Walking With God
BETH MOORE

“Noah was a righteous man, blameless among his contemporaries; Noah walked with God.” Genesis 6:9b (CSB)

Have you ever noticed how we humans walk differently from one another? Take me, for example. I have a bit of a limp from tearing my right knee teaching aerobics a thousand years ago. A dear friend of mine is the peaceful sort who is never in a hurry. She walks with all the haste of a tablespoon of molasses rolling toward a biscuit.

Sometimes to our great frustration, walking with God also doesn’t look the same from season to season. Further, walking with God doesn’t always seem like forward advancement in our faith. A stretch of miles when God seems gloriously obvious can be followed by months of wondering where He’s gone.

But walking with God means attempting, however awkwardly and imperfectly, to keep in step with His rhythm and reason in any given season. One way we do this is in Bible reading.

Our walk with God isn’t preprogrammed. We may set out to read two chapters and find ourselves instead absorbed by a single passage or phrase. Other times, we may plan to take it nice and slow, only to get swept up in a fast-moving narrative for the next half hour. In either case, was the goal met?

That depends on whether our goal was to check the box on an exact length of Scripture reading or to engage with God in the reading. Yielding to the Spirit’s pace isn’t always obvious, but it is the most satisfying.

If we slip into “automatic” faith, we can walk for miles and months without any real involvement with God. Regimen exceeds engagement. Perhaps the simple phrase “walked with God,” used in reference to Enoch and Noah (Genesis 5:24; Genesis 6:9), holds a key to unlocking a better pace.

  • “Walking” speaks to consistency. (Pick up the feet. Put them down. Do it again.)
  • “With” reminds us that we’re not alone in this — Immanuel is God with us.
  • “God” in the opening of Genesis is the title associated most with the majestic Creator.

Might it help us to think along these lines? Walking with God blends consistency and creativity. It is a consistent journey with an immeasurably creative God.

Ask God to work supernaturally in your life through the Scriptures. Ask Him to open your eyes to see the wonders in His teachings and to open your mind to understand them.

Whatever you do, keep the words of God near the heart of God, where they belong. The Scriptures are living, breathing words given by the Holy Spirit and kept alive, vivified, by the selfsame Spirit in the hearts of humans with a fleck of faith.

The door to the world of the Bible is wide open to you. Come on in.

Heavenly Father, help us to experience Your nearness. Fill us with an otherworldly joy. Give us deeper insight into who You are and what direction we should take next to do Your will. Flood our anxious souls with Your peace, and help us understand how much we are loved and seen by You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
