21 Exceptional Benefits Of Daily Bible Reading will help you come to the realization that the Bible is not an ordinary book, but everything about it is exceptional.
I once heard a preacher say in a sermon the biggest dust storm will hit the world when all the Christians take their Bibles off the shelves at the same time and open it.
The dust is collected from standing on the shelve for a long time without being touched.
The sad truth is however that very few of God’s children set time aside to spend time in His Word.
Think of the Bible as your life manual. We learn the background and history from the lives of the faith heroes in the Bible. Their mistakes, and how to improve in our own lives. Through the pages of the Bible, implementing the truths into our own lives, and imitating Christ, it’s no longer another book but become our life story.
Before moving on to the Benefits Of Daily Bible Reading, I want to share Scriptures with you about God’s fingerprint and His identity in His Word. If you want to skip this and read the Benefits you can press here.

21 Exceptional Benefits Of Daily Bible Reading
1. Bible Reading Assists Us To Become Spiritually Mature
“For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
Hebrews 5:13-14
“For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
Hebrews 5:13-14
An infant is slowly introduced to solid food, the first few months a baby can only digest milk, then he can only eat pureed food and then small pieces of food.
Daily Bible reading teaches the Christian foundations to new believers, but if they don’t persevere and neglect spending time in God’s Word, they are not moving forward in becoming spiritually mature.
