Walk With God

God takes pleasure in us in each stage of our growth.  Too often I think of the great big perfect God expecting absolute perfection.  But there is a process that is necessary to get closer to that perfection. God is ok with the process.  Actually He is the One who set things up that way.

God goes through the process with us.  Or at least He wants to. We can only truly become all that He created us to be by learning to walk with Him and let Him be our guide through the process.

Adam and Eve walked with God and tended the garden God gave to them.  They were in process as was the garden they were to tend.  I believe as they walked with God they grew in the knowledge of God each day up until the time of the fall. They experienced God in ways we cannot even imagine at this point.  There are dimensions they experienced that were lost when they sinned.  But I believe we can recapture at least some of them as we learn to walk with God and live in the Spirit realm, getting more and more free from our earthly sinful nature.

Enoch walked with God until he no longer walked in this earth realm.  Adam would still have been alive when Enoch was born.  Perhaps Enoch learned from Adam what it was like to walk with God in the way that he had in the garden, and stepped into that.  What prevents us in this day from walking with God in that way as well???

Ephesians 2:10 ESV  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. 

Hebrews 11:5-6 ESV By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
