? —George Hall
O, what is all that earth can give?
I’m called to share in God’s own joy:
Dead to the world, in Thee I live,
In Thee I’ve bliss without alloy. —Author Unknown
