Walking With God
Backgrounder on Genesis 3-5:
The perfect environment into
which man was placed is now
shattered by the entrance of sin.
Disobedience follows as the first
family eats from the forbidden
tree and is expelled from the
garden. The results of their sin
spread quickly as humankind
and the whole creation fall
under the penalty of death.
Lord, we purpose to Walk with You:
Enoch lived 65 years and begot
Methuselah. After he begot
Methuselah, Enoch walked with
God 300 years and had sons
and daughters. So all the days of
Enoch were 365 years. And Enoch
walked with God; and he was not,
for God took him (Gen 5:21-25).
Lord, thanks for the lesson from
Gen 5 that You walked With Enoch.
That U the Big, almighty creator God was willing to Calibrate
your stride for Enoch’s sake,
to take into account his frailty.
So intimate was your relationship
with Enoch that when the time
came for Enoch to leave earth
and enter eternity, his walk just
continued. Death for Enoch was
just the natural extension of his
life. He just Kept Walking with U.
And Enoch received the promise
early that came later to the
followers of Christ: He who
believes in me shall never die.
Lord, we thank you for the gift of
Your Presence. I am grateful and
filled with wonder and amazed
that you love me so much you
actually desire my presence.
Teach me more each day what
it really means to walk with you.
Help my thoughts not to be
wholly occupied with the world’s
passing show. But grant each
day may strengthen my hold on
the reality of the unseen world.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
