Walking With Jesus
Walking with God: Lessons from Enoch's Journey
In Genesis 5, we find the remarkable story of Enoch, a man who walked so closely with God that he was ultimately translated directly to heaven without experiencing death. His example provides powerful lessons for how we can develop a deeper relationship with God today.
Who Was Enoch and Why Was He Special?
Enoch lived 365 years and was the father of Methuselah. What made him extraordinary wasn't any special dispensation or preordained destiny - it was simply his choice to walk with God daily. After becoming a father, Enoch realized the importance of his spiritual walk and committed to pursuing God wholeheartedly for 300 years.
What Does it Mean to "Walk with God"?
Walking with God means:
Taking repeated steps of faith
Being conversant with God
Making a daily choice to pursue relationship
Moving forward consistently, even if slowly
Allowing God to transform us into His likeness
How Can We Walk with God Today?
While we can't physically walk with Jesus like Enoch did, we can develop an intimate relationship with God through:
1. Reading the Bible Daily
- Set aside dedicated time, ideally early in the morning - Start with even just 5-15 minutes - Be consistent in showing up to meet with God
2. Studying Scripture Deeply
- Don't just read, but dig into the meaning - Use study tools and resources - Seek to truly understand God's Word
3. Journaling Your Journey
- Write down what God is teaching you - Record prayers and insights - Track your spiritual growth over time
4. Meditating on Truth
- Reflect deeply on Scripture - Consider how to apply it to your life - Allow God's Word to transform your thinking
Life Application
This week, commit to developing a more consistent walk with God by:
Setting aside a specific time each day to meet with Him
Starting a spiritual journal to record your journey
Using study tools to dig deeper into His Word
Ask yourself:
What practical steps can I take to prioritize time with God?
What obstacles need to be removed from my schedule?
How can I create accountability in maintaining this commitment?
Remember: You don't need special qualifications to walk with God - you just need to make the daily choice to pursue Him. Start today, take one step at a time, and watch how God transforms your life through consistent fellowship with Him.
