Thi s 1 1n skeleton form. Each i to tudy and develop a talk from the topic. I. WALK WITH GOD. Genesi 5:24 'And Enoch walked with God and he wa not: for God took him. " Amos 3: 3 " an two walk together except they be agreed?" Develop the idea of being in agree– ment. . . Your friend and your elf walking home home from chool together. When there i a quarrel you walk alone. So we mu t be in agreement with God if we are to walk with Him. P aim 66: J 8 If I regard iniquity in my heart the Lord will not hear me. " Agree with God about in. Romans 3 :23. Agree with God about the way of alvation. Ephe ian 2: 8,9. Agree with God about Hi will for your life. I Cor. 6: 19 20. Thi i the way to have fellow hip with God. Some Bible illu tration to look up are Ruth and Naomi; David and J onothan and J e u and the two di c~ple on the way to Emmau . II. WALK BEFORE GOD. Gene i 17:1 "I am the Almighty God; walk before me and be thou perfect." The idea here is that of the upreme commander call ing forth hi ubordinate to parade before him for his in pection. . . "be thou perfect''. The barrack i in a whirl. The hoe hine kit are bu y. The bra i being poli hed . The trou er are pre ed to perfection. The gun ar cleaned and hining. The commander ha called for an in pection. The ergeant i nervou and har h. The drill practice n1u t develop perfect timing. So we walk before God.
