If that is your desire, I would first before reading the word, ask the Lord to open up your heart and mind, and ask Him to give you a hunger for His word in order that you might be fed Spiritually.
The Lord has to be involved in your study. If you, in prayer, involve Him every time you approach His word, eventually He will put a hunger in you for His word and you will want more and more every day. You won't be able to stay away from it. You might leave off for a day or two every now and then, but that hunger will not allow you to stay away for very long.
With our physical food, when we get hungry we have to eat to satisfy our hunger. It works the same way with God's word which is our spiritual nourishment. If we belong to Christ, He will give us that hunger for His word and it is only through His word that we can be spiritually nourished.
Please know that you can't do this on your own. God's Spirit has to be involved. Without His Spirit drawing us to His word, we will soon drift away and find every excuse in the world not to remain in the word.
So, pray that Lord gives you that hunger. He knows your heart. If it is truly your desire to study the Bible daily, He will give you that hunger and He will continually draw you to it!
