  1. Such powerful words that speak to me. I don’t even realize all the times I don’t turn to God first. If I am honest, I think I turn to friends first instead of praying on my situation.

  2. This scripture has “stuck out” to me time and time again. Thank you for illustrating it so beautifully, Becky. (and I so appreciate all the examples you gave of cisterns. None of us are excluded from the temptation of choosing the stale over the living, are we?)

    Glory to God and His Living Water that quenches our every thirst!

    Gratefully,
    Nikki S. White

  3. Thank you for this timely devotion. I have been struggling with a situation/decision the past couple of days and woke up to the realization this morning that I have been turning to several broken cisterns to try to find the answer. I have done all the research I can, anything else is trying to force the solution in the direction I am feeling pressured by others. I need to realize that solution might not be the right one for me at this time and let things play out with God’s plan.

  4. Thank you, Becky, for these powerful soul searching words. My heart and spirit aches over the “broken cisterns” that I have gone to over the years, cisterns that that have dried up. Your words and this scripture have gone behind some of these hidden places in my heart and soul.

    May God’s blessing be upon you this day.

  5. Really thought provoking words. I think sadly we can exhibit the bad cisterns without even realizing from time to time. Hopefully we can all learn to choose living water first and connect with Him deeper.
