Summary: Time and time again throughout the Old Testament, we see the Israelites turn away from God to find satisfaction in other things, and time and time again, we see that it ends badly for them. That's because the only true satisfaction we'll ever find is in God alone. But the Israelites weren't the only ones to make that mistake; we do it too, building our own "cisterns" that ultimately crack and leak while God, the Fountain of Life, is waiting all along for us to come to Him.
