Title: Walk With God
Memorize: And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. Genesis 5:24 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Psalms 34:12-14 (Nkjv)
[12] Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good?
[13] Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit.
[14] Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.
Message:
Enoch is a powerful example of someone who communed continually with God and was really intimate with Him.
While his specific prayers were not recorded in the Scriptures, a deep, ongoing relationship with the Lord marked his entire existence. Enoch’s walk with God was so close that God took him to heaven; he did not experience death.
This can be likened to the upcoming event called rapture, where Christians who are alive will not die but be caught up in the sky to meet the Lord at His second coming.
For you to become God’s favorite, you can learn a lot from Enoch’s life. You can learn that consistent prayer and fellowship with God are essential for you to grow spiritually.
You should prioritize your relationship with God above all else, striving for intimacy and deeper communion with Him daily.
My dear child, Enoch’s ultimate translation to glory shows the rewards of faithful devotion and obedience to God. This should inspire you to pursue a similar depth of relationship with your Creator.
Reflection:
How intimate are you with God?
HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
1 When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2 Not a burden we bear,
not a sorrow we share,
but our toil he doth richly repay;
not a grief or a loss,
not a frown or a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey.
[Refrain]
3 But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey.
[Refrain]
4 Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we’ll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go;
never fear, only trust and obey.
[Refrain]
