"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus" Acts 4:13 (NIV).
I absolutely love this verse. It assures us that there is literally no substitute for spending time with Jesus. It's what separates the real from the fake, and it distinguishes those who take the time to pray. The Christian life can only truly be achieved through spending time with God and letting Him infuse us with His power. It's like getting our spiritual batteries recharged. If we go too long without charging our battery, we begin to run on fumes and the Christian life begins to be frustrating. That's when we try to do things or be good enough in our own strength. We can't live the Christian life without Christ! God absolutely loves when we spend time with Him and His Word, so let's slow down and soak in the Living Water - Jesus Christ!
