Scripture:
Genesis 5:21-24
When Enoch
had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah.22 After
he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300
years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Altogether,
Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24 Enoch walked
faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.
In verses 21-24, we are briefly told about a man
named Enoch. Enoch walked with God and then, was no more because God took him.
Hebrews 11:5 explains that Enoch did not experience death but was taken to
Heaven without dying.
What do you think it means to walk with God?
I imagine two people taking a long journey
together, talking on the road as they walk. The longer the journey, the more
topics they find to talk about, and their conversations, and their
relationship, become deeper.
Jude 1:14 shows that Enoch was a prophet and that
he hated sin.
What about you? Do you walk with God in your daily
life? How can you walk with Him more closely? Do you hate sin with a passion
just as God does? Are you warning others to flee from sin?
If you walk with God, you may not be able to skip
death like Enoch did, but like Enoch, God will bring you to Himself when your
time comes. And the reward of walking with God isn't just Heaven. The reward of
walking with God in this life is getting to walk with God in this life! It's
having Him as your constant companion on your journey through life. It's having
His comfort, His strength, His wisdom, and His love continually with you.
