Genesis 6:9

"This is the account of Noah.  Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God."  Genesis 6:9

Now, not only did Noah find favor in God's eyes, but, like his great grandfather Enoch, it says he walked with God.  The way to find favor with God is to be in that continual conversation with him.  God wants to have a relationship with each and everyone of us.  It's hard to have a relationship when you never talk to someone.  We've got to talk to him and listen and then maybe we can be described as people that walk with God.
