Genesis 5:24 "And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him."
Enoch was the first man whom the Holy Spirit singled out as one who had walked with God during his mortal life on earth. Enoch loved to walk with God and God loved to walk with him. So much that God decided to bring him up to heaven in the body. What does walking with God really means? The bible didn't illustrate much how Enoch walked with God but another man Noah, the bible elaborate with more details.
Genesis 6:9 "Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God."
A just man means that Noah was right with God in the vertical relationship. Noah was also perfect in his generations, that tells us of his reputation with others in his generation. Apparently, walking with God means a right relationship with God and mature in dealing with others.
"Father we pray that we have this desire to be like Noah and Enoch who walked right with You in their generations. Let us experience that intimacy with You like what they have experienced with You. Amen."
