Extremely, extremely important. And equally important--reading your Bible--just reading it. Not studying it, deconstructing it, contextualizing it, reconstructing it, analyzing it, flaying it, roasting it and baking it--but reading it--reading what happened, what was going on, what people's reactions were, etc. Study has it's place, but sometime people who are studying the Bible never really read what is there because they are so busy trying to take it apart.

(Same is true of almost any literary study.)
