This morning we talked about a man named Enoch. He is mentioned twice in the Bible; Genesis 5:21-24 and Hebrews 11:5-6. In both the passages we learn that he had a very strong relationship with God, it is described as walking with God. We also learn that he never died, instead God just took him straight to heaven, like Elijah. We spent our morning talking about what that word walk means and what it looks like.
Any walk has a beginning and an end. There are usually things that try to draw us off the path, there are times when a walk can be easy and times when it is difficult, and there are times we see ahead and sometimes that we have no clue what is around a bend. What really makes for a good walk though? I think a good walk should be fun and interesting, that there should be someone to talk with, that there is a good pace (not to fast, not to slow), and that the destination is worth the time and energy put in.
We use the term for walk, in regard to our relationship with God. So when we are talking about walking with God what we are saying is that we have a relationship with him, we are going his direction and we trust him as he leads us along. No matter if you are saved or not, you are walking. A saved person's deistation will be different (heaven as compared to hell). Our pace should be determined by God not ourself or those around us. We are wlaking with God, not alone or with some other person or thing. And we are walking for a different reason too.
In the passage we read it is interesting to note that the word lived is substitued with Walked in this passage. some people merely live ans ome people walk with God. It is also interesting to remember that God wants to walk with YOU! So the question is, do you desire to walk with God or are you walking away?
Our Genesis Gobs for the week were to read Genesis 6:1-9:17 and to draw our walk with God up to this point in our life.
I give this morning: B
