The Zone - Acts 9:31

"The church then had peace throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria, and it grew in strength and numbers. The believers were walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit." Acts 9:31

Athletes talk about being in that place when they are competing at the highest level. Where there are no distractions, no noise, just total focus, absolute confidence and no fear. The Zone. I feel like that's what the church was experiencing in Acts 9. "...walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit." What else could you want?! You are walking with the God of the Universe, in fear and awe that with him NOTHING is impossible, and that he is on YOUR side. At the same time, you have the peace, comfort and confidence that only the Holy Spirit can give. Does it get better? THAT is the zone I want to be walking in daily.

Jesus, I pray that you remove the distractions and improve my focus.
