Walk With God
Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him. (Gen 5:24)
The idea of walking is used in a metaphorical way to mean living life or conducting oneself in a certain way.
A man who is alive walks. A dead man doesn’t.
The Christian life has been called a walk.
You can tell a lot about a person by the way he walks.
If he walks confidently, he is probably healthy.
If he walks with a crutch, he might have a broken leg.
If he walks with a walking stick, he is probably elderly.
If he keeps on looking around him, he is probably suspicious or fearful of something or someone.
If he keeps on looking at the floor when he walks, well, he might be deep in thoughts.
To walk by faith and not by sight means to rely on the Lord for our salvation and everything else in life and not depend on the way we see things (2 Cor 5:7).
To walk by the Spirit means to follow the Spirit’s leading (Gal 5:16).
To walk with Jesus is to live in a close, personal relationship with Him.
Enoch was a man who lived in close, intimate fellowship with God.
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (Heb 11:5)
He lived in such a way that he pleased God in his thoughts, desires, plans, speech, and actions.
He was so close with God that he knew God’s plan for the future.
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints. (Jude 14)
Eventually, he did not see death. He walked with God till the Lord carried him straight into heaven.
May we also have this testimony that we walk with the Lord and that we please Him.
