In Genesis 5 we meet a man named Enoch who lived to be 365 and is most known for “walking with God.” All throughout the Bible we see the concept of walking when it comes to our faith. In the New Testament we're told to walk by the spirit; to walk by faith; and to walk worthy of our calling. The key to living a vibrant, powerful, effective Christian life is just that – walking with God. What does walking necessitate? It happens when you take steps. A series of steps is what results in walking. To walk with God means that every step I take I'm focused on my relationship with God. Every thought I think I'm focused on my relationship with God. Every word I speak, I'm focused on my relationship with God. Every action I take I'm focused on my relationship with God. Every reaction I make, I'm focused on God. Today, instead of living their life walking step by step, Most Christians live their life Sunday by Sunday. They come to church on Sunday and they focus on God while at church. But then they don't focus on God again until next Sunday. Walking with God does not occur week by week. It doesn't even occur day by day or hour by hour. Walking with God occurs step by step.

That’s dedication! I was exhausted just reading that. For me, it’s usually decision by decision. I can pray He will put His words in my mouth and His thoughts in my head...my conscience seems good with that. I probably stumble a lot more. I’m sure He’ll pick me back up.
