A Commitment To Walk

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

One thing that impresses me about my wife is her commitment to walk two to four times a week for at least an hour. Come rain, snow, sleet, or shine, my wife layers up or down (depending on the weather), puts on her headphones, and off she goes walking through our community.

My wife's commitment to walking reminds me of a man named Enoch. Genesis 5:18-24 is a short paragraph about his life, and it shines like a diamond amid the earthly record of deaths. In a storyline where the funeral bells tolled out their mournful drone ("and he died" is repeated eight times in the chapter", there is a ray of hope - Enoch walked with God.

What did it mean for Enoch to wak with God? It describes Enoch's close communion with God - as if literally walking by His side. Also, it refers to Enoch's unswerving obedience to God in a corrupt culture. God rewarded Enoch's faithfulness by taking him to heaven while he was still alive. Death would not have the final world in God's creation.

Enoch's walk with God reminds us that it is impossible for all of us to enjoy intimate communion with the Lord. Let's commit ourselves to walking faithfully with Him every day. - Marvin Williams

He walks with me, and He talks with me,

And He tells me I am His own;

And the joy we share as we tarry there

None other has ever known. - Miles

You're headed in the right direction when you walk with God.

Due to financial problem, I am not encourage to go church so frequently... as for her it is just a place to 'use' money... what for to go for such place that could not 'get' money...

I understand she just want to keep our money for some other "neccessary" stuffs... yet we are not looking at the situation from the same condition... well, she is not a Christian...

Anyway, I will try my best to have my time in church... I didn't go anywhere shopping mall or what so ever... I am just inside the church... well, maybe going to the Asia City for food... but that is just a while... I didn't hang around there...

Somemore I strongly believe that once I didn't go church to get the connection with God, my condition will only turn worse... alright, at first may be I will feel better for financial if I didn't go church, but that will not last long...

Therefore, never ever try to have such a mind to stop going God's house...
