Day 3

Scripture to Read: Genesis 5:6-24

As we continue our journey through Genesis 5, we find a few verses that stand out among the rest. God gave us the genealogy from Adam, then Seth, and so on. When we get to Genesis 5:21-24, we find something different than what God shared about the others in this genealogy. God shared this in Genesis 5:21-24, When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah. 22 Enoch walked with God after he fathered Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Thus all the days of Enoch were 365 years. 24 Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him. Twice, God makes sure that Moses writes these words: “Enoch walked with God.” God leaves absolutely no doubt in our minds that Enoch lived according to the will of God, and Enoch also pursued and experienced a vibrant fellowship with our Lord. To “walk with God” means that we live in a manner worthy of Him and please Him in all aspects of our lives. We also then will bear fruit for our Lord, not only in our lives but also through our lives. God’s desire is that we do walk with Him every moment of every day. God even led Paul to pray this prayer for the believers in Colossae, that they would walk with God (in Colossians 1:9-14). The prayer that God led Paul to pray should be a daily part of our prayer life, as we pray this prayer for ourselves and for all believers every day.

Challenge & Application

1. What did God teach you today about walking with Him and about how to pray for yourself and other believers? 2. How are you walking with God each day and how would others describe your walk with God?

Don’t forget to pray using the A.C.T.S. (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication) method!

Day 1

As we begin our walk through Genesis 5 this week, we’ll see how God gives a great reminder of His goodness and that He’s always faithful. Although Genesis 5 is a long genealogy, we need to always remind ourselves that all of God’s Word is God-breathed and incredibly profitable. God tells us this in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, All Scripture is breathed...

Day 2

In Genesis 5, God continues to show us where we began. Remember, these are our generations all the way back to Adam. It’s interesting that in Genesis 5, God starts back at the beginning again. The reason for starting over is because God began a new branch with the birth of Seth. As we study God’s Word, we find that Seth is in the lineage of o...

Day 4

We continue to look at Enoch and what an incredible example he was and still is to all who seek to walk with our Lord. God not only has Enoch mentioned here in Genesis 5, but then God makes sure the writer of Hebrews mentions Enoch in the “hall of faith” in Hebrews 11. What we have to see in Genesis 5:24 is that because Enoch walked with God,...

Day 5

Today, we continue to look at Enoch and what a godly example he was and still is to all believers today. We know that Enoch never tasted death because God tells us in Genesis 5:24 that “God took him.” There are only TWO people in Scripture who never tasted death. Enoch was the first and Elijah was the second. We know this because God tells us...

Day 6

As we finish up with Enoch today, we need to know a little bit more about how God used him. We find Enoch also mentioned in Jude 1:14-15. Here is what God’s Word says about Enoch in the book of Jude, It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His holy ones, 15 t...

Day 7

It’s interesting that there is a Lamech mentioned in Genesis 4 in the line of Cain. This Lamech boasts of murder and his self-proclaimed belief of God’s protection. This Lamech is the only person in the lineage of Cain whose words are recorded – speaking of vengeance, arrogance, and murder. Then, in Genesis 5 we have another Lamech mentioned,...
