We don’t operate on spiritual batteries, but in yourself you only have so much internal energy regardless of your desire. We need God to strengthen us with power through His Spirit-filled words (Eph. 3:16-17). We get a jump start and are charged up every time we get into God’s Book. There is a noticeable difference when you are consistently reading the Bible. The religious problems in the world are not caused by people reading different translations; the biggest problem is that many read no translation. There is no wonder why people who are not reading the Bible lack the power provided by God to live a fruitful Christian life.
