Our relationship with God is a mutual relationship – God not only
interacts with us, God desires for us to interact with God in deeply personal
ways. And yet, though God is faithful to
us, we often are not faithful to God. We
like to have God around (as a consultant), but God wants to be more than a
consultant – God wants to be a confidante, one who walks with us and we with
God. The sins we commit are not so much
behavioral “sins” but the sin of not needing God. We think that we are self-sufficient – but
life is to be found in being centered in God.
Jeremiah reveals the waywardness of the priests and people in
which they sought to find living water elsewhere than from the life of
God. From where do we draw our life?
