Enoch
is this week’s hero of the Bible in my sermon series. He was a man who pleased
God. His God story life’s theme would be:
Please God in all you do. Little has been written but much has been said
about this Godly man. We first hear of him in the book of Genesis.
When
Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. After
he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years
and had other sons and daughters. Altogether,
Enoch lived a total of 365 years. Enoch
walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. - Genesis 5:21-24
This passage describes Enoch's walk and his private life. The word walk denotes a devout life, lived
in close communion with God. He did this for a period of 365 years. He was faithfully consistent in his relationship with God.
May we strive to be walking with God and not away from Him. Amen?
