A walk through the Word is safety.

“And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” Gen. 5:24.
The Bible contains several accounts of People who were said to walk with God. Walking with God commenced with Enoch but didn’t end with him. He walked so much with the Lord until he was caught up into heaven. Walking with God is not an activity reserved for a select few. God desires all of His children to walk with Him. What happens when we walk with someone? Imagine that you and a close friend are enjoying a walk down a country lane. You are in close proximity. You talk, laugh, listen, and share your hearts. Your attention is focused on this person to the exclusion of almost everything else.
Keep your eyes on the Cross.
Walking with God is like that. When we enter into an intimate heart relationship with God through faith in His Son. He becomes our heart’s greatest desire. Knowing Him, hearing His voice, sharing our hearts with Him, and seeking to please Him becomes our all-consuming focus. He becomes everything to us. Meeting with Him is not an activity reserved for Sunday morning. We live to fellowship with Him. Pastor A. W. Tozer states that the goal of every Christian should be to “live in a state of unbroken worship and fellowship with the Lord.” This is only possible if you choose to we walk with the Lord.
Just as walking with a close friend requires saying “no” to many other things, so walking with God requires letting go of anything that would be a distraction. If you were on a walk with a friend, and along the way you brought out a Walkman with a loud music, you play it and listen to it. You can be sure it will become a distraction to the conversation you want to have. The walk would not be satisfying for either of you. Many people attempt to walk with God, but they bring along certain distractions. Like habits, sins, worldliness or unhealthy relationships etc. This is not good for you. Make up your mind never to allow anything come between you and God, selah!
