read this simple
biogruphy, “Knoeh
wulked with GinJ
and he wus not,
for God took lihn."
How startling Is this Invasion of
life's order! We cannot understand
It. We have no precedents in our lit-
tle world to help us. Nothing hut
fuiierul bells tolling mournful proces-
sions, blow ly wending tin Ir way to
the appointed place, und u precious
mound left in God's acre us a me-
morial to those whu huve lived, and
loved—and gone.
lint ft was Just as miraculous In
the days when Knoeh lived as now,
for we read tills sorrowful story of
mull's day—"He lived"—"He begat
.Mins and duugliters"—"He died."
This is the story, until we ure star-
tled witli an interruption. Here is a
new epitaph, “Enoch walked with G<al,
ami was not, for God tmik him." Ho
did not see deutli. Instead of the de-
scent Into the grave, he went the
ascent unto God. Whut a reward l
Not to see deutli, (hut lust dread en-
emy. Such wus Enoch's experience.
Whut for? Rend tlie simple line that
records tils exploits—"he wulkcd with
God." Well, wlittt is there In that to
earn distinction? Just this. Enoch
dared to do the unusual—to walk with
God when the whole world wus walk-
ing from God. That was u heroic
venture; to tie different from all the
rest meant courage. "By fuith Enoch
walked with God."
The whole content of our inquiry
centers in the phrase, "walked with
God.” What does that mean? It Is a
very simple act to walk with one an-
otlier, but to walk with God—that is
different.
It meant companionship w,<b God.
Enoch went where God went, never
the opposite. God chose the puth and
Enoch followed.
A funner deacon of mine hud a
yoke of twin oxen, exactly alike—al-
ways together—Inseparable, hut lie
told me one always stepped off tlrst—
led the way. God always leads. There
can be no walk except we follow Him.
To walk with God meant to talk
with Him. This we call COMMUNION.
Talk and walk always go together.
But It is a peculiar kind of tins;
strangely personal—sweetly cnnthlen-
tlnl. Why? Because of the iilone-
ticss; others ore shut out. Many a
home of love and happiness begun lu
a walk. The walk belongs to lovers.
Who can love and not talk about It?
God waits und longs to have us tell
Him that we love him.
To walk with God meant to talk
about God. Jude says, “Enoch
prophesied” which menus "lie talked
about." Tills is the Inevitable of u
walk—to talk iiliout the one you have
walked witli, for discoveries arc iiintle,
confidences are given, mysteries are
explained. But. oh. think of the ac-
cumulating wealth treasured up in a
walk with God. And it is so nuturnl
to talk about God if we wulk with
Him,
Now read the simple circumstance
of Enoch's walk; “lie begat sons and
daughters." In the midst of the daily
routine of bread winning—the prob-
lems of bringing up the children—the
delicate relations with friends anti
neighbors—“Enoch walked with God.”
Sc can we. The same old trail ean be
pressed by our feet, und the smile,
beautiful wulk ami communion may
tie ours.
Enoch wus DOUBLY rewarded—he
pleased God. God told him so. lie
saw the sunlit face of God. He caught
the overflowing Joy from the heart of
God. He lived in n garden of delights.
The gates of puradise welcomed hint
to the old trysting place "under the
tree of life.”
Oh, think of all this—pleasing God.
So cun we. Tlie path Is here. Enoch's
Companion waits. Will you go walk-
ing with God? He was translated. Wo
may lie. Enoch's reward was to lie
shared with a generation. The apostle
I*tiul startles ns with tie betrayal of
a secret, “We shall not nil sleep." inti
"wo wlio are alive anil remain shall
be caught up to lie with the Lord."
This is the promt ed translation of
some. Oh. let us walk with God. It
may he that the end of our walk Gmll
lie the open door nf heaven admitting
us to glory. Ii iiinv ho today? oh, cun
you suy you are ready?
