WALKING WITH GOD I
Memorise: And Enoch walked with God: and he was
not; for God took him. Genesis 5:24
Read: Deuteronomy 5:30-33, 30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
31 But as
for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments,
and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may
do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
32 Ye
shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your
God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the
left.
33 Ye
shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your
God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and
that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
Bible in one
year: Deuteronomy 25:5-27:26, Job 7:7-21
MESSAGE!!!
Walking with God can
be highly rewarding if we can pay the price. The price, however, is very easy
if we are humble-hearted, after all Jesus said: “For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light.”
In our Bible reading
of today, we are confronted
with what it takes to walk with God. Walking with
God takes complete obedience to His Word. Failure to do this brought calamity
upon the human race in the Garden of Eden. The Bible says:
“And the Lord God
commanded the man, saying of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:
for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”
Genesis 2:16-17
The first man and
woman listened to the devil, who deceived them by telling them that God’s word
was a lie. He persuaded them to eat the forbidden fruit, and as a result, they
bungled their walk with God and God’s presence began to frighten them.
“And when the woman
saw that the tree was good for good, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and
a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did
eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”
Genesis 3:6
This is exactly what
is still happening today. People find it difficult to live by the words of the
Holy Scriptures because they feel it is out-dated. Some theologians are already
saying that the ideals of Christ in the gospels are no longer relevant or
tenable in the 21st century! These only remind me of what God said
concerning His Word and concerning the latter days; Jesus said:
“For verily I say unto
you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass
from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of
these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least
in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall
be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:18-19
Beloved, walking with
God is a command that doesn’t just please God but also benefits us greatly. The
Bible says:
“… that ye may live,
and that it may be well you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land
which ye shall possess.” Deuteronomy 5:33
Prayer Point
Father, please help me to walk You in complete
obedience to Your Word.
