Two Sins

“My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken me, the spring of living water,
and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.”

Two sins–a turning away and turning toward. Is this not the story of all of our sins? A turning away from God and a turning to our own way? Is this not what the Teacher in Ecclesiastes 7 states when he says, “This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes”? God makes us upright, but we devolve and fixate on the dirt. Why is it that we do not cling to what God has given us? Why reach to steal those things which he has not?
