In the lectionary readings for today God is complaining that people don’t turn to Him but instead, act as if they were gods themselves.  In Jeremiah He says: “For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and dug out cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that can hold no water.”  Imagine that! People are ignoring God, thefountain of living water, and relying solely on their own cracked cisterns.  They probably don’t even know their cisterns are cracked -- that’s how proud they are.
