Today’s reading is Acts 9:32-43, but I’m not going to talk about that until tomorrow.

Instead, I want to focus on the closing verse from yesterday’s portion:

So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied.

Acts 9:31

They feared God more than man, but they weren’t afraid, because the Holy Spirit gave them comfort.

I think there is something there for us today.

Do you and I fear man more than God? No wonder we live such anxious lives.

Instead, if we would fear God, we would be unafraid, and our lives would be fruitful.
