Walk “ with, before & after “
Gen 5:22 Enoch walked with God
Gen17:1 Walk before me
Deut13:14 Walk after the Lord
Instead of aimless wandering God must be brought into life somehow. And in some aspect.
We should ‘walk with Him,’ like Enoch; we should ‘walk before’ Him, as Abraham was bade to do; and we should ‘walk after’ Him, as the command to do was given to all Israel. And these three prepositions, with, before, after, attached to the general idea of life as a walk, give us a triple aspect-which yet is, of course, fundamentally, one-of the way in which life may be focussed, and concentrated by the various relations into which we enter with Him.
1. ‘Enoch walked with God
This is communion with God . We can grasp him , hold his hand , hear his voice . We know he is there . Enoch and God walked together by the simple exercise of Faith with the invisible one. By a continued effort as we go through the daily hustle of life . In the midst of perplexities , conscious or subconscious God is there by our side and our walk is closer than ever .Enoch ‘walked with God,’ and, of course, ‘God took him,’ There was nothing else for it, and there could be no other end, for a life of communion with God here has in it the prophecy and the pledge of a life of eternal union hereafter. So, then, ‘practise the presence of God.’ An old mystic says: ‘If I can tell how many times to-day I have thought about God, I have not thought about Him often enough.’ Walk with Him by faith, by effort, by purity
