This is definitely not my favorite book of the Bible - it's quite depressing most of the way. God's pretty much breaking up with his people and you know in the end they're going to get carried away to captivity. Oh well. It's once a week.
I found in today's passage another verse sorta like the one in Isaiah about lighting our own torches instead of looking to God as our light. This one said,
"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."
It's like if you're served up a nice enchilada dinner and you wave it off for a piece of stale bread! Why do we do it? Why do we not embrace what God has for us? Why do we think our way is better?
