this thought needs to be developed a bit more but to get the post-it of my desk...here it is in its raw form...
one of the reasons we need to be in the Word is, we are the problem. We tend to see it as: there is a problem, I need to find, develop, manufacture a solution. No we/I/you ARE the problem, so the answer is not going to be found "within" myself, yourself, ourselves. We NEED God's Word for guidance, for truth, for direction. The problem is me.
