He
hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what cloth the
Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with thy God." Micah 6 :8. The
life of Enoch is descriptive of the Christian's life, and
it is said that he "walked with God." Hand in
hand with God, heart in heart, and life in life, is the
true Christian way. In order to walk thus with God, we
must be in agreement with Him; for two can not walk
together heart in heart unless they be in agreement. To be
agreed with God implies submission to the divine will. It
is to go where He leads.
"He leadeth me" is the
sentiment of the Christian heart. He may sometimes lead in
a laborious path; nevertheless we go. He may lead in a way
that brings suffering and self denial; he may take our
loved ones from us; he may call somebody dear to us to a
foreign field, or He may call us. If we would walk with
Him, we must not draw back, but say, "Lord, thy will
be done. I will go with thee all the way." Such a
walk may lead over some thorny paths and through some
waters and fiery trials, but it pleases God and ends in
heaven. So onward let us go.
