Q: Why should I read the Bible every day?
A: Just as we eat regularly to maintain our physical health, regular Bible reading helps keep us on track and healthy in a spiritual sense.
Just as it would be ludicrous to eat a big meal on Sunday and expect it to hold us for a week, reading the Bible sporadically – or not at all – is equally unwise from a spiritual standpoint.
In addition to regular Bible reading, other components of spiritual health include regular prayer and meditation, along with periodic fasting.
A lifelong student of the Bible, Peter DeHaan, PhD, wrote the 1,000-page website ABibleADay.com to encourage people to explore the Bible. His main blog and many books urge Christians to push past the status quo and reconsider how they practice their faith in every area of their lives.
