Today’s Devotional: “Take a Walk with God”

If you want to know what pleases God, take a walk with Him. This was Enoch’s testimony.

“And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” (Genesis 5:24)

“By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, ‘and was not found, because God had taken him;’ for before he was taken, he had this testimony, that he pleased God.” (Hebrews 11:5)

To walk with God means more than merely taking a physical walk. Rather, walking with God is a way of life. It affects every area of our lives, beginning at the very center of our being and spreading outward, touching every fiber of who we are.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2)

The problem today, and the reason we don’t have this sort of testimony like Enoch’s, is that we try to walk with both the world and Jesus.

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14)

And because of this, we have compromised our faith to the point that it is no longer pleasing to the Lord (Hebrews 11:6).

Instead, we need to understand that we have been bought with a price, the blood of Jesus Christ. Therefore, we are to glorify God in both body and spirit, and we are no longer to be slaves to this world but bondservants of God (1 Corinthians 6:20; 7:23).

Begin a brand-new walk with the Lord today by praying, reading the Bible, allowing His word to take root in you, attending a Bible study, and going to church. You will not only begin to know what pleases God, but you will also be pleasing to God.
