Reflections on the Presence of God: Part 1--Enoch

Enoch walked with God.~Moses
For 300 years, Enoch lived with an intimate connection to God.  They agreed to be together and to focus on the same goal:  The Pleasure of God. 
As it is written,
“How can two walk together unless they agree?”
“Enoch had this testimony, that he pleased God.”
Enoch agreed with God, so God agreed with Enoch. 
He agreed that God is who He is, that He "rewards those who diligently seek Him."  He agreed that God is perfectly trustworthy, trusting God as God trusted Himself. 
I want to walk with God exactly like Enoch did.  To live intimately with Him for the rest of my life just as Enoch did for the rest of his life…for 300 years of his life!
He was (and is) a man just like me.  Though he had a longer life span, he didn’t have a different spirit.  He was made in God’s image and likeness like me.  He was born into sinful humanity, just like me.  He has no advantage over me.  The same faith that pleased God with Enoch pleases God with me. 
I believe in God.
I am a son of God, with whom God is well pleased.
Therefore, I too, walk with God.
This is my life, both now and forever.
