Genesis Five

"Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years. Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away."
---Genesis 5:24

I love the story of Enoch. In the middle of how long people lived and who had what kid, God decides to let us learn about Enoch. There are few words said about him, but the ones that are used, speak volumes about his character.


What if it was said on your epitaph that you lived _________ years, had _________ kids and you walked with God. What a beautiful picture of God's compassionate heart.

I found it interesting that he lived 365 years. There just so happens to be 365 days in a year. I wonder if God was teaching us something about our walk with Him. That maybe, it is an everyday kind of thing. It can be so easy to lose focus in the middle of a week. God desires us to walk with Him daily.


Then again, I could be over thinking it.


"Father, help me today to walk with you
in every step I take."
