The term "energetic" is not directly found in the Bible; however, the concept of energy, vigor, and zeal is woven throughout the Scriptures. The Bible often emphasizes the importance of being fervent in spirit and diligent in one's work for the Lord.

Biblical Examples of Energetic Individuals:

1. David: David is a prime example of an energetic individual in the Bible. As a young shepherd, he displayed remarkable energy and courage when he faced Goliath (1 Samuel 17). His zeal for the Lord and his people is evident throughout his life, as he tirelessly worked to establish and expand the kingdom of Israel.

2. Paul: The Apostle Paul is another figure who exemplifies energy in his ministry. Despite facing numerous hardships, Paul remained fervent in spreading the Gospel. In 1 Corinthians 15:10 , Paul acknowledges the grace of God that enabled him to work harder than others: "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me."

3. Nehemiah: Nehemiah demonstrated great energy and leadership in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. His determination and organizational skills rallied the people to complete the task in record time, despite opposition (Nehemiah 4:6).

Scriptural Encouragement for Energetic Service:

The Bible encourages believers to be energetic in their service to God. Romans 12:11 exhorts, "Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord." This verse highlights the importance of maintaining enthusiasm and dedication in one's spiritual life.

In Colossians 3:23 , Paul instructs, "Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men." This passage underscores the call to approach all tasks with energy and commitment, as if serving the Lord directly.

Energetic Worship and Praise:

The Psalms often reflect an energetic approach to worship and praise. Psalm 100:1-2 invites believers to "Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Serve the LORD with gladness; come into His presence with joyful songs." This call to worship with joy and enthusiasm is a reminder of the energy that should characterize our relationship with God.

Zeal and Energy in Spiritual Warfare:

The Bible also speaks of the need for energy in spiritual warfare. Ephesians 6:10 advises, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power." Believers are called to put on the full armor of God and to stand firm against the schemes of the devil, requiring spiritual energy and vigilance.

Conclusion:

While the word "energetic" may not appear in the biblical text, the concept is clearly present. The Scriptures encourage believers to be fervent, diligent, and zealous in their service to God, reflecting the energy and commitment that characterize a vibrant faith.
