Acts 9:31
Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.

There are many scriptures which has blessings for those who fear the Lord. Psalm 128 has put most of the blessings together and reconfirms it in v4, “Yes, this will be the blessing…”

When we live in the fear of the Lord and led by the Holy Spirit, the number of those who believe in the Lord will increase. Here we see the church enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened.

How about our life as a disciple, do we enjoy a time of peace and feeling strengthened being led by the Spirit? What is leading us today, Spirit or something/someone else? How about our fellowship / ministry / church? As partners in the gospel, what can we do to make the group enjoy a time of peace?

Proverbs 19:23 - The fear of the Lord leads to life; then one rests content, untouched by trouble.
