Here’s one passage in the Bible that shows the significance and necessity of reading scripture daily. It prevents us from becoming proud. It stops us from thinking we are “above” others. It helps us see the importance of God’s word and keeps us close to the practice of reading daily, thus preventing us from drifting away. If only people would get their focus off themselves and get it on truth and pursuing God. Things would be so different, if every human being read scripture on a daily basis. But we know that’s not going to happen here on this earth now. But you can start, and be one that pleases God by following His commands. When others see the change and conviction in your life, it will point others to Jesus. It all starts with making a commitment to reading God’s word on a daily, consistent basis. You can’t know the mind of god, if your not pursuing Him, and allowing Him to speak His mind to you.
18 “When he sits on the throne as king, he must copy for himself this body of instruction on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical priests. 19 He must always keep that copy with him and read it daily as long as he lives. That way he will learn to fear the Lord his God by obeying all the terms of these instructions and decrees. 20 This regular reading will prevent him from becoming proud and acting as if he is above his fellow citizens. It will also prevent him from turning away from these commands in the smallest way. And it will ensure that he and his descendants will reign for many generations in Israel.
Deuteronomy 17:18-20
