SPEAKING OF SPIRITUAL LIFE
When we speak of "spiritual life" we are referring to that life of God-awareness, as contrasted with physical and carnal-awareness. It concerns worship; devotion; growth and maturity; trials; peace and joy; communion; holiness; charity; the Lord's glory, and praise, etc. If one is alive unto God by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, that one may be full of faith and devotion to Christ, moderately faithful, or shallow in faith. It is all about faith and maturity for a child of God, and we hope faithful readers will learn to live closer to the Lord and enjoy communion with Him.

The Secret Of Walking With God
(Genesis 5:24)
"Enoch walked with God"---
No other mortal ever trod
So bright a path, with such a Friend
To such radiant, hallowed end.
We are not told the weary years,
The heartbreaks, maybe, and the tears,
But just - he walked with God.
And Enoch's path led home,
Not aimlessly to drift and roam,
To lose the way in mists of doubt,
Or pause to try earth's pleasures out;
But then, as now, one course to take
And every lesser goal forsake,
And just walk home with God.
Together day by day,
And step with step, they walked that way;
No feverish rushing to and fro,
Or with reluctant feet, and slow
To drag behind; --why should it be
So hard to travel patiently
And just keep step with God?
And Enoch's faith pleased God.
Through all the years the path they trod
Was made a fragrant, lovely place
By sweet communion, face to Face;
Why have we never time to spend
In fellowship with such a Friend
And just to talk with God?
But we---what fools we are,
We follow slowly from afar;
We stumble blindly through the night,
We miss the fellowship, the light;
So slow to learn, as learn we must
That all we need to do is trust,
And just to walk with God.
