A quorum being present the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:

Beloved, hear again Jeremiah, the spiritual counselor to his government at the turn of the 7th century B.C. Note again the picture language that is Hebrew, Chapter 2 (v. 13) (NRSV):

"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."
Let us pray.

Our Father, we thank You for the record of Your relationship with the Hebrews in the Old Testament. When they were faithful to You they succeeded in life, when they turned away from You they suffered.

Grant, O Lord, that we, in our day may choose, in our personal and corporate lives, "the fountain of living water" rather than digging out of the mud cracked, broken cisterns that can hold no water.

Help us to make that decision... each morning... in the Messiah's name!

Amen.
