"Walking with God is a pleasant walk. The ways of wisdom are called pleasantness, (Prov. 3:17). Is the light not pleasant? 'They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance,' (Psa. 89:15). Walking with God is like walking among beds of spices which send forth a fragrant perfume. This is what brings peace: 'walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost,' (Acts (9:31). While we walk with God, what sweet music the birds of conscience makes in our breast! 'They shall sing in the ways of the Lord,' (Psa. 138:5).
"Walking with God is honourable. It is a credit for one of an inferior rank to walk with a king. What greater dignity can be put upon a mortal man than to converse with his Maker and to walk with God every day?
"Walking with God leads to rest: 'There remains therefore a rest for the people of God,' (Heb. 4:9). The philosopher Aristotle says, 'Motion tends to rest.' Indeed, there is a motion which does not tend to rest. They who walk with their sins shall never have rest: 'they rest not day and night,' (Rev. 4:8). But they that walk with God shall sit down in the kingdom of God, (Luke 13:29); just as a weary traveler, when he comes home, sits down and rests. 'To him that overcoms will I grant to sit with Me on My throne,' (Rev. 3:21). A throne denotes honour and sitting denotes rest."
