The third Excellency.
Thirdly, The Excellency of walking with God consists in this, In the blessed satisfaction that the soul must needs have in walking with him: to walk with life its self, with glory, with happiness, and that in a constant way, this must needs satisfy the soul, must I say bring inconceivable satisfaction and peace unto the soul thus walking with Him. You know what Philip said, Let us see the Father, and it sufficeth us: What, would it suffice Philip to see God? Oh then! not only to see him, but to walk and be continually with him. People will run many times but to have the fight of a great man, but to be admitted into the same room and to walk with him; this is more, in the 33. of Exod 14. And he said, my presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest: God promised to Moses that his presence should be with him, and then when the presence of God is with the soul, Oh the rest that the soul hath by the presence of God! Oh the lettings out of joy that there must needs be to the heart that walks with God! in the 38. Psal. 8. 9. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house, and thou shalt make them drink of the rivers of thy pleasures; for with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light. Certainly where God walks there is a glorious light round about, that such a soul never walks in darkness, the light of God shines about it; as we read of those that walked with Christ to Emmaus, the text saith, Their hearts burned within them. Certainly the hearts of the Saints walking with God must needs be filled with those influences from God that must make their hearts glow within them while they are walking with him: in Psal. 89. 15, 16. you have a notable Scripture there about the satisfaction of the soul in ⟨p. 289⟩walking with God, Blessed are the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk O Lord in the light of thy countenance, In thy Name shall they rejoice all the day, and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. Those that walk with God they walk in the light of Gods Countenance, and in Gods Name shall they rejoice all the day, and in his righteousness shall they be exalted. Oh! a blessed thing it is to walk with God.
