… in Genesis chapter five, one of the early patriarchs was a guy named Enoch. And it says, and Enoch walked with God. Remember that Enoch walked with God and he was not for God took him. So I like that Enoch walked with God. Enoch moved in the same direction that God was moving. it's not like God walk with me I'm going to walk with you Lord what direction are you going let me find that rhythm and go there Enoch walked with God and that is a way of saying he pursued God because Enoch becomes the example in the book of Hebrews when the writer says God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him it uses then the example of Enoch who walked with God there's a guy who sought the Lord, who pursued the Lord. I think that the best word to capture this whole enterprise of daily devotions or quiet time is a word that Jesus himself used in the gospel of John, a word you're familiar with, I trust, the word abide. Abide. Jesus said this, I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him bears much fruit for without me, you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered and they gather them and throw them into the fire and they are burned. If you abide in me and my words abide in you.

… concerning that man Enoch, Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for the Lord took him. Enoch walked with God and he was not for the Lord took him. He just took him off the earth, took him directly into glory. Now there's a commentary on Enoch. You don't have to turn there, but let me read this to you. This is out of Hebrews chapter 11. By faith, Enoch was translated. You might translate that raptured. Same difference. Enoch was translated so that he did not see death and was not found because God translated him. For before his translation, he had this testimony that he pleased God. Now follow my thinking. Enoch walked with God. Enoch pleased God. And God took Enoch to heaven. he's going to tell the Thessalonians walk with God please the Lord and he will take you translate you to heaven at his coming so my theory is that he has in his mind this man Enoch who walked with God and lived to please God and he says to the Thessalonians okay we were with you We taught you this. Abound more and more. Walk with the Lord. Please the Lord. Live your life to please the Lord, and then you'll be taken by the Lord. …
The text tells us that all things were created by Christ and for Him, so we will, first, consider Paul's statement. And, secondly, we will review the rejections arising from it. I. First, then, let us CONSIDER PAUL'S STATEMENT—"All things were created by Him and for Him." So, first of all, Heaven, itself was created by and for Christ Jesus. Then there is such a place, as well as such a state, and of that place Jesus is the center! There is such a place, for Enoch is there. "Enoch walked with God: and he was not, for God took him." God took him bodily to some place—and that place is Heaven. Elijah is also there—the horses of fire and the chariots of fire took not merely his spirit, but the entire Elijah—and he is in Heaven. Our Lord Jesus Christ, who has gone back to Heaven, went there in His own body. When He passed into the skies, He went up into the heavenly places, as well as into the heavenly state—and there He lives at the right hand of God, even the Father, enthroned in the New Jerusalem, the Holy City of God— "See how the Conqueror mounts aloft, And to His Father flies! …
