Jeremiah 2, verses 11 and 13: "Has a nation changed its Gods which are not Gods? But my people have changed their glory for what does not profit. For my people have committed two evils. They have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water."
The prophet Jeremiah wept with a broken heart over the people of his time, who, having forsaken God, had no idea of the unsolvable hardship that lay just before them. The arrogance of the stubborn and fallen human heart repeatedly believes, contrary to the evidence of history, that God's ways can be mocked and rejected without consequence.

It's time now to pray.
