The most discussed points about Enoch's life are the questions about how God took him, where and when, and did he really die or not? These may be the most discussed questions, but perhaps some more important questions are: How did Enoch walk with God? and How can we walk with God in the same way as Enoch?
About Enoch's life we read this: "When Enoch had lived sixty five years, he became the father of Methuselah. And after he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether Enoch lived 365 years. Enoch walked with God, then he was no more, because God took him away." (Genesis 5 v 21 - 24)
The man characteristic of Enoch's life was that he walked with God. What does that mean?
When I go walking with Sharon, we walk together. We hold hands, and as we walk we share intimate conversation together. There is nothing selfish about walking side by side. It is a fellowship thing. Walking together means keeping in step with one another, agreeing together, listening to each other and becoming closer friends for the experience. To do this we need to have time together, time free of other distractions.
So let us make time, as Enoch did, to walk with God. And as we spend time with him let's not only talk, but listen. Allow intimacy to happen, keeping in step with God our Father.
