He Walks with Me

As a child and even now as an adult one Bible story that always captivated me was the story of Enoch. He does not get much attention in the Bible but what is said about him is profound. Here is what is said "21 Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah. 22 After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. 23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. (Genesis 5:21-24)Yes it is amazing that he lived for as long as he did. But what always captivated me was that he never died. God took him, Enoch did not know the pain of death, he was never found because God took his whole body. For 300 hundred years Enoch walked with God and built a friendship that the creator of the world enjoyed so much that He spared Enoch the pain of death. One reason I think that this relationship was so successful was because Enoch walk with God in humility. 300 years wow! The talks they must have had and the loved that must have been shared between them. When was the last time you walked with God along life’s narrow ways? When was the last time you had humility before Him.
