Why Should Christians Read Their Bibles Daily?

Why should Christians read their Bibles daily? Why is it important to be in God’s word 7 days a week? To prevent oneself from becoming proud and acting as if you are above others. To teach one to fear God, or continuing to fear God. It’s a daily dose of spiritual food. If we starve ourselves spiritually, we can only pretend to play the religion game for so long. Spiritual malnutrition will deplete us to the point of death. Reading God’s word daily keeps us alive. It helps our focus. It continues to shape our worldview. It’s necessary to the human spirit. It’s like working out. If you only train your biceps, you’ll create a muscle imbalance and any injury will take place. Neglecting God’s word creates a spiritual void in our lives. That emptiness must be filled. In God’s absence we try to fill it with anything we can, only later to find nothing else fits. This passage is specifically talking about a king, but it applies to us all. Read your Bible. You won’t regret the time you spend in God’s word.

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
