Daily Devotional -  by Faith Peay
 
    One of the bible stories that has always intrigued me was the story of Enoch walking with God in Genesis 5:22-24.  “Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years……and he was not, for God took him.”  Hebrews 11:5 tells us that Enoch had “obtained the witness, he was pleasing to God.”

     I mean seriously, Enoch walked with God 300 years.  Every day, Enoch arose and sought the Lord, walking faithfully with the Almighty.  Eventually, Enoch became so pleasing to God that, without passing through death, he was taken home to be with the Lord.  I try to wrap my head around that.  I wonder what they talked about for three hundred years.  I would like to have one day like that, let alone three hundred years.  Sometimes we forget, or I do, to just walk with God, and carry on a conversation without asking for things or to just to be in His presence being enough.  The trouble is, the troubles of the world crowd around us and we get nervous and frightened about what lies ahead. 

     Whatever may happen in the future, the God of the future is walking with us today.  And while we may not be able to see into tomorrow, our faithfulness to Christ today is our best security for whatever lies ahead.

     As the first person raptured by Christ, Enoch sets the standard for all whom Jesus will one day gather to Himself.  Simply and passionately walk with God.
