“WALKING with the Lord...”(December 20,2021)
Did you know that the average pair of feet take around 7,500 a day? That means that in a lifetime, you will walk approximately 115,000 miles. The first man to walk around the world was a man by the name of David Kunst of Waseca, Minnesota. He completed his historic walk on October 5, 1974, after walking 15,000 miles. The trip required four and one-half years, during which time David went through 22 pairs of shoes.

Stop your busy life for moment and think back through the years about "WALKING" with someone you loved! As a child remember holding hands with someone as you walked in the warm sunshine exploring new territory. Depending upon who you were with you were either full of confidence or nervous what was in the coming shadows. Soon you either fed off or feed the other person according to who had the most influence!
I remember being with 2 or 3 other kids on my grandpa's land and feeling in charge because He had given me authority on his land! There is no uncertainty because you know where you are at and where you are going, simply you know the rules! You have authority! Well, consider today if you are a child of God, you can "WALK WITH HIM" each and every day! Let's build our faith from the Old and the New Testament:
*Psalms 24:1-2 (KJV) THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND THE FULNESS THEREOF; THE WORLD, AND THEY THAT DWELL THEREIN. 2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
2nd Witness:
*1 Corinthians 10:26 (KJV) For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
But as great as that is with our good Father it only gets better, He has gifts for us:
*Psalms 115:16 (KJV) The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: BUT THE EARTH HATH HE GIVEN TO THE CHILDREN OF MEN.
How wonderful we can "WALK" in that confidence and assurance on this earth that our Father has gave to us just like I did my grandpa's as a child but even to a greater degree! Let's look at the beginning how even after sin entered the world that a man "WALKED" with God leaving a living testimony"
*Genesis 5:21-24 (KJV) And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: 22 And Enoch “WALKED” with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: 24 And "ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD": and he was not; for God took him.
Now if Enoch could "WALKED WITH GOD" in all that evil of the day that brought on the flood in Noah's time how much more can we today in the dispensation of GRACE. This is an amazing statement. This verse tells us that Enoch did not taste death. God just took him. In other words, he didn’t even die, he was just translated to heaven with God. So, who is the oldest man who is still alive? It is Enoch. He still hasn’t died. If you trace history back to Adam, that is approximately 6000 years. Enoch was born when Adam was 622 years old. That makes Enoch approximately 5400 years Understand Enoch's "WALK WITH GOD" was a testimony that survives even till now:
