The Walk

 Last night as my mind began to wonder, as it frequently does, I thought about the word "walk". As I did, I began to think about walking with God and my walk with Him. Then out of the blue the Holy Spirit placed in my mind about Enoch. He spoke to me "And Enoch walked with God and was no more." (Genesis 5:24 Amp) What would it be like if we walked with God as closely as Enoch did? Imagin...e the fellowship with our Lord. Imagine the revival spirit that would flow through us.

However, lets take a little closer look at Enoch. Enoch lived during a time that sin was increasing and people were turning from their creator. He was one who loved God more than anyone during his time and likely ours too. Truely, he walked the walk and talked the talk. In Genesis, it says that Enoch walked with God and was no more. Our walk with God should be exactly the same way, we should be no more. I am not saying that we will be swept up by the Lord as Enoch was, but I am saying that we should be taking on the attributes of Christ. Paul told the church in Corinth that when one chooses to follow Jesus, "the old is gone, the new is here." (2 Corth 5:17 NIV) The old us should be no more just as Enoch was no more. You see, when we decide to follow Jesus we should be letting go of our old life and surrendering it all to Him with nothing held back. We must be willing to walk the walk just as Enoch did.

So, tonight I have to ask you, are you holding on to a small part of the old you? Are you holding part back from Him? Let it go, let it go! Give it all in surrender to Jesus and start today walking with God as Enoch did and be no more.
