Walk Constantly With God
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.
Cain becomes the first murderer,
and the downward spiral continues
from Adam to Noah, paving the
way for God’s sweeping judgment
upon the wickedness of the world.
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). By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, and was not found because God had taken him; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that… He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Heb 11:5-6)
Lord, thanks for the lesson from
Gen 5 that You walked With Enoch.
Noted You almighty creator God
calibrated 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; and
received Christ’s promise: He who
believes in Me shall never die. Amen.
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. Amen.
Lord, we are challenged by the long term faithfulness of Enoch that he walked with You for 300 years. Help us also to please You like Enoch who not only believe in You but also earnestly seek after You. Help us also to seek after Your holiness for we learn in Jude that Enoch warns people that God is to be worshiped and obeyed. Amen.
