A Walk Pleasing To God

Genesis 5:24 " And E'noch walked with God: and he was not for God took him.


We have embarked upon a life long journey. We travel up the narrow road paved solely with the promises of God. Having put our hand to this plough we are unable to turn back and look with regret at the life we have been called from. We have an enemy who is looking to trip us up along the way. The tempter who's whole purpose is to cause us to stumble and fall that our walk won't be pleasing to God.

E'noch walked with God 300 years. His walk was His testimony and it was pleasing to God. The word of God says how can two walk together unless they agree, so to have a walk pleasing to God,  we must walk with God. I don't mean take God where we go, but to go where God leads us. We must also agree with God. Not God agreeing with us , but we must be in agreement with God. We must agree with all that His word says even if it hurts. We must agree that His ways are not our ways, agree that His way is the only way, agree that He Is absolutely always in control, and agree that there are times when we need to be corrected and God can use who and what He wants to correct us. We must like E'noch trust in God and not doubt and walk knowing that He is the way we should go, the truth we are to seek, and the life everlasting we all are striving to inherit.

Many on this journey feel it Is about us and what we do. We tend to believe we can serve and worship God anyway we want and He is happy because we say we are worshipping Him and praising Him. There is more to praising God than a hand clap, and more to worshipping Him than coming to church. Too really give God the highest praise is to live a life before Him that leads lost souls to seek Him. To truly worship Him is to surrender all to Him for Him and to lay down your life that another might live. No not to literally die but to deny yourself for the sake of  the salvation for a lost soul.
