Walking with God

As the Scriptures said, “Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters” (Genesis 5:22, NIV); As Enoch's ancestors “lived” after the birth of their children, the Bible says that Enoch “walked with God” for three hundred years after the birth of his son, Methuselah. This conjures up images of Enoch striding through his fields or strolling around town talking with God as if God were physically beside him. I see this picture as relationship so intimate that everywhere Enoch went he knew God was near him. This suggested that walking with God is better somehow than simply living. And, I picture Enoch working in his fields, sowing and reaping and harvesting, discussing his life with God. David could think how Enoch revealed his deepest thoughts and the desires of his heart; he opened up what lay inside because God knew it anyway. Enoch trusted God with his life. That's what intimacy is all about.

Hence, we’re to walk with God: by talking with God; by letting God know our deepest thoughts; by praising God every day for the wonders of life; by being open to God's presence everywhere; by trusting God with our life. The more we work on intimacy with God, the more we will trust God.

Do pray we draw closer to God that we would have a deep integrity in our walk with God with a sense of God's daily presence in our lives.
