Walking With God Then and Now

I was reading in Genesis 5 today, where it tells us twice that Enoch walked with God, and in v. 24 says, "And Enoch walked with God; and he was not for God took him." I remember hearing or reading that at the end of the day, after walking together, Enoch was closer to God's house than his own, so God extended the invitation for him to stay. That is a very wonderful and attractive picture, is it not? Another writer has worded it that Enoch and God were in constant touch with each other. Is that not both a possibility and joy for us, that we can remain in constant touch with our God...today, tomorrow and throughout eternity. It is a great realization to know that what was true of Enoch can be exactly true for every believer. Are you staying in regular or constant touch with the Father?

On a medical note, this next week, Tuesday will be a significant day. Blood work will be done to gauge the level of bilirubin and other liver enzymes and shortly thereafter I will have an MRI of the brain. Sometimes I feel selfish in asking for your continued prayers, yet just knowing that you bring my name before the throne of grace is comforting. We are enjoying these days back at work and with our girls.

Please do not hesitate to ask for prayer. When part of the body of Christ suffers, the rest of the body feels the pain and desires the whole body to be healed. We continue to press on and believe for healing in all areas of your body. We also believe that you will receive a good report this week from the doctors. Let us take turns being as Aaron and Hur, who held up the hands of Moses until the battle was won.

Pastor Chris and Eunice,
Well it is not a problem to ask for prayer! I will continue to pray for you all of the time. I am so glad that you are back in town. I loved the feeling of getting to see you and hug both of you when you came back! I hope that everything turns out ok and that you get well soon! Thanks for being great friends and for everything!
In His Holy name,
