Psalm 119:98-99

Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for Your words are always with me.  I have better understanding and deeper insight than all my teachers (because of Your word) for Your testimonies are my meditation.  

The deeper connection we want from God comes from reading and meditating on His word.  The bible is our insight into how God thinks and His expectations for us, and what He wants to give us.  God provides us with gifts and opportunities for wisdom and leadership in our lives.
