The following excerpt is taken from a January 1995 Ensign article: Scripture Reading and Revelation By Elder Dallin H. Oaks Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
"Just as continuing revelation enlarges and illuminates the scriptures, so also a study of the scriptures enables men and women to receive revelations. Elder Bruce R. McConkie said, “I sometimes think that one of the best-kept secrets of the kingdom is that the scriptures open the door to the receipt of revelation” (Doctrines of the Restoration, ed. Mark L. McConkie, Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1989, p. 243). This happens because scripture reading puts us in tune with the Spirit of the Lord."
It is so easy to put off such a seemingly insignificant task as reading the scriptures, especially when life is busy and so full of highly entertaining activities (tv, ipods, video games, dvds, etc). Brother Frahm challenges his Seminary students to read the scriptures at least a little bit each and every day to establish the habit of becoming "in tune with the Spirit of the Lord."
