God Takes Up Enoch
18When Jared was 162 years old, he became the father of Enoch. 19And after he had become the father of Enoch, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20So Jared lived a total of 962 years, and then he died.
21When Enoch was 65 years old, he became the father of Methuselah. 22And after he had become the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23So Enoch lived a total of 365 years.
24Enoch walked with God, and then he was no more, because God had taken him away.
“Enoch walked with God after Methuselah had been born, three hundred years, and doubtless he had walked with him before. What a splendid walk! A walk of three hundred years! One might desire a change of company if he walked with anybody else, but to walk with God for three centuries was so sweet that the patriarch kept on with his walk until he walked beyond time and space, and walked into paradise.” (Spurgeon)
Enoch was a special person, so special he walked with God for three centuries. I find this amazing because we can’t seem to walk with God for one!
What a splendid walk!
the patriarch kept on with his walk until he walked beyond time and space, and walked into paradise....
May God give us the strength to finish our walk with Him on earth.
Blessings, David
