Two "two evils" we all commit

Staying in the book of Jeremiah, chapter 2, verse 13 (KJV) outlines the double-edge sin we all commit. In the verse, God first says,

For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters...

Note the similarity to the language Jesus uses when speaking at the well with the Samaritan woman (John 4:14, KJV),

But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

So the first part of our sin is that we refuse God's life-giving "water." But it gets worse! Returning to Jeremiah 2:13,

...and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

So, not only do we turn our back on God, we search out things to replace him, things that "can hold no water." In our prayers, let us search out times we have committed those sins listed in Jeremiah 2:13, and ask for forgiveness.
