Wednesday, January 18, 2023 at 9:12AM The Faith of Enoch
Today is January 18, 2023
Welcome to your mid-week!
Enoch is one of only two people in scripture who does not experience death. The reason he is given this reward is because
Enoch walked faithfully with God.
Now, compare his life to all the other great men and women of God in the bible. Enoch does not have one specific amazing moment of faith worth mentioning at all.
No huge leap of faith. No impossible task to do. No Goliaths to fight. No wars to win. No floods to face. No miracles to hope for. No legacy to pass on. No home to leave or culture to turn from or government to stand up against.
No specific moment worth mentioning at all. If Enoch had a eulogy it would not say anything of note except
Enoch walked faithfully with God.
And that, that is enough. Enoch's consistent faith - his life of faith - is what made him worthy to be on the list of those in the 'Hall of Faith' that is found in Hebrews 11. And, above everyone mentioned on that list, he and Elijah are the only ones not to experience death. That is how highly God viewed his act of faith.
And that is the point.
Enoch's faith might not have been flashy or dramatic; he might have not done anything worthy of note - but what he showed was a consistent faith his entire life. And a consistent faith is not only impactful, not only commended by God, but it is also how we pass our faith forward.
God's blessing as you meditate on the faith of Enoch, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
