Chew

In the book I am reading it was talking about surrogate spirituality.  How often do we rely on what God is teaching others as our main source of what God is teaching us?  Insight from pastors, or friends, or books.   We aren't spending time searching out God's Word ourselves to see what He wants to teach us.  We wouldn't do that with a vacation- send someone on vacation for us so we don't have to pack or travel...we wouldn't do it with food-"I don't feel like chewing.  Will you chew for me?"
Why do we think it would work with our spiritual life?  We have an opportunity to have a personal relationship with our Creator, the One who hung the stars in the skies!   Why would we want to entrust that to someone else?
