Friends with God

And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. Gen 5:24

This past week I realised how many “Facebook friends” Sandra and I have. I say “Facebook friends” because I am realising how many people we are friends with on Facebook that I don’t even know, and I wonder how well do they know me? If I didn’t have any family pictures would they know how many kids I have, do these Facebook friends know what kind of stuff I enjoy doing, what authors I enjoy?

Then I thought about my friendship with God, how well do I know Him, do I know what pleases and displeases Him. The remarkable thing about the Christian faith is that God calls us His friend. What kind of friend are you? Is God an intimate part of your life? If we could ask God what kind of friend you are, would He call you merely a Facebook friend?

Enoch was a close, intimate friend with God, he walked with God, and he was not. Let’s like Enoch seek and walk with God, let’s press into this friendship and be the kind of friend that we all look for in friends.
