enoch walked with God


I love this.....
been saving it for just the right time.

"Enoch walked with God 
because he was His friend and he liked His company, 
because he was going in the same direction as God, 
and had no desire for anything 
but what lay in God's path.

We walk with God when He is in all our thoughts, 
not because we consciously think of Him at all times,
 but because He is naturally suggested to us 
by all that we think.

As when any person or plan or idea has become important to us,  
no matter what we think of,
our thought is always found recurring to this favorite object,
so with the godly man,
 everything has a connection with God 
and must be ruled by that 
connection.

When he falls into sin,
 he cannot rest until he has resumed his place at God's side 
and walks with Him again.

This is the general nature of walking with God.....

 A persistent endeavor 
to hold our life open to God's inspection 
and in conformity to His will.

A readiness to give up
 what we find does cause any misunderstanding 
between us and God.

A feeling of loneliness
 if we have not some satisfaction in our efforts 
at holding fellowship with God.

A cold and desolate feeling 
when we are conscious 
of doing something that displeases Him."
Todd Bolen

{Getting to the place in your life where,
  when you are not walking with God,
you are absolutely miserable
and cannot wait another moment
to be walking by His side again.

Grace He gives,
grace upon grace 
to us wayward sinner children of His 
that He loves so much.}
