Walking With God.

By Bonar

Two men in Scripture are said to have walked with God—Enoch and Noah; and the one was carried up that he should not see death, the other was carried over the waves of the flood. They walked by faith. All the different parts of man's natural life and movements are used by the Spirit to symbolize the spiritual. “My foot standeth in an even place.” “I will not sit with the wicked.” “I will lay me down in peace.” “Run with patience the race set before you.” I have leapt over a wall.” “These are exceptional movements: the regular movement of a man's daily life is his walking. His whole life, in all its movements, small and great, are comprehended in this.

In walking in Christ these four things are included:—

Reconciliation.
Abiding.
Fellowship.
Obedience.

This walk on earth is through storms and trials; but there is another walk when this is ended; and when the Lord comes “they shall walk with me in white”—the walk of peace, and triumph, and glory—when the Lamb shall lead us to the living fountains of waters, and God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes.—Bonar.
