The way we approach reading the Bible NOW is usually not how Jesus Himself approached the Word of God! Yes, a daily “quiet time” is a beautiful thing. But up until about 400 years ago, Christians did not have personal Bibles in their homes! What can we learn from them, and what can we learn from the ways Jesus  delighted in the Word? As a human, He took on all the limitations of flesh, which means when He  was memorizing Deuteronomy (when Satan tempts Him, Jesus quotes Deuteronomy three times!), He had to learn like every other human child does. In Scripture, we see that Jesus listened to, memorized, sang, spoke, and taught the Word.
