When I look back through my old Bible study journals, it gives me some feelings of guilt, and I cringe when I see the gaps in dates, some of them weeks or months long. There have been times in my life where I was very consistent with Bible reading. I would keep up the habit for several weeks, or even a few months at a time. But then something would happen to make me stop, and a habit, once broken, is hard to restart.
My problem was not busyness, or lack of time, but a lack of discipline.
Discipline is such a good thing. In order to create any new good habits, we need discipline.
