Walk With Him

From the very beginning, God has delighted in walking with His people.

In the Garden of Eden, He walked daily with Adam and Eve. It was in that sacred rhythm of closeness that they lived fully and freely—until sin entered the story. For the first time, they ran from God. And ever since, whenever we choose to run ahead of God, fall behind Him, or run from Him - whenever we choose to create distance - the result is the same: confusion, heartache, and consequences that were never part of His intent.

God often describes Himself as a Shepherd. A shepherd leads gently, firmly, consistently, and closely. The sheep follow because they know their Shepherd’s voice. Do you know His voice?

Noah did. Scripture tells us that Noah “walked faithfully with God.” But that walk didn’t necessarily happen on sunlit paths or in peaceful meadows—it took place in the shadows of a world steeped in violence, corruption, and decay. Imagine the daily weight of that: waking up each morning surrounded by sneering faces, twisted hearts, weapons in hand, and voices dripping with mockery. Yet Noah kept walking, step by determined step, in rhythm with his Creator.

Fear must have clawed at the edges of his resolve. Doubt surely whispered in the silence—urging him to rush ahead, to abandon the path, or to lag behind where it felt safer. But he didn’t.

Can you imagine the isolation that would have gripped his family? The aching loneliness of being the only ones who still believed? Everyone outside their door consumed by hatred, drunk on wickedness, their laughter and war trumpets echoing like a taunt in the distance. Banging at their door.

And yet, 2 Peter calls Noah a “preacher of righteousness.” That wasn’t just a title—it was a calling that was walked out in grit and grief. With every nail driven into the ark, every warning spoken into deaf ears, Noah was crying out for repentance. For a hundred years, he worked and waited. A hundred years of rejection, scorn from others, and silence from heaven. Still, he built. Still, he preached. Still, he walked with God.

Because in those painful decades, Noah learned something unshakable: that God is enough. That even when the sky is clear and the ground is dry, God’s promises are not a question mark—they’re a foundation solid enough to walk on.

This is the invitation for us: Walk with Him like Noah and His family did —step by step, day by day.

Not ahead of Him in impatience.

Not away from Him in fear.

Not behind Him in anxiety or apathy.

His presence and your sanctification is the reward.

God is - and has always been - ready to walk with you.
