Came across this:

Psalm 1:1-2: “Blessed is the man… his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.”

Instead of only relegating the Bible to “quiet time,” what if we opened our lives to engage with scripture all the time—including “noisy times”? Why not choose to listen to the Bible, instead of radio, podcasts, and audio books?

A lifestyle of Bible engagement (listening, reading, and studying) builds knowledge, and compounds with each read and listen.

That is silly...
We can just think back...in the old times of Jesus ..the people stood and LISTENED to God's word being read to them.
Most did not own a copy, and most others could not read..and down through the dark ages...ditto.

I don't do it now...but for years when fighting sickness...I slept with a tiny tape player under my pillow and and ear phones on.

God's word is alive , by whichever vehicle we use to receive it. :)

I'm sold on it. Audio Bible increases my Scripture intake markedly during the day.

Me I got sold on Christ when He said, "My sheep hear My voice", and so my Ears strain to listen to every words He speaks, Because His words when we hear them bring life to us, something that no bible can do.
