Because we lack focus and are distracted and inconsistent, we default to quick studies or devotionals. These give us a surface knowledge of Scripture and thus a surface experience with God. And because going deeper takes time, it’s usually the first thing to go when our schedules get busy. But if we truly want to live the overcoming life and want to experience the living water Jesus promised the Samaritan woman, we have to take time to go deep in study and prayer.
