Morning Prayer 

Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

Inspiration 

Jeremiah brought this timely Word from the Lord to Israel, rebuking them for abandoning the worship of the true God in order to follow after the false gods of the heathen nations around them. Jehovah was the fountain of living water, and the idols of the nations were like broken cisterns that would quickly run dry and prove utterly useless.

Prayer 

You, Lord, are the only true God and your Word is the foundation of all true religion. We see the world around us enamored of diversity, even when that means accepting falsehood as equal with truth. But your children will ever hold to your Word as the one infallible source of truth and "hate every false way. " (Psalm 119:104) Amen.
