Fear of the Lord & Comfort of the Holy Spirit

"Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, & Samaria had peace & were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord & the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied."
Acts 9:31

Once the Fear of the Lord & the Love of God--or "comfort of the Holy Spirit" connect to every area of our lives, everything begins to fall into place.

Life without these two things is like a tall building with a foundation, walls, and floors, but no electric or plumbing. The structure is there, but will not be useful until every room has been connected to electricity (fire of God/fear of the Lord) & plumbing (river of God, love of God).

Only then does that structure become useable & can be filled with people and multiplied. Lord, give us the Fear of the Lord & the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
