The Christian life is to be one that lives in God's power and direction every day. That seems to be a difficult challenge for most Christians. The world we live in pushes and pulls us to live at a frantic pace. Every day is filled with activity, running from here to there trying to keep up with all the world tells us we should want to do.

We often come to a point where we long to slow down and get out of the race -but it seems that we have been busy for so long - we don't know how to live any other way.

I believe the life we are longing for but do not know how to get there can be seen in Enoch. We are introduced to Enoch in Genesis 5:21-24
Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah. 22Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. 23So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

Enoch's life demonstrates a picture of a daily life with God: Enoch simply "walked with God".
Enoch's life is not marked by great works for God; he simply lived in God's presence. Day by day – He trusted God, He depended on God, He listened to God, He served God, He followed God – in a daily walk of faith.

So how do we do that? How do we take some small steps in that direction. Let em give 3 steps to a life of walking with God instead of racing a race we never win.
Slow down – if your life is set up like a race you will leave God out. God meets us when we slow down enough to look for Him and talk to Him

Eliminate activity that causes you to race without God: You have to take a look at the activities in your life that keep you racing and be willing to eliminate things that take you away from God. Caution the easiest thing to cut is not always the best choice.

Tune out so you can tune in: The daily noise of life keeps us distracted from walking with God. We have DVD, DVR, CD, DVD,TEVO, 3G, 4G, Text, Twitter, Facebook, Linked In, XM, FM, MP3, Ipod, Ipad, I phone and I give up. The world we live in is relentless in trying to keep us in sensory overload - is it any wonder we miss hearing God. To walk with God is to turn off all the stuff and tune our ears and eyes and hearts to Him.

That is walking with God in our daily life – when we expect to have Him show up throughout the day in many ways, and we set our life to be ready to meet Him throughout the day.
Enoch had it figured out - may we be more like Enoch and leave the race to nowhere.
