Walk With God
When I was growing up my parents had the following text on our wall at home: “And Enoch walked with God … three hundred years” (Genesis 5:22).
Three hundred years! Wow! That’s quite a record!
How many years does the average Christian have, to walk with God here in this world? Certainly, nowhere near 300! Enoch lived at a time when the world was in a very wicked condition, culminating with the flood in the following chapters. Enoch was gone by that time, but he left quite a testimony for us to consider. “And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him” (Genesis 5:24). “By faith Enoch … had this testimony, that he pleased God” (Hebrews 11:5).
John Shaw (1630-1704), when preaching, said of Enoch, “Yes, he walked with God so much that he just got in the knack (habit) of it.” Do you walk in the conscious sense of God’s company? We only have a few short years allotted to us, it is a good thing to get into the habit of walking with God every day.
Someone else has said, “Let us walk with God more, and we shall walk more like Him.”
