Walk With Him

“And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” Genesis 5:24

Sometimes, the more significant, powerful, or influential someone is, the less you know about him or her. There are some people of influence whose names most of us have never heard, and about whom we know almost nothing, yet they make decisions that affect millions of lives.

Enoch is a Biblical character about whom we know hardly anything besides his age and genealogy; but we do know this – that Enoch walked with God – and then God took him. What an example! Is there anything greater that can be said about someone than that he walked with God?

Enoch’s life was eternally distinguished by this one characteristic: his relationship with the Lord. He somehow maintained a degree of divine fellowship that was so pleasing to God that He just transformed his earthly body and took him to glory without ever experiencing death, and this was long before the Holy Spirit was poured out on all flesh.

This should be the secret of the life of every believer – walking with Him. Every truly born again child of God can walk with the living God through His constantly indwelling presence.

The simplicity of this truth cannot be overstated. The Lord Himself told Martha, “One thing is necessary” – intimacy with Him; a conscious choice to walk with God. We are all guaranteed the resurrection that Enoch experienced because Jesus walked with God and totally pleased Him. And we have the choice to follow His example of intimacy just as Enoch did.

“You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy.” Revelation 3:4
