Psalms 116:9

Psalms 116:9. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

"I will not care who sees me so long as he sees me; I will court no presence but his presence, ‘I will walk before Jehovah.’" It is grand walking, under a constant sense of the Lord’s inspection, and a delightful consciousness of the Lord’s smile. This is like Enoch’s walk, and you know how it ends, for Enoch could not die for the life of him; he walked so near to God that he did not pass into heaven by the ordinary road: he "was not, for God took him." And we, too, though we may die as to these bodies, know that we shall never die as to our souls, for he hath given to us who have believed in Jesus eternal life, and we can never die, or be separated from him.
