The Surprising Benefits of Daily Bible Reading

January 21, 2026 By Peter Krol

I’ve shared many posts over the years outlining the many benefits of frequent Bible reading. I still was delighted and surprised by some of the insights on this list by Kevin Carson and Howard Eyrich. IN addition to the usual “strengthen your faith” and “deepen you relationship with God,” they observe some benefits I haven’t fully realized myself. Blessings such as:

  • #4: It equips us for special battles
  • #7: It fosters a habit of consistency
  • #9: It prepares us to encourage others

What I most appreciate is that daily Bible reading is not just for you but also for others, by equipping you to serve them better. What a terrific motivation for reading God’s word every day.

Check it out!
