ALL THE WAY

READING: GENESIS 5:18-24

Verse 24: “And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.”

In the verse above we learn that Enoch didn’t die, but that he passed directly into eternity with God. Upon digesting that, a person might say “What a way to go!” However, here is what a little girl was heard to say. She remarked that Enoch walked so far with God, that he could no longer find his way back. That little girl’s statement provides us with a worthy aspiration. As we engage in our individual walks with God, how far do we go? Maybe we should adopt the goal of getting to a point of no return. We can seek to arrive at relationships with the Lord Jesus that completely leave former things behind. The windshield of a car is a great deal larger than the rear view mirror. This fact can be said to represent the higher priority of what is before us, and our need to focus in that direction. However, our challenge doesn’t end with that. Upon obtaining that forward directed focus, how far are we willing to go? Will we be motivated and shaped by Enoch’s example? Are we willing to ask the Lord to take us all the way? That’s a thought - about God’s Word
