By Faith Enoch Walked With God Pleasing Him

There can be something profoundly personal about walking with someone. Think about it, especially in the context of our Western culture. If I told you I regularly go for walks with my wife and family, none of you would think twice about it. If anything, you might think that’s good, healthy, and sweet. But if I told you that, once in a while, Derek, our worship director, and I go for casual strolls together, you might think that’s a little odd. Some might argue it shouldn’t be, but for most of us, that’s our perception.

In some cultures, it’s customary for people to link arms or hold hands while walking, even when a man walks with another man. It isn’t romantic in any way; it simply communicates closeness and companionship between the two people.

This is interesting because Scripture uses the picture of walking to describe the kind of relationship we have with God. So, when it says that “Enoch walked with God” we automatically understand this isn’t referring to the places they went together, but to the close and intimate relationship they had. Enoch didn’t just know about God; he knew him deeply and personally. His life was changed because of this, and ours can be too.

So, as we continue our series in Hebrews 11, we’ll consider our own walk with God and ask ourselves: Do we pursue him in everything? Do we live in a way that pleases him? Do we point others back to him?
