Water of Sihor 2!
Jeremiah 2:18 – "And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor?"
Is there not here a word of expostulation and warning to the Christian? Are we like the Israelites?
O true believer, called by grace and washed in the precious blood of Jesus, thou hast tasted of better drink than the muddy river of this world's pleasure can give thee; thou hast had fellowship with Christ; thou hast obtained the joy of seeing Jesus, and leaning thine head upon His bosom.
Do the trifles, the songs, the honours, the merriment of this earth content thee after that? Hast thou eaten the bread of angels, and canst thou live on husks?
If thou art wandering after the waters of Egypt, O return quickly to the one living fountain: the waters of Sihor may be sweet to the Egyptians, but they will prove only bitterness to thee.
What hast thou to do with them? Jesus asks thee this question this day. What wilt thou answer Him?
