I walk with God

Today’s Scripture: Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him. Genesis 5:24 ESV

 

Yesterday I was challenged by my pastor during worship. I am challenged today by faith.

 

I have recently worked through the first 45 chapters of Genesis and yet here was a critical message of Enoch back in chapter five lost in all the “begats”. Enoch walked with God. Yes, that is a period after that statement. After review I found that I wrote an affirmation over two years ago that stated “I desire to walk with God.”

 

I have learned that walking with God takes faith and not desire.

 

Desire presents a future hope, a future walk. Faith allows us to walk NOW, today. Enoch and Noah didn’t desire to walk with God, they did. I boldly proclaim today that I walk with God. Only God and complete faith in Him makes this happen. In faith and in walking with God we experience His pleasure.

 

Will you walk with God today?

 

Today’s Prayer: Father God I believe in You. I have faith in You over all things. Thank You for Your Word. Thank You for Your teachers that draw Your Word out to us. Thank You for Your servants who walked with you and showed us the way.

LORD, I walk with You. I trust You in this walk and do not lean on my understanding or my desires. I walk with You. Amen
