That is THE most important thing a Christian can do. I'm amazed at how many Christians have never read the Bible. How can anyone know what God commands us to do it they don't know what His Word says. I will never trust anyone to get me into Heaven. Not even a preacher. There's a lot of them who don't know the Word.
When I got saved, I didn't even have a Bible. A new Christian friend went right out and got one for me and I read that thing until I could no longer read it. It was destroyed. LOL I was like a sponge. I couldn't soak it up fast enough. I have since gone through 3 more and I'm working on a 4th, in addition to reading the on line Bible a couple of times. I'm in no way a Bible scholar, but it will be hard for anyone to ever deceive me about what I'm supposed to do as a Christian.
Agreed. Illiterate medieval peasants had an excuse (and, btw, this is why scripture readings are such an important part of the ancient liturgies -- most of the people could NOT read it for themselves nor had printing presses been invented). However someone who HAS a Bible and CAN read, is without excuse. To whom much is given....
"Read the Bible every day, making it an indispensable part of your daily routine

Wow, I would say the vast majority of saints would disagree with that statement. Praying to God is more important than reading in of itself. I am aware of Scripture scholars who are quite competent on phrases and verses in Scripture, but don't apply it to their lives. Reading itself is not the single most important thing we can do.
According to such as St. Francis, prayer, not Scripture reading, is what leads us to humility and obedience to God.
