Enoch and Mary: The Call of Intimacy with God

Enoch walked with God; then he was not there because God took him. 
Genesis 5:24  HCSB

She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s feet and was listening to what He said. 
Luke 10:39

 

One man lived for one purpose:  to walk intimately with God.

One woman lived for one purpose:  to sit intimately at the Lord’s feet, listening to him.

This man and this woman pleased the Lord and are remembered for their single minded purpose.

I live for the same purpose for which they lived:  intimacy with God.
I go wherever the Spirit of Christ leads, and  when He sits, I sit at his feet and listen.

That’s it.

Until the Lord comes, He will find me doing these two things: 

1. Walking with him. 
2. Sitting with him.

Simply put:  I exist to be with Him, wherever He is.

In some ways this is easy. 
In other ways I expect adversity.

It’s easy because the Lord is the easiest person to be with. 

But even if He walks in places that are filled with those who hate Him, I am with Him.  Even if He sits where His enemies wait to trap Him in His words, again, I am with Him.  Ultimately they are against Him and not me.  If they are against me, it’s because I’m with Him.

So be it. 

It is the highest honor just to be associated with Him.  For people to take note that I am with the Lord.  For them to know and see that the Lord is with me.
