"For My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns; broken cisterns that can hold no water." (Jer. 2:13)

The evening news reported regarding a photographer who was a skydiver. He had jumped from a plane along with numerous other skydivers and filmed the group as they fell and opened their parachutes. On the film shown on the telecast, as the final skydiver opened his chute, the picture went berserk. The announcer reported that the cameraman had fallen to his death, having jumped out of the plane without his parachute. It wasn't until he reached for the absent ripcord that he realized he was free falling without a parachute.

The photographer had faith in a parachute which was never buckled on. Faith in anything other than God, the fountain of living waters, can be just as tragic spiritually. Let us never forsake the fountain of living waters for things of lesser worth.
