I found the same problem with study Bibles in my life. I enjoy reference materials on the bookshelf to refer to separately but not while I am studying the Word of God. Good word brother.

Judges 18:5 And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.
2. I've fallen from the PRACTICE of right dividing. Many times, I've fail in my study either Devotionally and Doctrinally. I love a verse by verse study or expository kind of study but when, I look at my Study bibles then I forget all of these things.
Again thanks...
