Steady Walk

Cars, trucks, bikes, scooters, motorcycles, buses, trains, and planes – nonetheless, people still walk.  Of course, I’m referring to walking for pleasure and exercise.  I prefer to do my walking indoors (where it’s cool) on a treadmill.  The only probably with that is the scenery doesn’t change!

Enoch is one of my favorite men of the Bible.  We know very little about him except something terribly profound: “Enoch walked with God after he fathered Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days of Enoch were 365 years.  Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.” (Genesis 5:22-24)  Scripture doesn’t just give an account of Enoch living, rather, this man, 7^th generation from Adam, walked with God!  Four words describe him, “Enoch walked with God.”  God was Enoch’s life-focus; he lived a life in agreement with his Creator – “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3)  Envision such a walk with God: it doesn’t end, only transitions from here to eternity?  Apparently, that’s what happened with Enoch because Enoch did not die – God just took him!  A faithful, constant, steady walk that never ends – a life so focused on and in-tune with Christ, it is never interrupted … the walk just continues from this place to that glorious eternal place.  “Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.” (Psalm 107:8-9)  Make your walk a steady one!
